Types of Sources
Hevo integrates with more than 150 data Sources. Based on their implementation, Sources are broadly categorized as:
-
SaaS Sources
-
Database and File System Sources
-
Webhooks and REST API Sources
SaaS Sources
SaaS Sources allow you to replicate data from Software as a Service (SaaS) applications. These Sources are classified based on the business purpose they serve. A Source may appear in more than one category if it serves multiple business purposes.
The different SaaS Source categories include:
-
Marketing Analytics: Applications that provide advertising data, campaign performance metrics, and customer engagement insights. Examples include Google Ads, Facebook Ads, LinkedIn Ads, HubSpot, Marketo, and Mailchimp.
-
Sales & Support Analytics: Customer relationship management (CRM) applications and helpdesk solutions that help manage customer interactions and support workflows. Examples include Salesforce, Zendesk, and Freshdesk.
-
Product Analytics: Applications that track user interactions with your product and support data-driven product decisions. Also includes e-commerce platforms. Examples include Amplitude, Mixpanel, Pendo, and Shopify.
-
Finance & Accounting Analytics: Applications that manage payments, billing, and subscription workflows. Examples include Stripe, Chargebee, and Recurly.
-
Engineering Analytics: Applications that support software development workflows, including project tracking, issue management, and team collaboration. Examples include Asana, GitHub, and Jira.
-
Streaming Sources: Applications that provide a framework for storing, reading, and processing real-time streaming data. Examples include Kafka and Confluent Cloud.
Database and File System Sources
This category includes:
-
Database Sources: Hevo supports popular relational databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle, and non-relational databases such as Amazon DocumentDB, Elasticsearch, and MongoDB. Both generic implementations and cloud-hosted variants, such as Google Cloud SQL and Amazon RDS, are supported.
-
Data warehouse Sources: Sources that enable scalable analysis over large volumes of data. Supported data warehouses include Amazon Redshift and Google BigQuery.
-
File storage Sources: Sources that store data in files organized in a folder and directory hierarchy on a hard drive or network storage device. Supported file storage Sources include Amazon S3, Google Drive, and Google Sheets.
Webhooks
Webhooks trigger data movement from the Source to Hevo as soon as data is generated, making them suitable for near real-time ingestion. Hevo supports ingesting data using webhooks from any application that offers webhook connectivity. For example, you can ingest data from Shopify either using the native Shopify Source or directly via a Shopify webhook. Configuration steps for webhooks are included in the respective Source documentation.
REST API
Hevo can ingest data from any application that provides REST APIs. You can configure the API endpoint, authentication, and query parameters directly in Hevo without writing custom integration code.
