Triggering connectors

Whenever you want to see a catalog sync being performed besides the configured periodic runs, you can manually trigger connectors using the Connect CLI.

To do so, you can use the trigger-catalog-sync command. It will prompt you to confirm which connector you want to run and perform the action for you:

npm run trigger-catalog-sync

Triggering file based connectors

One limitation to keep in mind is that the trigger-catalog-sync will not work on file based connectors (e.g. the Omni Connector), as for those you'll need a file to run the connector with.

If you rely on a file based connector on your integration and want to trigger a catalog sync, the recommended approach is simply re-uploading the file you want to be ingested.
