Other: Add "Sync From Selected Date" as an option in the resync REST API
PlannedWe have had an issue with the Marketing Cloud connector where many events are missed on a regular basis. See my support ticket at https://support.fivetran.com/hc/en-us/requests/276236.
In order to make sure that all events are picked up from Marketing Cloud, I'd like to automate a resync periodically. We do this with other tables using the api at:
https://api.fivetran.com/v1/connectors/[connection_id]/schemas/tables/resync
Documented here:
But... the full resync takes a long time (days). I want to trigger a resync just of one months or one weeks worth of data. We can do this in the UI with "Sync From Selected Date" here:

But... that option is not available via the API. Can it be added so a resync can happen on just a portion of the data historically?
Thanks!

Hi Josh,
Thank you for reaching out with your feature request and providing a detailed explanation of your needs. We greatly appreciate your engagement and feedback.
What you're requesting makes sense. We should allow customers to set a historical sync time frame using the modify connection call. Currently, we only support this when creating a connection. I have added your request to our backlog, where it will be reviewed and prioritized based on demand from our community and customers. Ensuring efficient data resync options is certainly an important aspect of our service, and your input is invaluable in helping us enhance it.
We will keep you updated on any progress or changes related to this feature. Please feel free to reach out if you have further questions or additional insights.
Best,
Luke
