September 2024

We have renamed our Local Processing Agent Management API to Hybrid Deployment Agent Management API. We will stop supporting the previous paths that were applicable to the Local Processing Agent Management API in 3 months from now. Therefore, you must migrate to the new API before we stop supporting the old paths.

We have added a new parameter, hybrid_deployment_agent_id, to the Connector Management API and Destination Management API. The new parameter defines the Hybrid Deployment Agent ID and is a duplicate of the local_processing_agent_id parameter. We will remove the local_processing_agent_id parameter in future.

We now restrict API users from triggering File connectors to sync if:

the append_file_option field has its value set to upsert_file_with_primary_keys
and the primary keys are not defined in the schema configuration

We also restrict the following actions for such connectors:

Creating a new connector in an un-paused state via API;
Updating the connector's paused field to false via API request;
Forcing the connector sync or re-sync via API request.

We added a new tab where you can add, view, and rotate the previously introduced System Keys in your Fivetran dashboard. To manage System Keys, you must have administrative permissions on the account. Learn more in our System Keys management documentation.

system_keys_list

You can add a new System Key by uploading a JSON file with the key access rules. We then validate the file and show a summary of key permissions.

add_system_key
