  • 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.

Start syncing with Airbyte in 3 easy steps within 10 minutes

Set up a Zenloop connector in Airbyte

Connect to Zenloop or one of 400+ pre-built or 10,000+ custom connectors through simple account authentication.

Set up Kafka for your extracted Zenloop data

Select Kafka where you want to import data from your Zenloop source to. You can also choose other cloud data warehouses, databases, data lakes, vector databases, or any other supported Airbyte destinations.

Configure the Zenloop to Kafka in Airbyte

This includes selecting the data you want to extract - streams and columns -, the sync frequency, where in the destination you want that data to be loaded.

How to Sync Zenloop to Kafka Manually

Begin by reviewing Zenloop’s API documentation. You need to understand the endpoints provided for data extraction, the required authentication methods, and the structure of the data you will be working with. Familiarize yourself with the API's capabilities, such as retrieving survey responses or feedback data, which you plan to move to Kafka.

Ensure that you have a running Apache Kafka cluster. You can install Kafka locally on your machine or set it up on a server. Follow Kafka’s official documentation to correctly configure your broker, and ensure that Zookeeper is also running, as Kafka relies on it for coordination.

Create a Kafka topic where the data from Zenloop will be published. Use the Kafka command-line tools to create a new topic by specifying the desired name, number of partitions, and replication factor. This topic will serve as the endpoint for your incoming Zenloop data.

Write a script in a language like Python or Java to interact with Zenloop’s API. This script should handle authentication and make requests to the API to fetch the required data. Use libraries like `requests` in Python or `HttpClient` in Java to facilitate API calls. Ensure that the script can handle pagination and response parsing to manage large datasets efficiently.

Once you have retrieved data from Zenloop, process and serialize it into a format suitable for Kafka. Typically, JSON or Avro formats are used for Kafka messages. Ensure any necessary transformations are applied to match the data structure expected by the Kafka consumers.

Integrate a Kafka producer in your script to send the processed data to your Kafka topic. Use Kafka client libraries like `kafka-python` for Python or the `KafkaProducer` class from the `org.apache.kafka.clients.producer` package in Java. Configure the producer with the necessary properties such as Kafka broker addresses and topic name, then send the serialized data as messages to the topic.

Implement logging and error-handling mechanisms in your script to monitor the data pipeline’s performance and health. Regularly check the Kafka cluster’s status to ensure data is being produced correctly and efficiently. Adjust configurations as needed for optimization, and be ready to troubleshoot any issues related to data consistency or connectivity.

By following these steps, you can efficiently move data from Zenloop to Kafka without relying on third-party connectors or integrations, maintaining control over the data pipeline and customization according to your needs.

FAQs

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.

To sync data the Zenloop API can assist both full refresh and incremental for both answer endpoints. One can select this connector that will copy only the new or updated data, or all rows in the tables and columns you establish for replication, a sync is always run. Zenloop combines perfect customer relationships and it is an integrated experience management floor which based on the Net Promoter Score. The Zenloop API contributes programmatic entry and integration to a customer feeback platform.

Zenloop's API provides access to various types of data related to customer feedback and satisfaction. The categories of data that can be accessed through Zenloop's API are:  

1. Feedback data: This includes all the feedback received from customers through various channels such as email, web forms, and social media.  
2. Customer data: This includes information about customers such as their name, email address, phone number, and other contact details.  
3. Survey data: This includes data related to surveys conducted by the company to gather feedback from customers.  
4. Net Promoter Score (NPS) data: This includes data related to the NPS score of the company, which is a measure of customer satisfaction and loyalty.  
5. Sentiment analysis data: This includes data related to the sentiment of customer feedback, which can help companies understand the overall sentiment of their customers towards their products or services.  
6. Analytics data: This includes data related to customer behavior, such as the number of visits to the company's website, the time spent on the website, and the pages visited.  

Overall, Zenloop's API provides access to a wide range of data that can help companies gain insights into customer feedback and satisfaction, and make data-driven decisions to improve their products and services.

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 Zenloop to Kafka 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 Zenloop to Kafka and how frequently
You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud. 

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.

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.
