Introduction

Find out how you can split a connector up into multiple smaller connectors.

Environment

All connectors.

Steps

1. Log into your Fivetran Dashboard.
2. Select Connectors.
3. Select + Connector.
   Notes: This does not increase MAR as we are syncing the same number of rows.
4. Search for the connector you want to add.
5. Complete the connector setup.
6. Select the Schema tab for the new connector.
7. Enable the specific source objects you want to sync with this connector.
   Notes: This can only be done for connectors where you can edit which tables are synced in the Schema tab of the connector.
8. Repeat steps 1 to 7 for each connector you want to add.

Cause

Splitting a connector up into multiple smaller connectors can be done for a number of reasons. This can be based on table relationships, table priorities, time to load, table size, etc.

1. If there are large tables that take a long time to sync you can place those slower tables objects away from your main objects
2. If there are tables that are a priority and you want to ensure they sync as quickly as possible you can isolate them in their own connector
3. If there are certain relationships amongst tables and you want them to be synced together you can create separate connectors for this.
