Prerequisites

A Freshsales account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
A Snowflake 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 Freshsales and Snowflake destination, for seamless data migration.

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

Step 1: Set up Freshsales as a source connector

1. Open the Airbyte dashboard and click on "Sources" from the left-hand menu.
2. Click on the "New Source" button and select "Freshsales" from the list of available connectors.
3. Enter a name for your Freshsales source and click on "Next".
4. Enter your Freshsales API key and domain name in the respective fields. You can find your API key by logging into your Freshsales account and navigating to "Profile Settings" > "API Settings". Your domain name is the first part of your Freshsales URL (e.g. if your URL is "https://example.freshsales.io", your domain name is "example").
5. Click on "Test" to verify your credentials. If the test is successful, click on "Create" to save your Freshsales source.
6. You can now configure your Freshsales source by selecting the tables you want to replicate and setting up any relevant sync options.
7. Once you have configured your Freshsales source, click on "Create Connection" to set up a destination for your data.

Step 2: Set up Snowflake destination as a destination connector

1. First, navigate to the Airbyte website and log in to your account.

2. Once you are logged in, click on the "Destinations" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.

3. Scroll down until you find the Snowflake Data Cloud destination connector and click on it.

4. You will be prompted to enter your Snowflake account information, including your account name, username, and password.

5. After entering your account information, click on the "Test" button to ensure that the connection is successful.

6. If the test is successful, click on the "Save" button to save your Snowflake Data Cloud destination connector settings.

7. You can now use the Snowflake Data Cloud destination connector to transfer data from your Airbyte sources to your Snowflake account.

8. To set up a data transfer, navigate to the "Sources" tab on the left-hand side of the screen and select the source you want to transfer data from.

9. Click on the "Create New Connection" button and select the Snowflake Data Cloud destination connector as your destination.

10. Follow the prompts to set up your data transfer, including selecting the tables or data sources you want to transfer and setting up any necessary transformations or mappings.

11. Once you have set up your data transfer, click on the "Run" button to start the transfer process.

Step 3: Set up a connection to sync your Freshsales data to Snowflake destination

Once you've successfully connected Freshsales as a data source and Snowflake 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 Freshsales from the dropdown list of your configured sources.
Select your destination: Choose Snowflake 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 Freshsales objects you want to import data from towards Snowflake 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 Freshsales to Snowflake destination according to your settings.

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

Use Cases to transfer your Freshsales data to Snowflake destination

Integrating data from Freshsales to Snowflake destination provides several benefits. Here are a few use cases:

Advanced Analytics: Snowflake destination’s powerful data processing capabilities enable you to perform complex queries and data analysis on your Freshsales data, extracting insights that wouldn't be possible within Freshsales alone.
Data Consolidation: If you're using multiple other sources along with Freshsales, syncing to Snowflake destination allows you to centralize your data for a holistic view of your operations, and to set up a change data capture process so you never have any discrepancies in your data again.
Historical Data Analysis: Freshsales has limits on historical data. Syncing data to Snowflake destination allows for long-term data retention and analysis of historical trends over time.
Data Security and Compliance: Snowflake destination provides robust data security features. Syncing Freshsales data to Snowflake destination ensures your data is secured and allows for advanced data governance and compliance management.
Scalability: Snowflake destination can handle large volumes of data without affecting performance, providing an ideal solution for growing businesses with expanding Freshsales data.
Data Science and Machine Learning: By having Freshsales data in Snowflake destination, you can apply machine learning models to your data for predictive analytics, customer segmentation, and more.
Reporting and Visualization: While Freshsales provides reporting tools, data visualization tools like Tableau, PowerBI, Looker (Google Data Studio) can connect to Snowflake destination, providing more advanced business intelligence options. If you have a Freshsales table that needs to be converted to a Snowflake destination table, Airbyte can do that automatically.

Wrapping Up

To summarize, this tutorial has shown you how to:

Configure a Freshsales 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 Freshsales?

What data can you extract from Freshsales?

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

1. Contacts: Information about individual contacts, including their name, email address, phone number, and job title.
2. Accounts: Information about companies or organizations, including their name, address, and industry.
3. Deals: Information about sales deals, including the deal amount, stage, and expected close date.
4. Activities: Information about activities related to sales and customer interactions, including calls, emails, and meetings.
5. Notes: Information about notes and comments related to contacts, accounts, and deals.
6. Tasks: Information about tasks related to sales and customer interactions, including due dates and priorities.
7. Custom fields: Information about custom fields that can be added to contacts, accounts, and deals to capture additional data.
8. Reports: Information about reports generated from the data in Freshsales, including sales performance reports and pipeline reports.

Overall, Freshsales'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 Freshsales?

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 Freshsales 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 Freshsales 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.

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.
