Prerequisites

A Close.com account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
A Postgres destination account.
An active Airbyte Cloud account, or you can also choose to use Airbyte Open Source locally. You can follow the instructions to set up Airbyte on your system using docker-compose.

Airbyte is an open-source data integration platform that consolidates and streamlines the process of extracting and loading data from multiple data sources to data warehouses. It offers pre-built connectors, including Close.com and Postgres destination, for seamless data migration.

When using Airbyte to move data from Close.com to Postgres destination, it extracts data from Close.com using the source connector, converts it into a format Postgres destination can ingest using the provided schema, and then loads it into Postgres destination via the destination connector. This allows businesses to leverage their Close.com data for advanced analytics and insights within Postgres destination, simplifying the ETL process and saving significant time and resources.

Step 1: Set up Close.com as a source connector

1. Open the Airbyte platform and navigate to the "Sources" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Click on the "Close.com" source connector and select "Create new connection."
3. Enter a name for the connection and click "Next."
4. Enter your Close.com API key and API secret in the appropriate fields.
5. Click "Test" to ensure that the connection is successful.
6. If the test is successful, click "Next" to proceed to the next step.
7. Select the tables you want to replicate from Close.com.
8. Choose the replication frequency and the initial replication start date.
9. Click "Create connection" to finalize the setup.

Once the connection is created, Airbyte will begin replicating data from Close.com according to the specified settings. You can monitor the progress of the replication in the "Connections" tab on the Airbyte platform. If you need to make changes to the connection settings, you can do so by clicking on the connection and selecting "Edit."

Step 2: Set up Postgres destination as a destination connector

Step 3: Set up a connection to sync your Close.com data to Postgres destination

Once you've successfully connected Close.com as a data source and Postgres destination as a destination in Airbyte, you can set up a data pipeline between them with the following steps:

Create a new connection: On the Airbyte dashboard, navigate to the 'Connections' tab and click the '+ New Connection' button.
Choose your source: Select Close.com from the dropdown list of your configured sources.
Select your destination: Choose Postgres destination from the dropdown list of your configured destinations.
Configure your sync: Define the frequency of your data syncs based on your business needs. Airbyte allows both manual and automatic scheduling for your data refreshes.
Select the data to sync: Choose the specific Close.com objects you want to import data from towards Postgres destination. You can sync all data or select specific tables and fields.
Select the sync mode for your streams: Choose between full refreshes or incremental syncs (with deduplication if you want), and this for all streams or at the stream level. Incremental is only available for streams that have a primary cursor.
Test your connection: Click the 'Test Connection' button to make sure that your setup works. If the connection test is successful, save your configuration.
Start the sync: If the test passes, click 'Set Up Connection'. Airbyte will start moving data from Close.com to Postgres destination according to your settings.

Remember, Airbyte keeps your data in sync at the frequency you determine, ensuring your Postgres destination data warehouse is always up-to-date with your Close.com data.

Use Cases to transfer your Close.com data to Postgres destination

Integrating data from Close.com to Postgres destination provides several benefits. Here are a few use cases:

Advanced Analytics: Postgres destination’s powerful data processing capabilities enable you to perform complex queries and data analysis on your Close.com data, extracting insights that wouldn't be possible within Close.com alone.

Historical Data Analysis: Close.com has limits on historical data. Syncing data to Postgres destination allows for long-term data retention and analysis of historical trends over time.
Data Security and Compliance: Postgres destination provides robust data security features. Syncing Close.com data to Postgres destination ensures your data is secured and allows for advanced data governance and compliance management.
Scalability: Postgres destination can handle large volumes of data without affecting performance, providing an ideal solution for growing businesses with expanding Close.com data.
Data Science and Machine Learning: By having Close.com data in Postgres destination, you can apply machine learning models to your data for predictive analytics, customer segmentation, and more.
Reporting and Visualization: While Close.com provides reporting tools, data visualization tools like Tableau, PowerBI, Looker (Google Data Studio) can connect to Postgres destination, providing more advanced business intelligence options. If you have a Close.com table that needs to be converted to a Postgres destination table, Airbyte can do that automatically.

Wrapping Up

To summarize, this tutorial has shown you how to:

Configure a Close.com account as an Airbyte data source connector.

FAQs

What is ETL?

ETL, an acronym for Extract, Transform, Load, is a vital data integration process. It involves extracting data from diverse sources, transforming it into a usable format, and loading it into a database, data warehouse or data lake. This process enables meaningful data analysis, enhancing business intelligence.

What is Close.com?

What data can you extract from Close.com?

Close.com's API provides access to a wide range of data related to sales and customer relationship management. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through Close.com's API:

1. Contacts: This includes information about individual contacts such as name, email address, phone number, and company.
2. Leads: This includes information about potential customers who have shown interest in a product or service, including their contact information and any interactions they have had with the company.
3. Opportunities: This includes information about potential sales opportunities, including the value of the opportunity, the stage of the sales process, and any associated contacts or leads.
4. Activities: This includes information about any activities related to sales or customer relationship management, such as calls, emails, and meetings.
5. Tasks: This includes information about tasks that need to be completed, such as follow-up calls or emails.
6. Custom Fields: This includes any custom fields that have been created to store additional information about contacts, leads, or opportunities.

Overall, Close.com's API provides access to a comprehensive set of data that can be used to improve sales and customer relationship management processes.

How do I transfer data from Close.com?

This can be done by building a data pipeline manually, usually a Python script (you can leverage a tool as Apache Airflow for this). This process can take more than a full week of development. Or it can be done in minutes on Airbyte in three easy steps:
1. Set up Close.com to PostgreSQL as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
2. Choose a destination (more than 50 available destination databases, data warehouses or lakes) to sync data too and set it up as a destination connector
3. Define which data you want to transfer from Close.com to PostgreSQL and how frequently
You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud.

What is ELT?

ELT, standing for Extract, Load, Transform, is a modern take on the traditional ETL data integration process. In ELT, data is first extracted from various sources, loaded directly into a data warehouse, and then transformed. This approach enhances data processing speed, analytical flexibility and autonomy.

Difference between ETL and ELT?

ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data. In contrast, ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads data before transformation, perfect for processing large, diverse data sets in modern data warehouses. ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.
