Prerequisites

A Zendesk Talk account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
A Oracle 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 Zendesk Talk and Oracle, for seamless data migration.

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

Step 1: Set up Zendesk Talk as a source connector

1. First, you need to obtain your Zendesk Talk API credentials. You can do this by logging in to your Zendesk account and navigating to the Admin settings. From there, select the API option and generate a new API token. Make sure to copy the token as you will need it later.
2. Next, open the Airbyte platform and navigate to the Sources tab. Click on the "Create a new Source" button and select the Zendesk Talk connector from the list of available connectors.
3. In the configuration page, you will be prompted to enter your Zendesk Talk API credentials. Paste the API token you copied earlier into the appropriate field.
4. You will also need to enter the subdomain of your Zendesk account. This is the part of your Zendesk URL that comes before ".zendesk.com". For example, if your Zendesk URL is "https://example.zendesk.com", your subdomain would be "example".
5. Once you have entered your credentials, click on the "Check Connection" button to ensure that Airbyte can successfully connect to your Zendesk Talk account.
6. If the connection is successful, you can proceed to configure the specific data you want to sync from Zendesk Talk to Airbyte. This can include call logs, recordings, and other relevant data.
7. Finally, save your configuration and run your first sync to start pulling data from Zendesk Talk into Airbyte. You can schedule regular syncs to keep your data up-to-date and ensure that your analytics and reporting are accurate.

Step 2: Set up Oracle as a destination connector

1. First, ensure that you have the necessary credentials to access your Oracle DB. This includes the hostname, port number, database name, username, and password.
2. Open the Airbyte platform and navigate to the "Destinations" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
3. Scroll down until you find the "Oracle DB" destination connector and click on it.
4. Click on the "Create new connection" button to begin setting up your Oracle DB destination.
5. Enter a name for your connection and fill in the required fields with your Oracle DB credentials.
6. Test the connection to ensure that Airbyte can successfully connect to your Oracle DB.
7. Once the connection is successful, you can configure the settings for your Oracle DB destination. This includes selecting the tables you want to sync, setting up any transformations or mappings, and scheduling the sync frequency.
8. Save your settings and start the sync process. Airbyte will begin pulling data from your source and pushing it to your Oracle DB destination.
9. Monitor the sync process to ensure that it is running smoothly and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
10. Once the sync is complete, you can access your data in your Oracle DB and use it for analysis, reporting, or any other purposes.

Step 3: Set up a connection to sync your Zendesk Talk data to Oracle

Once you've successfully connected Zendesk Talk as a data source and Oracle 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 Zendesk Talk from the dropdown list of your configured sources.
Select your destination: Choose Oracle 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 Zendesk Talk objects you want to import data from towards Oracle. 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 Zendesk Talk to Oracle according to your settings.

Remember, Airbyte keeps your data in sync at the frequency you determine, ensuring your Oracle data warehouse is always up-to-date with your Zendesk Talk data.

Use Cases to transfer your Zendesk Talk data to Oracle

Integrating data from Zendesk Talk to Oracle provides several benefits. Here are a few use cases:

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

Wrapping Up

To summarize, this tutorial has shown you how to:

Configure a Zendesk Talk account as an Airbyte data source connector.

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 Zendesk Talk?

What data can you extract from Zendesk Talk?

Zendesk Talk's API provides access to various types of data related to customer support and communication. The categories of data that can be accessed through the API are:

1. Call data: This includes information about incoming and outgoing calls, such as call duration, call recordings, and call transcripts.
2. Agent data: This includes information about agents, such as their availability, status, and performance metrics.
3. Ticket data: This includes information about support tickets, such as ticket status, priority, and customer information.
4. Voicemail data: This includes information about voicemails, such as voicemail transcripts and recordings.
5. Queue data: This includes information about call queues, such as queue status, wait times, and queue metrics.
6. Call routing data: This includes information about call routing, such as routing rules, routing history, and routing performance metrics.
7. IVR data: This includes information about IVR (Interactive Voice Response) systems, such as IVR menus, IVR prompts, and IVR performance metrics.

Overall, Zendesk Talk's API provides a comprehensive set of data that can be used to analyze and improve customer support and communication processes.

How do I transfer data from Zendesk Talk?

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 Zendesk Talk to Oracle DB 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 Zendesk Talk to Oracle DB 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.
