Getting started

If you already have an account, setup takes anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours (depending on the complexity of your internal firewalls and integration setups). The first step is to connect a data warehouse. After that, you'll be taken to the Dashboard, where you can add new connectors. Adding a new connector will lead you to the setup page with detailed notes on the screen and verification for the configuration. If you don't have permissions or access to a data source, it's best to invite users who do to Fivetran - you can create as many Fivetran users as you want! Once your first connector is created, it will begin syncing immediately and once that is done you can start using that data in your data warehouse. You can add as many connectors as needed to complete your initial setup.
