Prerequisites

A Pendo account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
A Typesense 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 Pendo and Typesense, for seamless data migration.

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

Step 1: Set up Pendo as a source connector

1. First, navigate to the Pendo source connector on Airbyte's website.
2. Click on the ""Get Started"" button to begin the setup process.
3. Enter your Pendo API key in the designated field. If you don't have an API key, you can generate one in your Pendo account settings.
4. Next, select the data you want to sync from Pendo. You can choose from a variety of options, including events, users, and accounts.
5. Configure any additional settings, such as the frequency of data syncing and the destination for the data.
6. Test the connection to ensure that the data is being synced correctly.
7. Once you're satisfied with the setup, save your configuration and start syncing data from Pendo to your desired destination.

Step 2: Set up Typesense 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 Typesense destination connector and click on it.
4. You will be prompted to enter your Typesense API key. Enter this information and click "Test Connection" to ensure that the connection is successful.
5. If the connection is successful, click "Save" to save your Typesense destination connector settings.
6. Next, navigate to the "Sources" tab on the left-hand side of the screen and select the source that you want to connect to your Typesense destination.
7. Follow the prompts to enter the necessary information for your source connector, such as the API key or database credentials.
8. Once you have entered all of the necessary information, click "Test Connection" to ensure that the connection is successful.
9. If the connection is successful, click "Save" to save your source connector settings.
10. Finally, click on the "Sync" tab on the left-hand side of the screen and select the source and destination connectors that you want to use for your data sync.
11. Follow the prompts to set up your data sync, such as selecting the tables or data types that you want to sync.
12. Once you have completed all of the necessary steps, click "Start Sync" to begin syncing your data between your source and Typesense destination connectors.

Step 3: Set up a connection to sync your Pendo data to Typesense

Once you've successfully connected Pendo as a data source and Typesense 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 Pendo from the dropdown list of your configured sources.
Select your destination: Choose Typesense from the dropdown list of your configured destinations.

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 Pendo?

What data can you extract from Pendo?

Pendo's API provides access to a wide range of data related to user behavior and product usage. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through Pendo's API:

1. User data: This includes information about individual users such as their name, email address, and user ID.

2. Product data: This includes information about the product being used, such as the product name, version, and features.

3. Usage data: This includes information about how users are interacting with the product, such as which features they are using, how often they are using them, and how long they are spending on each feature.

4. Engagement data: This includes information about how engaged users are with the product, such as how frequently they are logging in, how often they are completing certain actions, and how long they are spending in the product.

5. Feedback data: This includes information about user feedback, such as ratings, reviews, and comments.

6. Conversion data: This includes information about how users are converting, such as how many users are signing up, how many are upgrading to paid plans, and how many are churning.

How do I transfer data from Pendo?

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 Pendo to Typesense 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 Pendo to Typesense 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.
