Hi Fivetran team,

Context & references
- Ticket #290033
- Feature Request: “Connector Improvement: Enable Historical Data Limiting or Date-Based Row Filtering for Outreach Connector” (posted 2025-07-22). It requests exactly what we need: global/per-connection date limits or row filters to avoid huge initial syncs across hundreds of connectors.

Your suggestion

Based on the ticket, you have suggested exploring creating a custom Fivetran connector. Quoting your message:

Another option could be utilizing the Fivetran Connector SDK, which allows for building custom connectors with logic tailored to your needs (such as syncing only recent records).

Problem
We built an SDK connector adding a sync_start_date filter and it works, but (as far as we can tell) SDK connections cannot be created via the REST API. This would greatly complicate things for us, as we would need to create, maintain and debug hundreds of custom connectors that essentially serve the same purpose: limiting the historical sync window.

Request
1. Preferred: Add a sync_start_date filter to the official Outreach connector.
2. Alternatives:

• Allow creation of SDK connections via API so we programmatically spin up connections for our custom SDK connector.
• Table-level row filters or reversing fetch order to newest-first.

Thank you!
