@kapa.ai - is it possible to perform reverse etl with airbyte ? Is it possible only on cloud or also with the open source airbyte ?

Yes, reverse ETL (which Airbyte calls Data Activation) is now supported in Airbyte. [Data activation docs] Availability It is available on both Airbyte Cloud and Airbyte Open Source (self-managed): • Airbyte Cloud: API destinations are already available in your workspace. [Early Access announcement] • Airbyte Open Source: You need to upgrade to version 1.8 or later to access this feature. [Early Access announcement] What it does Data Activation enables you to move data out of your data warehouse (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift) and into operational SaaS tools like CRMs, marketing platforms, and support systems. [Data activation docs] Currently supported destinations The early access includes: • HubSpot • Customer.io • Salesforce (available exclusively to Self-Managed Enterprise customers as an additional charge) [v1.8 release notes] Key features • Field mapping UI to map source fields to destination schemas • New sync modes: insert, update, upsert, and soft delete • Support for partial successes with statistics for rejected records [Early Access announcement] Airbyte also plans to expand to 200+ API destinations over time. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.

@kapa.ai - is it easy to create new destination like freshsales or brevo ?

Based on the knowledge sources, here's what can be said about creating new destination connectors in Airbyte: Creating New Destination Connectors Creating new destination connectors is more complex than creating source connectors. Here's why: • Connector Builder is not available for destinations. The no-code Connector Builder only supports creating source connectors. [Connector Builder overview] • The Low-Code CDK also does not support destinations. Both the Connector Builder and the Low-Code CDK are limited to source connectors. [Connector development options] What you'd need to do instead To build a destination connector (e.g., for Freshsales or Brevo), you would need to use the Python CDK or the Java/Kotlin Dataflow CDK, which require actual coding. The destination connector development process involves multiple steps such as: • Project scaffolding and build setup • Database/API connectivity implementation • Write operation logic (append, overwrite, dedupe, CDC) • Integration testing This is estimated to take 2–7 days depending on the complexity and features needed. [Step-by-step destination guide] Important note on contributions Airbyte has also stated that until a declarative YAML interface for API destinations is in place, they will not be accepting open source contributions for new API destinations. [Early Access announcement] Summary So in short, creating a new destination connector for tools like Freshsales or Brevo is not as easy as creating a source connector — it requires development effort and coding skills. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help., with interactive elements
