How the Gist sync works
Section titled “How the Gist sync works”After the first load, Kaivo keeps your BigQuery warehouse up to date for you. Where Gist supports it, each sync pulls only new and changed records so it stays fast; otherwise it refreshes the whole table. Every record keeps its original ID, so you won’t get duplicate rows.
Frequently asked questions
Section titled “Frequently asked questions”How long does the initial sync take for Gist?
Section titled “How long does the initial sync take for Gist?”It depends on how much history is in your Gist account. Most initial syncs finish within minutes, while large accounts can take a few hours. After that, syncs only fetch new and changed records, so they’re much faster.
Can I sync only some tables or columns?
Section titled “Can I sync only some tables or columns?”Yes. You pick which tables to sync when you set up the connection and can change the selection later. Tables you don’t select are never copied to your warehouse.
What happens when Gist’s schema changes?
Section titled “What happens when Gist’s schema changes?”New fields are never added automatically. You choose which fields to sync, so data you haven’t selected (sensitive personal data, for example) never lands in your warehouse. When a new field appears, it becomes available for you to add. What happens to removed or renamed fields depends on a table’s sync mode: full-refresh tables always match what’s currently in Gist, so dropped fields disappear, while incremental tables keep their existing columns and history, so an old field stays and newly added fields fill in over time.
How do I handle GDPR or data deletion requests?
Section titled “How do I handle GDPR or data deletion requests?”Your data lives in your own Kaivo-managed BigQuery warehouse, so the most direct option is to delete or anonymise specific records right in BigQuery. If you delete data in Gist instead, full-refresh tables drop it on the next sync, while incremental tables keep it, so you would remove the row in BigQuery or ask us to run a full refresh. To remove everything, delete the Gist connector in Kaivo and all of its synced data is deleted with it.
