Are you looking for ways to transfer data from Intercom to Google Bigquery? Here, we have discussed a quick and easy way to do this data migration using an ETL tool: Daton.

Monitoring customer service becomes a challenging issue due to the lack of real-time data. Usually, the executives in charge of monitoring need to compile reports from various sources like IM services, Social media platforms, Emails, SMS, Chat systems, Cloud Telephony services. The compilation is a daunting task in itself, and it takes time to prepare reports which are then analyzed. This time lag is one of the biggest challenges that companies face since it delays the decision-making process. Modern businesses feed data from all sources to a data warehouse like Google BigQuery for easier and faster analytics. But loading all this data manually to the data warehouse is also a difficult task. Daton is a highly automated data pipeline that easily integrates various sources that a company may be using. It can automatically fetch data from the Intercom into a data warehouse without any effort or maintaining scripts.
