Hi Fivetran Product Team,

 

We’d like to request a feature to estimate expected MAR impact before triggering a re-sync on a table- or connection- level.

 

Problem:

When re-enabling previously synced tables and running a historical re-sync, we currently see a warning that “updates or inserts will be charged,” but there is no way to know ahead of time how many rows will be counted as new/updated. Support confirmed there is no dry-run or API to preview how many rows a table- or connection-level resync will write.  

 

Request:

- "Dry run" / "estimate MAR for re-sync" button on schema or resync dialog, and/or

- An API endpoint that returns estimated rows to be inserted/updated for a chosen re-sync scope.

 

Business impact:

We manage multiple Shopify connections and periodically need to re-sync large historical tables, add new tables, disable and re-enable old tables etc. Without an estimate, it’s difficult to decide on whether to re-sync now vs. later, communicate cost risk internally and forecast monthly spends.

 

Even a rough preview (e.g., "expected new/updated rows range" or "estimated MAR") would improve planning and reduce surprise costs. Thanks for considering this!
