Replicate SendGrid to BigQuery in minutes

SendGrid with its email delivery platform helps its users effortlessly send emails to customers without having to maintain email servers. There is a lot of data about your customers stored in your SendGrid account. To get full statistics about the emails you send with SendGrid, transferring your data to a cost-effective and scalable data warehouse like BigQuery is the right choice. By replicating your SendGrid data to BigQuery you’ll be able to combine this data with other data sources, including analytics, sales, and CRM, and get actionable insights when setting up new user segments and personalizing your emails.

 

Why integrate SendGrid to BigQuery?

SendGrid helps many growing companies solve the challenge of reliable email delivery without having to build email servers. Companies using SendGrid look to deeply understand the delivery analytics and analyze user journeys for data-driven marketing. Integrating your SendGrid data to BigQuery will allow you to optimize and scale your email marketing efforts with data-driven metrics. It will also help you to create a backup of your SendGrid data for future analysis. Also with up-to-date analysis-ready data available in BigQuery, your teams can focus proactively on understanding prospects and improving the email marketing efforts.

 

SendGrid Overview

SendGrid is a cloud-based email service that provides reliable transactional email delivery, scalability, and real-time analytics along with flexible APIs that make custom integration easy. Its key features include A/B testing, mailing list management, predefined templates, image library, and reporting. SendGrid allows users to track email opens, unsubscribes, bounces, spam reports, and other email delivery metrics.

 

BigQuery Overview

Google BigQuery is a cloud-based data warehouse service introduced by Google. It is a REST-based web service that allows you to run complex analytical SQL-based queries under large sets of data. Additionally, BigQuery is a serverless, highly scalable, and cost-effective multi-cloud data warehouse designed for business agility. Its fast deployment cycle and on-demand pricing make it one of the highly accessible and popular data warehouses.

 

How to replicate SendGrid to BigQuery?

Here’s an overview of the two approaches you can use to replicate SendGrid data to BigQuery. 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 SendGrid APIs & then connect it properly with the BigQuery data warehouse. This whole process to build a custom data pipeline requires regular intervention that makes it cumbersome.
