Collect and invite marketing data

Anthea Marin

We need a way to collect data from different platforms to load into Board. Fivetran would be a good option, but there is no Board Connector. Mainly it is about marketing data. What do we pay for advertising for etc? Does anyone have experience on this. An alternative would also be helpful.

Hi Anthea,

to load data into Board from an application for which there is no dedicated connector, like Fivetran, we have the following options, depending on the technical and business requirements:

• if the application has a common RDBMS as back-end, like SQL Server, Oracle, etc., and they alllow the connection, we can use one of our ODBC/JDBC drivers
• if it can produce text files, Board can ingest them
• if it exposes the data via REST APIs, Board can consume them. By looking at their documentation
  https://developers.fivetran.com/
  , it seems Fivetran does.

Hope this can help!
