Creating a Salesforce Connection

To start extracting data from Salesforce, you need to create a connection between your Etlworks account and your Salesforce instance. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click on the 'Mapping' tab in Etlworks and configure the source SQL if needed (optional).

2. Select the 'From' connection and data object to extract and the 'To' connection and table.

3. Create a new database-to-database flow.

4. Create a destination connection for your relational database and test it.

5. Create a source connection for your SaaS app or service, in this case, Salesforce.

Once you have created the connection, you can start extracting data from Salesforce. The Etlworks Salesforce connector allows fast, real-time access to Salesforce data. You can use the Etlworks Explorer to browse data and metadata in Salesforce as well as execute DML and SELECT queries against your Salesforce connection.

Transforming Data

After extracting the data from Salesforce, you need to transform it according to your requirements. This may involve cleaning, aggregating, or filtering the data to make it suitable for loading into your target database.

Loading Data into Redshift

Once the transformation is complete, you can load the data into Amazon Redshift, a fast, fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service. The Etlworks Salesforce connector supports all objects and metadata (fields) available through the Salesforce API and works just like any other database connector.
