Connector Improvement: Github Connector: Better handling of Repository Deletion

Answered
Roderick Dunn User

Whenever a repo is deleted this seems to happen:

The connector fails with the error "HTTP 404 Not Found", and there's an alert that says we need to grant user permissions to the deleted repo (which doesn't make sense and is misleading). In addition the alert says we need to re-authorize the connector which isn't super straightforward for us because another team owns the Github authorization.

It would be great if Fivetran handled repo deletions gracefully.

    Hi Roderick Dunn,

    Thank you for your feature request regarding the handling of repository deletions in our GitHub connector. Currently, we cannot distinguish between a deleted repository and a repository with revoked permissions, which results in the "HTTP 404 Not Found" error and misleading alerts.

    Best,
