How to integrate the data automatically from source(CRM) to destination(Metabase)...
Metabase isn't the destination - it just reads from your source database.
If your CRM database isn't accessible, you need to store the data where Metabase can access it.
I do a lot with REST APIs against cloud databases, then store the data in a Postgres database for reporting using Metabase and other products.
Hi AndrewMBaines,
Thank you for the reply , I doing the data visualization for the SuiteCRM Application and Database is in MySQL....till now I dump the data and import the Metabase........
I want to visualize the live data so how to automate the CRM data to metabase...
Could you help me with this?!** **
You need to create a connection from Metabase to MySQL. It's part of standard setup.
If you're using Metabase cloud and you have a firewall in the way, you'll need to allow access through that.
Like AndrewMBaines mentioned, you should create a connection from your source CRM to ideally a data warehouse such as BigQuery, for example. Then connect Metabase to BigQuery.
Use API to import script into a Data Warehouse, then Metabase points to Data Warehouse
SuiteCRM -> API -> Data warehouse -> Metabase
Host the API in a Cloud Function or Docker or something else more convenient. Hope that helps.
