This feature is currently in Beta

This feature is not yet available to the general public. If you are interested in getting early access to message event data from OneSignal via Snowflake, please fill out this form, or reach out to [email protected].

Snowflake is a cloud-based data warehousing company that offers a fully managed and scalable solution for storing and analyzing large amounts of data. It provides a cloud-based data storage and analytics service that allows businesses to store, process, and analyze large amounts of structured and semi-structured data.

The events available are from email, push notifications, in-app messages, and SMS messages that have been sent and the subsequent events data tied with it. By integrating with OneSignal, you unlock the ability to automatically sync message event data to your Snowflake database. This allows you to run queries and generate reports based on the events your users generate.

Set Up

Prerequisites

Snowflake Account

If you do not already have a Snowflake account, we recommend you follow the quick guide on Snowflake’s documentation page

https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/getting-started-tutorial

OneSignal Account

You need have a professional plan or above with OneSignal to get access to this integration.

---

Step 1. Sign up

In order to activate the Snowflake integration, you'll need to request access via the OneSignal Marketplace listing for Message Events Data. From there we'll reach out to your team to obtain more information.

Step 2. Provide Account Information

Once we connect with your team, you'll need to provide some details to us so we can share data with you. We will need your Snowflake Account ID (as shown below).

Once you are accepted into the program, be on the look out for a few items:

• Email from OneSignal welcoming you into the program
• Email from Snowflake notifying that the data share is complete
  

Step 3. Accept data share within Snowflake

Once you receive an email from Snowflake notifying you about the data share being complete, you should be able to log into the Snowflake app and accept the data share.

Navigate to Data → Private Sharing where you should be able to see a new Privately Shared Listing. Once you click Get, your data will start replicating to your region.

It will take some time for the data to be replicated. Snowflake will follow up with an additional email once the data is available. You should see a dialog that looks like this

Once the data is ready to use, your listing should have a new Get button available. Click the Get button and you will be greeted with a new dialog

Set the name of the database and database roles to something you prefer. Then click Get

That’s it! Data is now being synced from OneSignal to Snowflake. The sync cadence is set to once every 24 hours, so the initial data may not be available until the next day. The retention time for data shared from OneSignal via Snowflake is 30 days. We suggest that customers copy the data to their own tables if they are looking to retain the data past 30 days.

Disconnect data share with OneSignal

Please email us at [email protected] to request to deactivate your data share with OneSignal.
