Starting today, you can create in OWOX BI a data pipeline from the SalesForce CRM to Google BigQuery OWOX BI. The pipeline is currently working in the alpha version status.
Setting up a pipeline in OWOX BI lets you to:
- Bring together your SalesForce data with the data from other sources like Google Analytics in a single storage, Google BigQuery
- Create cross-source reports that will update automatically and provide you with the up-to-date results on a daily basis
- Save the time of your analysts and paid traffic specialists by quickly uniting data and building reports based on it
Who can set up this pipeline
As for now, to create this pipeline, you need a SalesForce account with the API access. These are accounts with the pricing plans Enterprise Edition and Unlimited Edition, or Professional/Group Edition and Essentials Edition with the additionally enabled API.
If you are using Professional/Group Edition or Essentials Edition, you can enable the API access for an additional $25/month for each license. To do it, contact your SalesForce account manager.
We are going to add the support of all SalesForce accounts without the API access in the upcoming pipeline updates.
What can the alpha version of the SalesForce→BigQuery pipeline do
Right now you can:
- Upload historical data from any table to SalesForce Sales Cloud.
- Get daily updates on new info and activities from SalesForce in Google BigQuery.
- Use the gathered data to create custom BigQuery tables and bring them together with user behavior data on your website.
As soon as the pipeline leaves the alpha status, you’ll be able to unite the data automatically right in the OWOX BI interface. As for now, you can create custom tables with the SalesForce data and use them as a data source in OWOX BI. You can create custom tables by yourself following this structure or you can ask us to do that by writing at bi@owox.com.
