Supported sync modes & Features

Feature Supported?
Full Refresh Sync Yes
Incremental Sync Yes
SSL connection Yes
Namespaces No

The Freshdesk supports full refresh and incremental sync. You can choose if this connector will copy only the new or updated data, or all rows in the tables and columns you set up for replication, every time a sync is run. There are two types of incremental sync:

  • server level (native) - when API supports filter on specific columns that Airbyte use to track changes (updated_at, created_at, etc)
  • client level - when API doesn't support filter and Airbyte performs filtration on its side.

Supported Streams

Several output streams are available from this source:

If there are more endpoints you'd like Airbyte to support, please create an issue.

Performance considerations

The Freshdesk connector should not run into Freshdesk API limitations under normal usage. Please create an issue if you see any rate limit issues that are not automatically retried successfully.
