Question

How often does Fivetran check for changes to dbt models in my Git repository?

Environment

Transformations: Transformations for dbt Core

Answer

We automatically scan your dbt project every 60 seconds to ensure we capture new code changes. If there are changes, we then download, parse, and apply the changes, which may take up to 10 minutes. To see the status of our latest Git sync in your Fivetran dashboard, click Transformations in the left navigation pane and choose your destination. The latest Git sync status appears in the top left corner. See our View transformations documentation for more information.

If you change your dbt model, we will attempt to apply the changes to your next transformation run. However, if we encounter any errors, we won't apply the changes, and we will continue to use the most recent dbt project version that we were able to parse successfully. To see errors relating to your transformation runs, go to the Alerts page.
