How to Build a No-Code ETL Pipeline

Introduction to No-Code ETL

In today's data-driven world, businesses require efficient data integration solutions. A no-code ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipeline allows users to move data between systems without writing complex code. This guide demonstrates how to connect Salesforce, a leading CRM platform, to MotherDuck, a robust data storage solution, using Keboola's intuitive platform.

Setting Up Your Salesforce Extractor

To begin, log into Keboola and search for the Salesforce extractor. Configure it by entering your credentials including login, password, and security token. This ensures secure data extraction. Once configured, you can specify the data fields to extract. For instance, selecting 'participants' allows you to focus on relevant data without overloading the system.

Choose between a full or incremental load depending on your data size and update frequency. A full load imports all data, while an incremental load updates only changed records, optimizing efficiency.

Transforming Data for MotherDuck

Once data is extracted, you may opt to transform it. While optional, transformation can enhance data quality and usability. For example, renaming columns or changing data types is possible within Keboola. This step ensures that your data matches the schema requirements of MotherDuck.

Configuring the MotherDuck Writer

With extracted data ready, set up the MotherDuck writer. Select 'destination' when configuring the writer within Keboola. Input your access token to load databases, and choose the target database and schema such as 'SF video' and 'main'. This setup directs your data accurately into MotherDuck.

Mapping source columns to destination columns is straightforward. You can customize column names, data types, and specify primary keys. This customization helps maintain data integrity and alignment with MotherDuck's structure.

Creating and Running a Data Flow

Now, assemble a flow that connects Salesforce data to MotherDuck. In Keboola, create a new flow, selecting Salesforce as the data source and MotherDuck as the destination. Define steps clearly, such as 'Salesforce extraction' and 'MotherDuck writing', to maintain clarity.

Run the flow to initiate data transfer. Keboola provides detailed logs showing the status of each step, enabling you to monitor progress and troubleshoot if necessary.

Scheduling and Notifications

Automate your ETL process by scheduling flows to run at specified times. Keboola's scheduling feature supports date-time triggers, ensuring data is consistently updated. Additionally, set notifications for flow completion, success, or failure. Unique to Keboola is the alert for flows exceeding typical run times, indicating potential issues like increased data volume or system performance changes.

Verifying Data in MotherDuck

After running your flow, verify data presence in MotherDuck. Access your specified database and schema to confirm data migration. This verification step ensures your pipeline functions correctly, providing reliable data for analysis and decision-making.
