How to Sync Close.com to Snowflake destination Manually

Begin by exporting the data you need from your Close account. Log in to Close, navigate to the relevant section (such as Leads, Contacts, or Activities), and use the export feature to download your data as a CSV file. Ensure you have the necessary permissions to export data.

Once you have downloaded the CSV file(s), open them using a spreadsheet application like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. Clean and format the data as needed, ensuring that the column headers and data types align with what you plan to import into Snowflake. Remove any unnecessary columns and ensure that the data is free of errors or discrepancies.

Log into your Snowflake account and set up the environment for data import. This involves creating the necessary database, schema, and tables that will store the imported data. Define the table structures based on the columns and data types present in your CSV files.

Create an internal stage in Snowflake to temporarily store the CSV files before loading them into tables. Use the following SQL command in Snowflake:
```sql
CREATE STAGE my_stage
FILE_FORMAT = (TYPE = 'CSV' FIELD_OPTIONALLY_ENCLOSED_BY = '"');
```
This ensures that the CSV files are correctly recognized and processed by Snowflake.

Use the Snowflake web interface or a command-line tool like SnowSQL to upload your CSV files to the stage you created. If using SnowSQL, the command would be:
```shell
snowsql -q "PUT file://path/to/your/file.csv @my_stage"
```
Replace `path/to/your/file.csv` with the actual path to your CSV file.

With the CSV files in the stage, you can now load them into the relevant tables in your Snowflake database. Use the `COPY INTO` command as shown below:
```sql
COPY INTO my_database.my_schema.my_table
FROM @my_stage/file.csv
FILE_FORMAT = (TYPE = 'CSV' FIELD_OPTIONALLY_ENCLOSED_BY = '"');
```
Ensure that the table names and file paths match your setup.

After loading the data, verify its integrity by running queries to check for completeness and accuracy. Compare a sample of the imported data against the original CSV files to ensure that no data was lost or altered during the import process. Make any necessary adjustments by re-importing specific data, if needed.

By following these steps, you can successfully move your data from Close to Snowflake without using third-party connectors or integrations.

FAQs

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.

Close is the inside sales CRM of choice for startups and SMBs. Make more calls, send more emails and close more deals starting today. Close is the sales engagement CRM designed to assist SMBs to turn more leads into revenue. With Close, you can email, call, and text your leads without adding any additional features. Power Dialer and task reminders help you follow up more frequently and reach more leads.

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.

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 Snowflake Data Cloud 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 Snowflake Data Cloud and how frequently
You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud. 

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.

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.
