Data Imports
Overview
The CleverTap enables you to import data such as events and profiles from third parties to the CleverTap platform.
Data Import
To perform a data import, complete the following steps:
- Get the artifacts for data upload from the CleverTap Repository.
Note
The CleverTap script runs in
Go. Check that you have installedGoon your system. To download and install go, see https://golang.org/dl/.
- Install the CleverTap upload tool.
go get github.com/CleverTap/clevertap-data-upload
go install github.com/CleverTap/clevertap-data-upload
You can use the following arguments:
-csv string Absolute path to the csv file
-id string CleverTap Account ID
-p string CleverTap Account Passcode
-t string The type of data, either profile or event, defaults to profile (default "profile")
-evtName string Event name. Required only when uploading events. Each CSV file can only have one type of event
-r string The account region, either eu, in, sk, or sg, defaults to eu (default "eu")
-dryrun Do a dry run, process records but do not upload
-mixpanelSecret Mixpanel API secret key
-startDate Start date for exporting events from Mixpanel <yyyy-mm--dd>
-endDate End date for exporting events <yyyy-mm-dd>
-startTs Start timestamp for events upload in epoch
- Upload your data to CleverTap.
From Mixpanel
You can import your data from Mixpanel directly to CleverTap. The script constantly checks your Mixpanel project for new data at an interval of 20 seconds.
Example Events upload from Mixpanel:
clevertap-data-upload -id="XXX-XXX-XXXX" -p="XXX-XXX-XXXX" -mixpanelSecret="<mp api secret>" -t="event" -startDate="<yyyy-mm-dd>" -endDate="<yyyy-mm-dd>"
Example Profiles upload from Mixpanel:
clevertap-data-upload -id="XXX-XXX-XXXX" -p="XXX-XXX-XXXX" -mixpanelSecret="<mixpanel secret key>"
From other platforms such as Amplitude or any analytics tool
You can import data from any provider to CleverTap. You must first save the data from your platform in a CSV. You can then upload this CSV to CleverTap.
Example Events upload from CSV:
clevertap-data-upload -csv="/Users/name/Documents/in.csv" -id="XXX-XXX-XXXX" -p="XXX-XXX-XXXX" -t="event" -evtName="Product Viewed"
Example Profiles upload from CSV:
clevertap-data-upload -csv="/Users/name/Documents/in.csv" -id="XXX-XXX-XXXX" -p="XXX-XXX-XXXX"
Note
For CSV uploads, you must include one of identity, objectId, FBID or GPID, in your data. Email addresses can serve as an identity value, but the key must be identity.
