How to load data from HubSpot to Oracle

Learn how to use Airbyte to synchronize your HubSpot data into Oracle within minutes.

TL;DR

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 HubSpot as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
  2. set up Oracle as a destination connector
  3. define which data you want to transfer and how frequently

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

This tutorial’s purpose is to show you how.

Prerequisites

  1. A HubSpot account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
  2. A Oracle account.
  3. 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 HubSpot and Oracle, for seamless data migration.

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

Step 1: Set up HubSpot as a source connector

1. First, navigate to the HubSpot source connector page on Airbyte's website.

2. Click on the "Add Source" button to begin the process of adding your HubSpot credentials.

3. Enter a name for your HubSpot source connector and click on the "Next" button.

4. You will be prompted to enter your HubSpot API key. To obtain your API key, log in to your HubSpot account and navigate to the "Settings" page. From there, click on "Integrations" and then "API key." Copy the API key and paste it into the Airbyte connector page.

5. Next, select the HubSpot objects you want to replicate. You can choose from contacts, companies, deals, and more.

6. Once you have selected the objects you want to replicate, click on the "Test" button to ensure that your credentials are working properly.

7. If the test is successful, click on the "Create Source" button to finalize the process.

8. Your HubSpot source connector is now set up and ready to use. You can begin replicating data from your HubSpot account to your destination of choice.

Step 2: Set up Oracle as a destination connector

1. First, ensure that you have the necessary credentials to access your Oracle DB. This includes the hostname, port number, database name, username, and password.
2. Open the Airbyte platform and navigate to the "Destinations" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
3. Scroll down until you find the "Oracle DB" destination connector and click on it.
4. Click on the "Create new connection" button to begin setting up your Oracle DB destination.
5. Enter a name for your connection and fill in the required fields with your Oracle DB credentials.
6. Test the connection to ensure that Airbyte can successfully connect to your Oracle DB.
7. Once the connection is successful, you can configure the settings for your Oracle DB destination. This includes selecting the tables you want to sync, setting up any transformations or mappings, and scheduling the sync frequency.
8. Save your settings and start the sync process. Airbyte will begin pulling data from your source and pushing it to your Oracle DB destination.
9. Monitor the sync process to ensure that it is running smoothly and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
10. Once the sync is complete, you can access your data in your Oracle DB and use it for analysis, reporting, or any other purposes.

Step 3: Set up a connection to sync your HubSpot data to Oracle

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

  1. Create a new connection: On the Airbyte dashboard, navigate to the 'Connections' tab and click the '+ New Connection' button.
  2. Choose your source: Select HubSpot from the dropdown list of your configured sources.
  3. Select your destination: Choose Oracle from the dropdown list of your configured destinations.
  4. 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.
  5. Select the data to sync: Choose the specific HubSpot objects you want to import data from towards Oracle. You can sync all data or select specific tables and fields.
  6. 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.
  7. Test your connection: Click the 'Test Connection' button to make sure that your setup works. If the connection test is successful, save your configuration.
  8. Start the sync: If the test passes, click 'Set Up Connection'. Airbyte will start moving data from HubSpot to Oracle according to your settings.

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

Use Cases to transfer your HubSpot data to Oracle

Integrating data from HubSpot to Oracle provides several benefits. Here are a few use cases:

  1. Advanced Analytics: Oracle’s powerful data processing capabilities enable you to perform complex queries and data analysis on your HubSpot data, extracting insights that wouldn't be possible within HubSpot alone.
  2. Data Consolidation: If you're using multiple other sources along with HubSpot, syncing to Oracle 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.
  3. Historical Data Analysis: HubSpot has limits on historical data. Syncing data to Oracle allows for long-term data retention and analysis of historical trends over time.
  4. Data Security and Compliance: Oracle provides robust data security features. Syncing HubSpot data to Oracle ensures your data is secured and allows for advanced data governance and compliance management.
  5. Scalability: Oracle can handle large volumes of data without affecting performance, providing an ideal solution for growing businesses with expanding HubSpot data.
  6. Data Science and Machine Learning: By having HubSpot data in Oracle, you can apply machine learning models to your data for predictive analytics, customer segmentation, and more.
  7. Reporting and Visualization: While HubSpot provides reporting tools, data visualization tools like Tableau, PowerBI, Looker (Google Data Studio) can connect to Oracle, providing more advanced business intelligence options. If you have a HubSpot table that needs to be converted to a Oracle table, Airbyte can do that automatically.

Wrapping Up

To summarize, this tutorial has shown you how to:

  1. Configure a HubSpot account as an Airbyte data source connector.
  2. Configure Oracle as a data destination connector.
  3. Create an Airbyte data pipeline that will automatically be moving data directly from HubSpot to Oracle after you set a schedule

With Airbyte, creating data pipelines take minutes, and the data integration possibilities are endless. Airbyte supports the largest catalog of API tools, databases, and files, among other sources. Airbyte's connectors are open-source, so you can add any custom objects to the connector, or even build a new connector from scratch without any local dev environment or any data engineer within 10 minutes with the no-code connector builder.
