Salesforce Release Notes

Fivetran System User Fivetranner

March 2021link

We have fixed a bug where deleted records were missing from the OpportunitySplit object and were not being synced from Salesforce’s Get Deleted endpoint. We will re-import the OpportunitySplit object based on our re-import logic. We are gradually rolling out this improvement to all existing customers. The re-imported OpportunitySplit object will count towards your monthly active rows. If you observe that deleted records are not marked as deleted in the OpportunitySplit object, contact our support team.

February 2021link

We now sync the following system tables by default and have removed them from the Schema tab on your connector details page:

  • FIVETRAN_API_CALL
  • FIVETRAN_QUERY
  • FIVETRAN_FORMULA
  • FIVETRAN_FORMULA_HISTORY

We now support custom metadata type objects. We are gradually rolling out this new feature to all existing customers. If you’d like to enable this feature on your connector, contact our support team.

January 2021link

We now support the following Salesforce objects:

  • Announcement
  • ContentDocumentLink
  • ContentFolderItem
  • ContentFolderMember
  • IdeaComment
  • Vote

If you’d like to enable the feature on your connector, contact our support team.

November 2020link

We have upgraded our Salesforce connector from version 45.0 to 50.0 of the Salesforce REST API. We are gradually rolling out this new feature to all existing customers. If you’d like to enable this feature on your connector, contact our support team.

September 2020link

We now use Salesforce’s Bulk API 2.0 for your connector’s historical syncs. Previously, we used the REST API for the historical syncs. We are gradually rolling out this new feature to all existing customers. If you’d like to enable this feature on your connector, contact our support team.

You can now select the FIVETRAN_FORMULA and FIVETRAN_FORMULA_HISTORY tables to sync from the Schema tab on your connector details page. We are gradually rolling out this new feature to all existing customers. If you’d like to enable this feature on your connector, contact our support team.

August 2020link

We have released Fivetran history mode for Salesforce. You can turn on history mode for any table and capture every version of each record in your destination. With history mode, you can analyze data from a particular point in time or analyze how data has changed over time. To learn more, read our history mode documentation.

We are gradually rolling out history mode to existing customers. If you’d like to access history mode immediately, contact our support team.

We have released a pre-built dbt package for Salesforce. Find the package in Fivetran’s dbt hub. Learn more about our dbt integration in our dbt Transformations documentation.

We now capture deletes of history tables using the is_deleted field from Salesforce. Read our History tables documentation for more information.

We have disabled History mode for Salesforce history tables because history tables track object history by default. The changes made to an object over time are recorded in the Salesforce history tables using field history tracking.

June 2020link

We no longer capture deletes for tables with names ending with _HISTORY, for example, OBJECT_NAME_HISTORY. Deletes from these tables contributed an unacceptably high amount of monthly active rows.

You can now select the FIVETRAN_API_CALL and FIVETRAN_QUERY tables to sync from the Schema tab on your connector details page.

April 2020link

We now add a fivetran_synced column while syncing empty tables and columns from the source.

March 2020link

We can now re-import tables that can’t be incrementally updated. We automatically detect tables with replicateable = false and updateable = false values and re-import them in full. We mark the re-imported tables as notRecommended in the dashboard and exclude them from incremental syncs by default. However, you can choose to include them.

December 2019link

  • We now force the creation of schemas, even if they contain no data. This is especially helpful for Looker users since Looker’s pre-built SQL queries fail if all tables and columns in a schema are not present. Previously, we did not create schemas when they contained no data.

  • Even if a column is not populated in the source, we create a column for it in the destination with null records.

Note: We will not create a column if you have not selected it in the column config.

We are rolling out this improvement in a phased manner to ensure connector reliability. It may not be available to every customer right away. Contact our support team if you’d like to be included in the early phase of the rollout.

July 2019link
