Building your pipeline or Using Airbyte

Airbyte is the only open source solution empowering data teams  to meet all their growing custom business demands in the new AI era.

Building in-house pipelines
Bespoke pipelines are:
  • Inconsistent and inaccurate data
  • Laborious and expensive
  • Brittle and inflexible
Furthermore, you will need to build and maintain Y x Z pipelines with Y sources and Z destinations to cover all your needs.
After Airbyte
Airbyte connections are:
  • Reliable and accurate
  • Extensible and scalable for all your needs
  • Deployed and governed your way
All your pipelines in minutes, however custom they are, thanks to Airbyte’s connector marketplace and AI Connector Builder.

How to Sync to Manually

Step 1: Export Data from SurveyCTO

Begin by logging into your SurveyCTO account. Navigate to the "Export" section where you can download your survey data. Choose the export format that suits your needs, typically CSV or Excel. Ensure that your data is clean and ready for upload by checking for any inconsistencies or errors.

Once you've downloaded the data, open it in a spreadsheet application like Excel or Google Sheets. Ensure that your column headers are correctly named, and data types are consistent. Convert all data types to suit BigQuery requirements, such as integers for numeric fields and strings for text fields.

After cleaning and preparing your data, save the file in CSV format. This is important because BigQuery can easily ingest CSV files. Ensure the file is saved with UTF-8 encoding to avoid any character encoding issues during the upload process.

Log into your Google Cloud Platform account. If you haven't already, create a new project where your BigQuery dataset will reside. Navigate to the BigQuery console and create a new dataset within your project to organize your tables and data.

Before importing the CSV into BigQuery, upload it to Google Cloud Storage (GCS). In the GCP console, create a new bucket (or use an existing one) and upload your CSV file. This step facilitates the data transfer into BigQuery.

Go to the BigQuery console and select your dataset. Click on "Create Table" and choose the "Google Cloud Storage" option as the source. Specify the GCS path to your CSV file, and configure the schema either manually or automatically. Ensure all settings align with your data types and formats.

After the data load process completes, verify the integrity of the data by running queries in the BigQuery console. Check for correct data types, completeness, and accuracy. Once verified, you can start integrating this data into your analytics workflows or dashboards.

Following these steps will help you move data from SurveyCTO to BigQuery without relying on third-party connectors or integrations, while ensuring data integrity and accessibility.
