3. Enter your Tableau Connector Server, Database, Username, and password. These were sent to you via email after you signed up. The server name should be entered without a http:// prefix. You must enter that information exactly as it written in our delivery email. Some email providers automatically hyperlink the server address. Do not copy the hyperlink. Simply copy paste the text and enter it in the Server field below. (You may also be asked to enter a port. In that case the port you should enter is 1433)

4. Drag and drop the data tables you wish to use in your reports, and join them using unions with the keys that relate the tables together. You may have the add the data source more than once to get all of your data in.

 

For example you can add deals and then join everything that relates to deals and then add that as a data source, then start from the first step and instead this time add campaigns and then join all related campaigns data. An ERD that shows you how the tables relate can be found here. https://support.datawarehouse.io/hc/en-us/articles/360054107794-Datawarehouse-io-HubSpot-Connector-ERD 

 

Below you can see how as an example you can relate the various data tables together. Sometimes the keys to relate the tables will automatically detect and other times you will have to enter them in. Feel free to enter the same table more than once if the relationships call for it. As you can see in the example below it has the contact table and deals table in there twice.

5. When publishing your data  source be sure to select the Embed credentials so you do not have to re-authenticate each time you wish to use the data source.  (When saving embedded credentials you may be asked to enter a port number. In that case the port you should enter is 1433)

6.  If you have selected Data "Live" you may have issues connecting to the service. We recommend selecting Extract. mceclip10.png

 

7. After selecting extract, you will need to schedule your refresh. Please refresh only as often as the connector data does. This is determined by the version of the Tableau Connector app you purchased. To scheduled your refreshes select the extract refreshes tab and then schedule your extracts with the prompt.
