Omnata Sync
What Omnata Sync is
Omnata Sync connects Snowflake with SaaS applications and databases through a Snowflake Native App. It supports inbound and outbound scheduled syncs, and can sync in both directions when a connector allows it. The product lists no-code configuration, incremental syncs, rate-limit optimisation and a history of record changes. Its Streamlit administration interface runs on a warehouse selected by the customer.
The connector catalog includes Airtable, HubSpot, Jira, Salesforce, Shopify, Slack, Zendesk and Zoho CRM, along with database connectors. Omnata also offers a Python plugin SDK for building connectors with open-source connector libraries or custom APIs. Each customer has a dedicated app instance in their Snowflake account. Configuration, sync history and record data are stored in tables within that instance. The app starts without access to customer tables or objects; permissions are granted during configuration, and some account-level permissions require approval gates. Omnata identifies the maker as Omnata Pty Ltd, founded in Australia. The Sync Engine and plugins are available through Snowflake Marketplace with a 30-day free trial. Plugin charges are based on active sync directions and endpoint connections, with no additional charges for data, objects or refreshes.

Omnata Sync suits Snowflake customers who need scheduled data movement between Snowflake and SaaS apps or databases for analytics and downstream use. It is also suited to teams that want to build custom connectors with Python, open-source connector libraries or custom APIs.
