Connector Improvement: Include sync_id in Functions connectors

Completed
Jillian Kozyra User

Fivetran supports some serverless-function based custom connectors, e.g. the Google Cloud Functions connector. Would it be possible to include the Fivetran sync_id as a field in the request body? This would make it easier for us to track connector runs in our metrics.

    Hi Jillian,

    Thank you for submitting this improvement request. Can you share a little more about how you are envisaging this would work?

    Are you referring to the sync_id that is included in any user visible Log message eg: the last line of this message:


    { "event" : "sync_end", 
      "data" : { 
          "status" : "SUCCESSFUL" 
       }, 
      "created" : "2022-10-18T20:16:50.165Z", 
      "connector_type" : "azure_function", 
      "connector_id" : "foobar", 
      "connector_name" : "azure_function_aws", 
      "sync_id" : "fa203754-546d-4e64-81f5-eaa814c1c401" }

    Are you requesting we include that in the request that gets sent to your function to trigger its execution?
    eg this message:

    {
    "agent" : "<function_connector_name>/<external_id>/<schema>",
    "state": {
        "cursor": "2018-01-01T00:00:00Z"
    },
    "secrets": {
        "apiToken": "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_0123456789"
    }
}

    Thank you so much 

    Alison

    Alison yes, that's exactly it. This would allow us to link our logs about the connector run with fivetran's.
