Deprecation Notice

The Zuora source connector is scheduled for deprecation on March 5th, 2024 due to incompatibility with upcoming platform updates as we prepare to launch Airbyte 1.0. This means it will no longer be supported or available for use in Airbyte.

This connector does not support new per-stream features which are vital for ensuring data integrity in Airbyte's synchronization processes. Without these capabilities, we cannot enforce our standards of reliability and correctness for data syncing operations.

Recommended Actions

Users who still wish to sync data from this connector are advised to explore creating a custom connector as an alternative to continue their data synchronization needs. For guidance, please visit our Custom Connector documentation.

Sync overview

The Zuora source supports both Full Refresh and Incremental syncs. 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.

Airbyte uses REST API to fetch data from Zuora. The REST API accepts ZOQL (Zuora Object Query Language), a SQL-like language, to export the data.

Output schema

This Source is capable of syncing:

• standard objects available in Zuora account
• custom objects manually added by user, available in Zuora Account
• custom fields in both standard and custom objects, available in Zuora Account

The discovering of Zuora Account objects schema may take a while, if you add the connection for the first time, and/or you need to refresh your list of available streams. Please take your time to wait and don't cancel this operation, usually it takes up to 5-10 min, depending on number of objects available in Zuora Account.

Note:

Some of the Zuora Objects may not be available for sync due to limitations of Zuora Supscription Plan, Permissions. For details refer to the Availability of Data Source Objects section in the Zuora documentation.

Performance considerations

If you experience the long time for sync operation, please consider:

• to increase the window_in_days parameter inside Zuora source configuration
• use the smaller date range by tuning start_date parameter.

Note

Usually, the very first sync operation for all of the objects inside Zuora account takes up to 25-45-60 min, the more data you have, the more time you'll need.
