Connector Improvement: Implement disabling intercom tables sync

Not planned
Evgenii Nikolaev User

Hello!
Currently the intercom connector does not let to e.g. exclude "user_tag_history" from syncing.
It says that the table is a "system table" and it's not possible to be excluded.
I propose to revise the intercom schema and make as much as tables non-mandatory as possible.

    Hi Evgenii - we carefully consider all requests to add configuration to Fivetran connectors. Additional configuration comes at the real cost of increased code complexity and increased maintenance effort. That results in fewer new connectors and features. Configuration for one or two tables doesn't sound like much, but each request is for different tables. Implementing each one would create an impossible burden across the thousands of tables in our carefully designed schemas. Where we have added table configuration to API-based connectors is when the MAR is disproportional to the MAR of the entire connector.

    Thanks Ray. This is the exact case where a lot of MARs (large part of our all budget actually!) is spending on totally unnecessary things. We are considering to give up with the intercom connector and implement an in-house integration.

    We would benefit from this as well. Some tables are extremely large, and we don't need them.

    Same here, `contact_company_history` table is a quite big core table and contributes to significant MAR but can't be disabled. So we are paying for something we are not using.
