It’s easy to connect Meltwater to your data warehouse with Portable.

  1. Create your Portable account (it’s free)
  2. Add a Meltwater source —Search for and select Meltwater
  3. Enter your Meltwater credentials using the instructions in the Portable console
  4. Pick your data warehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, or PostgreSQL) and authenticate
  5. Create a flow connecting Meltwater to your data warehouse
  6. Replicate data from Meltwater to your destination of choice
  7. Set your data flow to run on a cadence (daily, hourly, etc.)

The Benefits of a No-Code Meltwater ETL Solution

Business intelligence teams love creating value from data. And the easiest way to get started is by using a no-code tool like Integrate.io for the most common data sources:

  • Applications like: Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Sheets, Facebook Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Salesforce, Shopify, etc.
  • Databases like: MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, etc.

By using a SaaS ETL solution like Integrate.io or Portable, you can focus your efforts on building dashboards, writing SQL, and generating business value instead of deploying and maintaining infrastructure.

What’s included in Integrate.io’s product?

  1. 200+ data connectors
  2. Popular eCommerce sources like CRMs and social media platforms
  3. Low-code interface
  4. Drag-and-drop interface with a fast learning curve
  5. Well-reviewed customer support
  6. Change data capture
  7. Templates for common data pipeline tasks

Integrate.io is a great place to get started, but as you build out your data team, you will start to receive more nuanced requests for analytics.

As more requests for insights make their way into your backlog, you won’t be able to repurpose data from your existing data sources (like your product database and CRM system) into new dashboards, so you will need to integrate Meltwater and other bespoke applications into your data warehouse.

The question is: How?

What Is the Best Solution for Bespoke Long-Tail Connectors Like Meltwater

Meltwater isn’t the most niche platform out there, but it’s not as common as Salesforce, SAP, or Oracle. (Trust us, there are some pretty niche connectors out there. We’ve integrated with them!)

As you search for a reliable way to sync data from Meltwater to Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, or PostgreSQL, it’s important to understand your options.

Problem: The options for a Meltwater connector aren’t great

Historically, your options for a Meltwater data pipeline were limited:

  1. Read the Meltwater API documentation and build a custom integration yourself
  2. Find a way to build and maintain your custom connector within Integrate.io
  3. Hire a data consultant to build and maintain the data pipeline
  4. Ignore the request, give up on accessing the data, and don’t build the dashboard

Solution: Portable already has a prebuilt Meltwater connector

Without writing a line of code you can start syncing data from Meltwater to your data warehouse, today. Here are four common Meltwater integrations you can try out.

  1. Meltwater to Snowflake Integration
  2. Meltwater to Google BigQuery Integration
  3. Meltwater to Amazon Redshift Integration
  4. Meltwater to PostgreSQL Integration

Once you sync data with Portable, it’s easy to get the information you need. Our team is always excited to add new connectors, new endpoints, and new fields —development is fast and entirely free.

How Do You Create Value From a Meltwater ETL Pipeline?

At Portable, we handle the development and maintenance of your Meltwater pipeline, so you can focus on creating business value with analytics, automation, and external data products.

Here are a few ideas for sales analytics dashboards to help get you started creating value from your Meltwater integration.

  1. Open Tasks (By Assignee) —If your team is analyzing tasks, it's easy to build a quick summary of open tasks for each assignee to help to keep everyone in the loop.
  2. Overdue Tasks (By Project) —Every once in a while, tasks are delayed. Setting up alerts or notifications when tasks are overdue within a project can help your team stay on track.
  3. Average Time To Complete Tasks (By Month Created) —For operational teams and support teams, the completion time for tasks can be a great metric to help streamline processes. By showing trend data of the average time to complete tasks, you can better understand how your operational initiatives are working and consistently strive to support clients in real time.

During the process of converting raw data into insights, you should check out tools like DBT, Coalesce, and Narrator for transformation, and tools like Mode, Looker, Tableau, Retool, and Power BI to generate dashboards and insights for users.
