Overview

What is DataHawk Connections?

Connections allows you to connect a dedicated DataHawk database to your BI tools and other destinations, allowing you access to our rich, raw data. These tools include Excel, Snowsight, Power BI, Looker, Tableau, and more.

📘

How does it work?

When you enable the Connections feature, we build a specific database filled with your DataHawk data and hosted on Snowflake.
This database we provide is compatible with the full Snowflake ecosystem and all the tools that can connect to Snowflake are the supported destinations.

What are the benefits of using DataHawk Connections?

• Export your Amazon and Walmart data directly to your current tools.
• No need to learn new software - continue using what you are comfortable with.
• Create custom visualizations tailored to your business's unique needs.
• Enjoy clean data, custom metrics, and insights, at scale, from our very own data science team.
• No more manual exports and tedious copy-pasting. We automate and simplify data analysis. Data is synced automatically on an hourly basis.

What kind of data will you be able to access?

All of the data you track on your DataHawk account through the app is also available with Connections, including:

• Tracked products and keywords (listings, sales ranks, organic ranks, sponsored ranks daily)
• Seller Central account data (orders, profit & loss, financial events)
• Advertising data (aggregated per account, campaign or product)
  Additionally, the data will be accompanied by custom-made KPIs (i.e., sales estimates, keyword search volume)

How to enable Connections?

For this example, we will set up Connections as a PowerBI user.

1. Open the DataHawk app and navigate to the Connections module via the sidebar. Once there, click on "Add Destination."

2. You will be redirected to a destination selection page titled "Add Destination," wherein a list of all available Destinations will be displayed. Click on the destination you are interested in. To know more about all available destinations, click here.

3. This will bring you back to the Destinations page, with the connection of your choice added, showing an "Initializing" status. The connection typically takes less than a few minutes to initialize.

4. Once the status is "Enabled," click on the Connection to access the credentials page. On this page, you will see all the information regarding the newly created database we built, filled with your DataHawk data.

These credentials give you access to your newly created DataHawk database (hosted on Snowflake).

Post this, go to the BI tool and connect to Snowflake using the newly created credentials.
Once connected, you will have access to all your DataHawk data on your favorite BI/dashboarding tool.
