New Destination: Need api to return the external id that would be used to assume role for the s3 lake destnation

Answered
Rui Yang User

We need automate our flow to create a S3 Lake destination. Currently most of the steps under S3 lake can be automated, expect this one step which require a manual login into Five Tran Account and copy paste the external id in the Form.

This will prevent us to provided a seamless PBF experience, since we are in a multi tenant env, and we need to be able to create destination for different tenant pragmatically. 

this manual step is a no-go for us to switch to use FiveTran.

FWIW, it seems the external id pre-filled into the S3 Lake form is identical to the group id, I did not find any document to support that this is the consistent behavior going forward. Please confirm it is so, if not, please provide a way to return this piece of information via API.

    Hi Rui,

    Thank you so much for submitting this feature request and sharing your idea with us. Providing an API to return the external ID used to assume role for the S3 Lake destination does sound valuable, and I’ve added this to our feature improvements backlog for consideration.

    We are going to evaluate this as part of our Managed Data Lake Service Destination APIs.

    We truly appreciate your input, and I’ll keep this thread updated with any progress or developments as we review this feature.

    Thank you again for helping us improve Fivetran!

    Best regards,
    Casey Karst
