Get real-time updates on your data pipelines with Fivetran webhooks

Fivetran has introduced webhooks, a feature that enables developers to use real-time messages for various purposes such as powering user experiences, transforming data, driving error alerting, and more. Webhooks work by automatically serving data without the need for repeated requests from users. This new feature eliminates uncertainty and extra effort in obtaining connector updates, allowing Fivetran to watch for specific events and push updates to a designated endpoint. Currently available events during beta include sync_start, sync_end, status, transformation_run_start, transformation_run_succeeded, transformation_run_failed, dbt_run_start, dbt_run_succeeded, and dbt_run_failed. Webhooks can be used to trigger various actions such as sending emails, Slack alerts, or in-product notifications when data is ready for consumption, or triggering notifications to DevOps tools like PagerDuty when a data pipeline breaks down.
