Do one of the following:

After you configure the Source during Pipeline creation, click ADD DESTINATION.
Click DESTINATIONS in the Asset Palette, and then, in the Destinations List View, click + CREATE.

In the Add Destination page, select PostgreSQL.

Alternatively, use the Search Destination Type search box to search for the Destination.

Specify the following settings in the Configure your PostgreSQL Destination page:

Additional Settings:
- Connect through SSH: Enable this option to connect to Hevo using an SSH tunnel. Read Connecting Through SSH. Else, whitelist Hevo’s IP addresses for your region.
- Sanitize Table/Column Names?: Enable this option to remove all non-alphanumeric characters, spaces in between the table and column names and replace them with an underscore (_). Read Name Sanitization.
