You can now add multiple destinations to your Stitch account! In this guide, you will learn everything you need to know on how to fully utilize this feature. Before selecting destinations, we recommend reading our guide on how to choose a destination to ensure you’re making the decision that best suits your data warehousing needs.

Multiple Destination basics

What are multiple destinations?

This feature allows you to load data from your integrations into more than one destination in your Stitch account.

How can I use multiple destinations?

You have multiple environments. You may want to ensure you have clean data. To do this you can house your quality assurance and production environments in the same Stitch account instead of having to maintain two unique warehouses to ingest data from each other.

You want to separate your raw data ingestion from your transformed data ingestion. You can use multiple destinations in your Stitch to load raw data from integrations into a data lake for transformation, then load your transformed data into a separate warehouse.

Who can use multiple destinations?

Clients on a Stitch Advanced or Premium plan can use this feature.

How many destinations can I have?

The default limit is 3 destinations per Stitch Advanced account, and five destinations per Stitch Premium account. To increase this limit, you must pay an add-on per additional destination. Stitch can support up to 10 destinations per account.

Can I send data from one integration to multiple destinations?

You can’t connect a single integration to multiple destinations, but you can create multiple integrations for the same data source and connect them to different destinations. The easiest way to do this is to use the connection cloning feature:

  1. Create a first integration and connect it to a destination.
  2. Follow the instructions in the connection cloning documentation to clone the integration and select a different destination.

What happens to my other destinations if I downgrade my plan?

Stitch will place a hold on your account if your destination count is higher than your destination limit. When a hold is placed or lifted, you will receive an email from Stitch notifying you of the changes.

What happens when I delete a destination?

When you delete a destination, two things will happen. All post-load webhooks linked to the deleted destination will also be deleted. You will have to re-add them again if you still would like to use them in your other destinations. You will also have to choose if all data sources mapped to the deleted destination will be paused for replication or deleted. To continue replication of data, you must go back into the integration setup and re-map to where the data will be loaded.
