Streak

Last updated on Mar 05, 2024

Streak is a CRM tool that simplifies business process management. The Streak extension can be integrated with GSuite applications, Zapier, and other APIs to help you track data associated with various teams, such as project management, sales, support, and hiring in an efficient manner. You can also collaborate with other team members by sharing emails, notes, and logs related to the tracked data.

You can replicate the data from your Streak extension to a Destination database or data warehouse using Hevo Pipelines. Streak uses an API key to identify Hevo and authorize the request for accessing account data. Hevo ingests the data objects in Full Load mode. Refer to section, Data Model for the list of supported objects.

Data Replication

For Teams Created Default Ingestion Frequency Minimum Ingestion Frequency Maximum Ingestion Frequency Custom Frequency Range (in Hrs)
Before Release 2.21 1 Hr 1 Hr 24 Hrs 1-24
After Release 2.21 6 Hrs 30 Mins 24 Hrs 1-24

Note: The custom frequency must be set in hours as an integer value. For example, 1, 2, or 3 but not 1.5 or 1.75.

Hevo ingests all the objects in Full Load mode in each run of the Pipeline.


Schema and Primary keys

Hevo uses the following schema to upload the records in the Destination database:


Data Model

The following is the list of tables (objects) that are created at the Destination when you run the Pipeline:

Object Description
Box Comments Contains details of the comments associated with a pipeline box. Pipelines are a core data object in Streak. Read List all Pipelines to know more.
Box Meetings Contains details of the call logs or meetings associated with a pipeline box.
Box Tasks Contains details of the various activities associated with a pipeline box. For example, product demo, onboarding, and meetings for a potential customer.
Box Threads Contains the list of replies associated with the emails of a particular pipeline box.
Pipeline Boxes Contains details of the potential customers, opportunities, accounts, candidates, or support tickets that you are tracking using Streak.
Pipeline Fields Contains details of the custom columns that you add to track details about boxes in a pipeline.
Pipelines Contains the list of boxes, the stages of your business process they currently are in, and the columns that are used to track details of these boxes.
Snippets Contains details of an email content that can be reused in the future.
Teams Contains details of all the groups of users in your organization.

Source Considerations

  • Pagination: Each API response for a Streak object fetches one page with up to 100 records.

  • Rate Limit: Streak imposes a limit of 10 API calls per second. If the limit is exceeded, Hevo defers the ingestion till the limits reset. Read API Rate Limits to configure a suitable ingestion frequency for your Pipeline.


Limitations

  • Hevo currently does not support deletes. Therefore, any data deleted in the Source may continue to exist in the Destination.

  • You cannot specify a duration for loading the historical data. Hevo loads the entire data in your Streak extension.

  • Due to schema limitations, Hevo does not support the Pipeline Stages object. But, the data for this object is ingested along with the Pipelines object. So, if the you load the Pipelines object, then data for Pipeline Stages object is also loaded in the same schema as that of Pipeline object.
