Intro to HubSpot Data

HubSpot is an incredible CRM platform that provides everything you need to facilitate content management and customer relations. And it has a lot more to offer if you take full advantage of HubSpot data. Data is often quoted as the currency of the digital world, and rightfully so. With proper data, you can make informed decisions, understand the market dynamics, and ensure all business-related decisions are foolproof.


HubSpot can provide you with huge amounts of data. From tracking key sales metrics to a complete analysis of your customer base, you can achieve a lot when you integrate HubSpot data into your wider data warehouse solution, such as Snowflake. Since both are cloud-based platforms, integrating HubSpot data with Snowflake is easy and quick. Furthermore, you also stand to enjoy a huge range of benefits for doing so.



Ways HubSpot Data Can Prove to be Beneficial

  • Organize the entire organization's data into a centralized warehouse so you can access accurate customer data at all times.

How to Integrate HubSpot Data with Snowflake

The following steps to integrate HubSpot with Snowflake work, assuming you have a working knowledge of HubSpot and Snowflake APIs and a Snowflake account. Here are some methods that you can use:


Method 1: Manual integration using HubSpot RESTful APIs

You can use REST API calls to fetch the data you need in the JSON format. You can then load this data to Snowflake using basic methods like COPY INTO, PUT, direct upload, or a visual wizard. To ensure that the data warehouse always hosts accurate and up-to-date data, you must set up a scheduled data update mechanism to fetch and update data properly.

As you can see, this method can be effort-intensive and makes it challenging to automate.


Method 2: Make use of data pipeline tools

An easier method to integrate HubSpot would be to use data pipeline applications to integrate HubSpot with Snowflake. All you need to do is configure HubSpot as a source and Snowflake as the destination, set up the proper data connection properties, and let the tool do its job.


Method 3: Use Snowflake Data Share

You can also integrate HubSpot data with Snowflake using Snowflake Data Share. All you need to do is connect your HubSpot data to your Snowflake instance to feed the latest HubSpot data to Snowflake in real time. This method is highly efficient and eliminates manual errors, operational risk, and data corruption.
