Can Fivetran Apply Labels or Metadata to My Destination Tables?

Question

Can Fivetran automatically apply labels or metadata, such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP) labels in BigQuery or tags in Snowflake, to datasets or tables in my destination?

Environment

All destinations

Answer

No, Fivetran doesn't support applying custom labels or metadata to destination datasets or tables as part of the sync process.

We recommend using automation in your destination to manage labels or metadata. Most destinations provide scheduling or workflow tools that can run after each sync to apply or update metadata on new or changed objects. For example, BigQuery users can use Google Cloud Scheduler to trigger a script that applies labels to new or updated tables. This approach ensures your metadata stays consistent without manual intervention.
