AirbyteTriggerSyncOperator
==========================

Use the :class:`~airflow.providers.airbyte.operators.AirbyteTriggerSyncOperator` to
trigger an existing ConnectionId sync job in Airbyte.

.. warning::
  This operator triggers a synchronization job in Airbyte.
  If triggered again, this operator does not guarantee idempotency.
  You must be aware of the source (database, API, etc) you are updating/sync and
  the method applied to perform the operation in Airbyte.


Using the Operator
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The AirbyteTriggerSyncOperator requires the ``connection_id`` this is the uuid identifier
create in Airbyte between a source and destination synchronization job.
Use the ``airbyte_conn_id`` parameter to specify the Airbyte connection to use to
connect to your account.

You can trigger a synchronization job in Airflow in two ways with the Operator. The first one
is a synchronous process. This will trigger the Airbyte job and the Operator manage the status
of the job. Another way is use the flag ``async = True`` so the Operator only trigger the job and
return the ``job_id`` that should be pass to the AirbyteSensor.

An example using the synchronous way:

.. exampleinclude:: /../../airflow/providers/airbyte/example_dags/example_airbyte_trigger_job.py
    :language: python
    :start-after: [START howto_operator_airbyte_synchronous]
    :end-before: [END howto_operator_airbyte_synchronous]

An example using the async way:

.. exampleinclude:: /../../airflow/providers/airbyte/example_dags/example_airbyte_trigger_job.py
    :language: python
    :start-after: [START howto_operator_airbyte_asynchronous]
    :end-before: [END howto_operator_airbyte_asynchronous]
