🚀 Product Updates

📖 Universal support for upserts with external IDs

When writing data to a connector there are many cases where you may want to later update that same record again. A handful of systems (such as Salesforce and NetSuite) natively support the concept of an external id – this essentially allows you to use your own ID to reference an object rather than having to store the internal id of that system.

hotglue now supports external id upserts natively in our target-hotglue-sdk – this means that even systems that do not natively support external ids can support external ids via hotglue. Check out the demo below with HubSpot:

This feature is in beta currently, and we plan to expand support to other targets across our library. If you’re interested in trying it out, let us know! Read the docs here: https://docs.hotglue.com/key-concepts/jobs/write-jobs#external-id

🔨 Connector Builder Updates

We have had a great response to the new connector builder! It’s been so great to see what you all have been able to build with it already.

Many of you submitted feature requests on the connector builder, and we have added support for:

• Parent/Child streams
• OAuth
• Bearer token authentication
• Static streams

Check out the demo of creating a custom OAuth connector below:

🖇️ Subtenant symlinks

There may be cases where it’s useful to reuse a connection across multiple subtenants.

For example, you may want to configure a unique field map per subtenant but read data from a single Salesforce instance. This is now possible using symlinks via our linked sources API!

🔌 Connector Updates

⚡ Shopify GraphQL connector performance enhancements

For folks using our Shopify GraphQL connector (shopify-v2), we have rolled out some major performance improvements.

When syncing orders, the previous performance of the Shopify connector was ~500 records/min – with the new version we are able to sync ~2.5k records/min 🚀

The new version does include some changes to the schema of the data. If you’re interested in upgrading to the new version, contact us!

That’s all for this month! Thanks for reading :)
