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:

set up Rocket.chat as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
set up Google Sheets as a destination connector
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

A Rocket.chat account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
A Google Sheets 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 Rocket.chat and Google Sheets, for seamless data migration.

When using Airbyte to move data from Rocket.chat to Google Sheets, it extracts data from Rocket.chat 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 Rocket.chat data for advanced analytics and insights within Google Sheets, simplifying the ETL process and saving significant time and resources.

Step 1: Set up Rocket.chat as a source connector

1. First, you need to obtain the necessary credentials to connect your Rocket.chat source connector. This includes the server URL, username, and password.
2. Once you have the credentials, log in to your Rocket.chat account and navigate to the Administration panel.
3. In the Administration panel, click on the Integrations tab and select the Incoming Webhooks option.
4. Create a new Incoming Webhook by clicking on the New Integration button and filling out the necessary information.
5. After creating the Incoming Webhook, copy the Webhook URL provided by Rocket.chat.
6. Now, go to your Airbyte dashboard and click on the Sources tab.
7. Click on the Add Source button and select the Rocket.chat source connector.
8. In the Rocket.chat source connector configuration page, paste the Webhook URL you copied earlier into the Webhook URL field.
9. Enter your Rocket.chat username and password in the appropriate fields.
10. Click on the Test button to ensure that the connection is successful.
11. If the test is successful, click on the Save button to save the configuration.
12. Your Rocket.chat source connector is now connected to Airbyte and ready to be used for data integration.

Step 2: Set up Google Sheets as a destination connector

1. Go to the Airbyte website and log in to your account.
2. Click on the "Destinations" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
3. Scroll down until you find the "Google Sheets" destination connector and click on it.
4. Click on the "Create Destination" button.
5. Enter a name for your destination and click on the "Create" button.

9. Enter the name of the spreadsheet you want to use as your destination and select the worksheet you want to use.
10. Click on the "Test" button to make sure the connection is working properly.
11. If the test is successful, click on the "Save" button to save your destination settings.
12. You can now use the Google Sheets destination connector to transfer data from your source to your Google Sheets destination.

Step 3: Set up a connection to sync your Rocket.chat data to Google Sheets

Once you've successfully connected Rocket.chat as a data source and Google Sheets 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 Rocket.chat from the dropdown list of your configured sources.
Select your destination: Choose Google Sheets 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 Rocket.chat objects you want to import data from towards Google Sheets. 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 Rocket.chat 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 Rocket.chat data.

Use Cases to transfer your Rocket.chat data to Google Sheets

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

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

Wrapping Up

To summarize, this tutorial has shown you how to:

Configure a Rocket.chat account as an Airbyte data source connector.
Configure Google Sheets as a data destination connector.
