How Can I Ensure Connections Created On Behalf of My End Users Are Identifiable?

Question

How can I ensure connections created on behalf of my end users are identifiable?

Environment

REST API

Answer

Use a connection naming policy that maintains clear differentiation by customers in a destination. Follow a naming pattern such as {customer_name}_connection_type.

For example, imagine you created a Salesforce connection for your end user, customer_name = apple. Using this naming policy, you'd name the connection apple-salesforce. This name would appear in the Fivetran dashboard and as the schema name in the destination.
