Replicate Zoho Desk to Redshift in minutes

If you are not utilizing your Zoho desk’s data then you are missing out on critical insights. Since e-commerce companies use separate platforms and tools for selling, payments, support, and logistics it becomes impossible to track the customer’s interactions and journey through the conversion funnel. Replicating your Zoho desk data to Redshift is the right step toward building a robust analytical infrastructure. With your helpdesk data streamlined with a high-performance cloud warehouse like Redshift, you can run anything from complex ad-hoc queries to standard reporting, and easily combine Zoho desk data with other sources.

Why integrate Zoho Desk to Redshift?

Zoho Desk is an IT support and helpdesk platform that automates customer service processes. It becomes essential for businesses to integrate this data along with data generated from other apps and tools such as websites, inventory management, payment gateways, CRMs, and marketing. Integrating your Zoho desk data to a data warehouse like Redshift will enable you to take advantage of advanced analytical capabilities and gain a better understanding of customers.

Zoho Desk Overview

Zoho Desk is a context-aware helpdesk designed to help your company build meaningful relationships with your customers. The platform has advanced process management, embeddable self-service, a powerful AI assistant, and brings together all the tools and context your teams need to deliver great customer service. Zoho Desk is an ideal choice for small to midsize businesses (SMBs) who want a platform that can grow with them. Zoho continues to add features to improve Zoho Desk, building a rich feature set that includes advanced functionality like voice over IP (VoIP), social media integration, and data analysis for managers monitoring customer interactions and service level agreements (SLAs).

How to replicate Zoho Desk to Redshift?

Here’s an overview of the two approaches you can use to replicate Zoho Desk data to Redshift. This will allow you to evaluate the pros and cons of both and choose the one that best suits your requirement.

Build your own data pipeline

This process needs a lot of experience and consumes a lot of time and manpower. The chances of errors are more due to multiple integrated steps to be executed one after the other. You need to extract data using Zoho Desk APIs & then connect it properly with the Redshift data warehouse. This whole process to build a custom data pipeline requires regular intervention that makes it cumbersome.
