how to refresh destination schema for a data activation connection? i manually call discover_schema endpoint with the destination id but it doesnt update it in the UI, there's no refresh schema option in the connection panel itself

Thinking completed The knowledge sources don't contain enough information to give you a definitive answer on refreshing the destination schema for a data activation connection via the API. However, here's what the docs do clarify that's relevant to your situation: • For data activation connections, the Schema tab is not available. Instead, you manage your schema through the Mappings tab. [Managing Connections] • The
discover_schema
endpoint operates on the source, not the destination. Calling it with a destination ID is likely why you're not seeing updates — it's designed to discover the source schema. [Forum Post] • For data activation destinations, schema is managed by mapping source fields to destination fields within the connection's Mappings tab. The destination schema (e.g., HubSpot fields) is typically fetched from the destination connector itself when the connection is set up. [Add a Connection] What you can try: 1. Navigate to your connection in the UI. 2. Click the Mappings tab — this is where schema configuration lives for data activation connections. 3. If you need to update mappings, modify them there and click Submit. If the destination schema (e.g., new fields added to your destination) isn't reflecting in the Mappings tab, the knowledge sources don't explicitly document a way to force-refresh the destination schema via API. I'd recommend reaching out to Airbyte support or checking the Airbyte community for guidance specific to your destination connector. 👍 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 so i have to create a new connection each time i need a new field?

Thinking completed No, you don't need to create a new connection each time. You can modify existing mappings on a connection without recreating it. Here's how: 1. Click Connections in the sidebar. 2. Click the connection you want to update. 3. Click Mappings. 4. Add or adjust the field mappings you need. 5. Click Submit. [Modify a Mapping] Airbyte may prompt you to refresh or clear your destination after submitting changes to avoid unexpected behavior. [Considerations and Limitations] That said, the knowledge sources don't explicitly address your original issue of the destination's available fields not updating in the Mappings UI (e.g., a newly added field in your destination not appearing as an option to map to). If that's the problem you're facing, I'd recommend reaching out to Airbyte support or the Airbyte community for more specific guidance. 👍 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 but there is no way to update the mapping to retrieve new destination cols

Thinking completed You're right, and I want to be transparent here: the knowledge sources do not contain enough information to answer this question confidently. The docs cover how to modify existing mappings and add mappings for fields already available, but they don't explicitly document how to trigger a refresh of the destination's available fields/columns within an existing connection's Mappings tab. I'd recommend: • Reaching out to Airbyte Support directly. • Posting in the Airbyte Community Forum where others may have encountered the same issue. These would be the best places to get a definitive answer on whether there's a supported way to refresh destination columns without recreating the connection. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
