Environment

Fivetran dashboard

Answer

You can configure your connection to sync data at a specific time only when your connection's sync frequency is set to 24 hours. To adjust your connection's sync frequency and set a sync start time, do the following:

1. In Fivetran, go to the connection details page.

2. Go to the Setup tab.

3. In the Sync frequency drop-down menu, select 24 hours.

4. A run time option appears below the Sync frequency drop-down menu. Click Change.

   

5. In the Daily Run Time drop-down menu, select the time you want your syncs to start.

6. Click Set Time.

   

You can also use the Fivetran REST API to set a 24-hour sync frequency and configure a start time. For more information, see our tutorial on setting a start time for daily syncs using the REST API.
