Every month we send out a customer newsletter highlighting product and connector releases. Below you'll find the full product update for the month, which includes additional content that didn't make the email.
We also encourage you to check out the Fivetran Release Notes which includes schema changes.
New releases
Integrate & analyze your unstructured data
Fivetran now supports unstructured data, enabling you to integrate and analyze even your most complex datasets such as documents, PDFs, images, and logs alongside your structured data. By automating the extraction of unstructured data, you can now perform deeper analytics and easily build RAG-based and other GenAI applications. This feature is currently in private preview for our Sharepoint connector to Snowflake destinations, with additional sources and destinations coming soon. Learn more here. If you’re interested in joining the private preview, or have a specific source you’d like to see supported, email beta@fivetran.com.
Quickly build and deploy RAG applications with Fivetran’s AI-ready Quickstart data model
Our latest Gen AI-ready Quickstart data model enables users to take data from popular sources like Zendesk, Jira, and HubSpot, and turn it into Gen-AI ready tables with the click of a button. The model formats unstructured document data into manageable "chunks of text" for seamless AI model processing. With these models, users can quickly build and deploy intelligent tools, such as AI-powered search assistants or customer sentiment analyzers, with minimal technical effort or setup.
Move data from SAP ERP on HANA to your destination without it ever leaving your secure environment
Our SAP ERP on HANA connector is now available on Hybrid Deployment in GA. With Hybrid Deployment, you can leverage Fivetran's easy-to-use platform that’s hosted in the cloud, while running SAP pipelines within your own environment or VPC. Benefits of SAP on Hybrid Deployment include:
- Support for Runtime & Enterprise licenses
- Connect to SAP Rise & SAP HEC
- Handle special SAP data types & tables: Long text & date fields, cluster & pool tables, CDS views
Load data into your data lake with self-hosted pipelines
If you want to use Fivetran to move data to your Amazon S3 data lake but want to avoid 3rd party data processing, or want all of the data movement to remain within your secure, self-hosted environment, try Hybrid Deployment! With our Hybrid Deployment offering for S3 – now in Private Preview – you can use Fivetran’s easy-to-use platform, while self-hosting data pipelines from over 100 sources into S3, ensuring full data security. For early access to Amazon S3 data lake on hybrid deployment, email beta@fivetran.com.
Retain a history of records for your data lake with history mode – now in beta
With Fivetran’s history mode (i.e. type 2 slowly changing dimensions), you can retain a history of records. For Salesforce, this includes tracking account growth over time, understanding the history of bookings and cancellations, tracking customer success, and other employee influence on revenue. Enable this feature, which traditionally takes analytics effort, by simply turning on the toggle in the UI or via our API.
