Modifying a Pipeline

Last updated on Jun 10, 2026

Some Pipeline settings and Source and Destination settings can be modified even after Pipeline creation. For example, you can:

  • Change the Pipeline schedule. Read Scheduling a Pipeline. These changes take effect on the next run of the Pipeline.

  • Change object-level settings to include or skip the objects, pause or restart the historical load, or change the position of the last ingested Event, from the Pipeline Overview page. These changes take effect immediately.

  • Modify the Source and Destination configuration. Read Modifying the Source and Destination Configuration. Hevo uses the new configuration to connect to the Source or Destination in the next ingestion or load cycle respectively.


Prerequisites


Modifying the Source and Destination Configuration

You can modify only some of the Source and Destination settings. The settings that cannot be modified are disabled.

Note: If a Pipeline uses OAuth-based authentication during Source creation, only the user whose email address is associated with the OAuth token can edit the Source configuration. If you need to edit the configuration and are not the original OAuth user, reauthorize the account using your credentials.

  1. Do one of the following:

  2. In the hover window that appears, click the Edit ( Edit icon ) icon.

  3. On the Edit Connection Settings page for your Source or Destination, modify the required settings.

    If you do not want to proceed with making the changes, click the Go Back button at the top left to return to the Pipelines Detailed View or the Destinations Detailed View.

  4. Save the modified configuration.

    • To save the modified Source configuration, click Save.

    • To save the modified Destination configuration, click Test Connection. Once the test is successful, click Save & Continue.
