Connect a Reverse ETL Source to SFTP Destination

This guide takes you through the steps to connect a Reverse ETL source to the SFTP destination.

Set up connection

The Reverse ETL feature supports only source-driven pipeline configuration.

Make sure you have set up a RETL source and connected it to your SFTP destination before following the below steps.

1. Confirm the connection settings for SFTP destination and click Continue.
2. In the Data Mapping section, select the Object.
3. Specify the Sync mode to specify how RudderStack should sync the data to SFTP.
4. In Choose identifier, specify the warehouse column that RudderStack uses to identify your records.
5. Map the other warehouse columns to specific SFTP destination fields using the Map fields setting.

6. To create a new destination field and map it to a warehouse column, click Map another field and specify the name of the new field.

The newly created fields are stored in the SFTP destination for later use once you click Continue.

Once you set up the connection and start a sync, RudderStack takes up to 5 minutes to upload data to SFTP.

FAQ

Why can’t I add a Reverse ETL source from the destination page?

The Reverse ETL feature supports only source-driven pipeline configuration. It means that you must configure a Reverse ETL source in RudderStack and then connect it to a new or existing destination. Note that this destination should not be connected to any other source.

See Reverse ETL FAQ for more information.
