In the airbyte connector for salesforce I am not able to adjust the incremental field, does it force me to use SystemModstamp?
u
The Salesforce source connector in Airbyte supports several sync modes, including Incremental Sync - Append + Deduped and Incremental Sync - Append. However, the documentation does not specify the ability to adjust the incremental field. It seems that the Salesforce connector might be using a source-defined cursor, which could be the
SystemModstamp
field. In some sources, the cursor field is determined by the system without any user input. For example, in the exchange rates source, the source knows that the date field should be used to determine the last record that was synced. In these cases, you simply select the incremental option in the UI. However, it's important to note that this behavior might vary depending on the specific source connector. For the Salesforce connector, it would be best to refer to the specific connector documentation or reach out to the Airbyte community for more detailed information.
