How to Set a Custom Sync Frequency

You can override Fivetran's default sync frequency (a sync every 6 hours) for a connector.

You can set your custom sync frequency by specifying your chosen time interval between syncs in minutes as a value of the sync_frequency parameter in the Modify a Connector endpoint request.

We support the following sync intervals (in minutes):

• 1 - HVA database connectors only
• 5
• 15
• 30
• 60 (1 hour)
• 120 (2 hours)
• 180 (3 hours)
• 360 (6 hours) - default value
• 480 (8 hours)
• 720 (12 hours)
• 1440 (24 hours)

For example, let's say we want to set a custom frequency for connector connector_id_1 to be synced every hour (60 minutes).

{
    "sync_frequency": 60
}
