How to load data from Yotpo to Google Sheets

Learn how to use Airbyte to synchronize your Yotpo data into Google Sheets 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 Yotpo 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 Yotpo

Prerequisites

  1. A Yotpo 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 Yotpo and Google Sheets, for seamless data migration.

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

Step 1: Set up Yotpo as a source connector

1. First, navigate to the Yotpo source connector on Airbyte's website.
2. Click on the ""Get Source"" button to download the connector.
3. Once downloaded, extract the files from the zipped folder.
4. Open the extracted folder and locate the ""config.json"" file.
5. Open the ""config.json"" file and enter your Yotpo API credentials.
6. Save the changes to the ""config.json"" file.
7. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where the connector files are located.
8. Run the command ""docker-compose up"" to start the connector.
9. Once the connector is running, navigate to the Airbyte UI in your web browser.
10. Click on ""Sources"" in the left-hand menu and then click ""New Source"".
11. Select ""Yotpo"" from the list of available sources.
12. Enter a name for the source and click ""Next"".
13. Enter the connection details for your Yotpo account, including your API credentials.
14. Test the connection to ensure that the source is properly connected.
15. Once the connection is successful, save the source and begin syncing data from Yotpo to your destination.

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.
6. You will be redirected to the Google Sheets authorization page. Sign in to your Google account if you haven't already.
7. Click on the "Allow" button to grant Airbyte access to your Google Sheets account.
8. You will be redirected back to the Airbyte website. Select the Google Sheets destination you just created from the list of destinations.
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 Yotpo data to Google Sheets

Once you've successfully connected Yotpo 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:

  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 Yotpo from the dropdown list of your configured sources.
  3. Select your destination: Choose Google Sheets 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 Yotpo 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 Yotpo 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 Yotpo data.

Use Cases to transfer your Yotpo data to Google Sheets

Integrating data from Yotpo 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 Yotpo data, extracting insights that wouldn't be possible within Yotpo alone.
  2. Data Consolidation: If you're using multiple other sources along with Yotpo, 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: Yotpo 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 Yotpo 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 Yotpo data.
  6. Data Science and Machine Learning: By having Yotpo 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 Yotpo 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 Yotpo 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:

  1. Configure a Yotpo account as an Airbyte data source connector.
  2. Configure Google Sheets as a data destination connector.
  3. Create an Airbyte data pipeline that will automatically be moving data directly from Yotpo to Google Sheets 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.
