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 Merge as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
  2. set up Google Sheets 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.

What is Merge

Merge is a puzzle game where players combine matching blocks to create new ones and clear the board. The game starts with simple blocks, but as players progress, they encounter more complex shapes and colors. The goal is to merge as many blocks as possible to earn points and advance to higher levels. The game also includes power-ups and special blocks that can help players clear the board more quickly. Merge is a fun and addictive game that challenges players to think strategically and quickly to achieve high scores.

Prerequisites

  1. A Merge account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
  2. A Google Sheets 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 Merge and Google Sheets, for seamless data migration.

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

Step 1: Set up Merge as a source connector

1. Go to the Airbyte website and sign up for an account.
2. Once you have signed up, log in to your account and click on the ""Sources"" tab.
3. Scroll down until you find the Merge source connector and click on it.
4. Click on the ""Create a new connection"" button.
5. Enter the required information for your Merge source, such as the database name, host, port, username, and password.
6. Test the connection to ensure that it is working properly.
7. If the connection is successful, click on the ""Save & Sync"" button to start syncing your data.
8. Choose the tables or views that you want to sync and set up any necessary configurations.
9. Once you have configured your sync, click on the ""Save & Sync"" button again to start syncing your data.
10. Monitor your sync to ensure that it is running smoothly and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.

  5. Select the data to sync: Choose the specific Merge objects you want to import data from towards Google Sheets. 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 Merge to Google Sheets according to your settings.

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

Use Cases to transfer your Merge data to Google Sheets

Integrating data from Merge to Google Sheets provides several benefits. Here are a few use cases:

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