MotherDuck Setup Guide Partner-Built Private Preview
Follow our setup guide to connect your MotherDuck destination to Fivetran.
NOTE: This destination is partner-built. For any questions related to MotherDuck destination and its documentation, contact MotherDuck Support.
Prerequisites
To connect MotherDuck to Fivetran, you need the following:
- A MotherDuck account
- A Fivetran role with the Create Destinations or Manage Destinations permissions
Complete Fivetran configuration
- Log in to your Fivetran account.
- Go to the Destinations page and click Add destination.
- Enter a Destination name of your choice and then click Add.
- Select MotherDuck as the destination type.
- Enter your Authentication Token. Refer to MotherDuck's documentation for details on how to get the authentication token.
- Enter the Database name of an existing MotherDuck database you want to replicate to.
- Click Save and Test.
Fivetran tests that you are able to connect to MotherDuck with the provided token. On successful completion of the setup test, you can sync your data into the MotherDuck destination database using Fivetran connectors.
In addition, Fivetran automatically configures a Fivetran Platform Connector to transfer the connector logs and account metadata to a schema in this destination. The Fivetran Platform Connector enables you to monitor your connectors, track your usage, and audit changes. The connector sends all these details at the destination level.
IMPORTANT: If you are an Account Administrator, you can manually add the Fivetran Platform Connector on an account level so that it syncs all the metadata and logs for all the destinations in your account to a single destination. If an account-level Fivetran Platform Connector is already configured in a destination in your Fivetran account, then we don't add destination-level Fivetran Platform Connectors to the new destinations you create.
