In today's business landscape, efficient data handling and analysis are becoming fundamental pillars for achieving success. Extracting the necessary data, its conversion, and precise analysis provide valuable insights into business operations and customer behavior, empowering informed decision-making. The potential to automate these processes helps streamline data exchange between different platforms, speeding up the data transfer process.
In the course of daily data management, most companies face common obstacles that can be effectively resolved using Synerise. Let's take a look at these challenges and see how Synerise helps solve them.
Companies may face various challenges in sharing and managing data on a daily basis. Some common challenges include:
Synerise provides an open ecosystem that allows users to seamlessly combine data obtained within the platform with data from external systems. This results in a unified experience across multiple platforms. Synerise flexibility ensures that all generated and collected data from different sources can be effortlessly incorporated, creating a secure environment for data transformation, analysis, and exchange with various third-party tools and platforms.
Let's explore each of these possibilities in more detail!
Synerise offers a seamless process for enriching the platform with data from various sources. This includes importing local files, retrieving data from SFTP and HTTP servers, and accessing data from Cloud Storages and third-party tools (which will be discussed in detail later in the article) through webhooks.
The process of data import is supported by the Synerise Automation module, which allows you not only to perform one-time data imports but also to create recurring workflows that effectively pull data from resources. This data can be retrieved to the platform in various forms (depending on your needs), such as events, profiles, promotions, coupons, and catalog data, among others.
Each workflow within Synerise can be initiated by various triggers, such as an event occurrence, scheduled run, customer profile update, or any other external trigger sent to the platform. This flexibility allows you to create customized solutions that precisely align with your unique business scenarios.
Import of local file
If you want to import data from a local file, you can benefit from the Data Import feature that simplifies the process of sending profiles, events, and transaction data to Synerise. You can either perform a direct one-time import or use the Automation module, which is the best option for recurring imports.
To learn more about the Data import feature, check out our User Guide.
For more real-world examples, check our use cases that explain basic import scenarios for each data type:
Retrieve data from SFTP and HTTPS servers
You can easily enrich your data in Synerise with data from SFTP and HTTPS servers using the Automation module. The module allows you to perform imports within a few clicks.
You can check exemplary scenarios of different data types imported from SFTP and HTTPS servers in the following use cases:
Access data from Cloud Storage
You also have the possibility to retrieve data stored on Cloud Storages, including Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, and Amazon S3. You can use these connections in various scenarios such as importing transactions, event data, and customer information (such as marketing agreements).
These integrations also work in reverse, allowing you to send your data from Synerise to the preferred Cloud Storage.
Using the Automation module, you can create different workflows with the determination of the required frequency of data import/export, improving your data flow process.
Here you can find some examples of data import from Cloud Storages to Synerise:
Incoming integration
The imports listed above are integration methods in which Synerise takes the lead in importing data from external tools. However, Synerise also offers an API that allows external tools to communicate with the platform and send data. It is worth noting that API requires a specific data structure to which an external tool may not always adapt. In such cases, an alternative and convenient option is incoming integration.
Incoming integration enables you to create an endpoint that receives data from external systems. Incoming integration facilitates workflow launch based on the received data from the external systems. This way, you can perform more complex imports by sending data from external tools to Synerise in JSON format.
We encourage you to take a look at some sample use cases that illustrate the use of the webhook creation to import data from external systems into Synerise:
When working with data, you often probably encounter situations where the data you want to acquire or send is not always in perfect condition. This can mean missing data, inconsistent naming, or data formats that don't meet the requirements of the target tool. Synerise Automation module comes to the rescue to help you fine-tune your data.
Using the Data Transformation feature, you can create various transformation rules according to which you want to modify your data. This enables you to design workflows that take data from external sources or Synerise, make necessary modifications (in line with your requirements) and seamlessly process your data. To learn more about the Data Transformation operators, refer to our User Guide.
What are the key benefits of this solution?
Moreover, the ability to use jinja inserts in transformation rules provides even more flexibility in data transformation, enabling you to perform advanced operations on edited values.
