Merge connector

Set up the Merge connector in Kaivo: authentication, configuration, the 14 BigQuery tables it syncs, and answers to common questions.

Written By Lauri Raivio

Last updated 16 days ago

Kaivo is a fully managed data platform that syncs your Merge data into a Google BigQuery warehouse and keeps it up to date automatically. There is no pipeline to build and no infrastructure to run, so you can spend your time analysing your data from Merge instead of moving it.

What is the Merge connector

Sync your Merge unified API data into BigQuery with Kaivo to analyse HR and recruiting data from your connected integrations.

Category	Tech
Authentication	API key
Setup	Self-service

Getting started with the Merge connector

Sign up for Kaivo and create a workspace.
Connect your Merge account.
Choose which tables to sync.
Wait for the initial sync to finish.
Query your data in BigQuery or your favourite AI or BI tool.

Authenticating Merge

Authenticate with your Merge credentials. You provide:

Field	Description
Account Token	The account token for a linked account. Found in Linked Accounts in the Merge dashboard.
API Token	Your API token. Found at API Keys in the Merge dashboard.

Configuring the Merge connector

When you set up the connector, you provide:

Field	Description
Start Date	Any data before this date will not be fetched.

Tables and columns synced from Merge

How the Merge sync works

After the first load, Kaivo keeps your BigQuery warehouse up to date for you. Where Merge 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

How long does the initial sync take for Merge?

It depends on how much history is in your Merge 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?

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 Merge'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 Merge, 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.

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 Merge 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 Merge connector in Kaivo and all of its synced data is deleted with it.

Common use cases for Merge data

Recruiting funnel

Use candidates, applications, and job_interview_stages to track hiring conversion.
