Warehouse Destinations
Warehouse destinations are the main way of getting direct access to the underlying Freshpaint data. Once you've set up a data warehouse, you can run SQL over the raw Freshpaint data.
identify
calls will go to the new warehouse automatically. To send events, you'll need to opt-in each event you want to send to the new warehouse destination.Once configured, Freshpaint will sync data to your data warehouse every six hours.
Warehouses are only available for users on the Freshpaint business plan. If you are interested in setting up warehouses, email [email protected] and we will walk you through the steps to configure a warehouse destination.
For every event you send to a warehouse, Freshpaint will create a corresponding table. For example, if you send an event,
View Homepage
to your warehouse, Freshpaint will create a table, view_homepage
, and load all the View Homepage
events into it. Event tables have a column for each custom property you send in your events. When a new custom property is added to an event, a new column will be added to the table for that property.
All event tables also have the following additional columns:
Column | Description |
event_name | The name of the event definition matched by the event. |
time | The Unix time in seconds the event occurred at. |
pageview_id | The id of the pageview the event belongs to. All events performed in the same pageview will have the same pageview_id . |
session_id | The id of the session the event belongs to. A session is a group of actions perform in the same time frame. A session ends after 30 minutes of inactivity. All events performed in the same session will have the same session_id . |
browser | The name of the web browser. |
browser_version | The version of the web browser. |
device_id | A Freshpaint generated unique identifier for the device the event was sent from. This is sometimes referred to as the anonymous_id . |
host | The domain of the page the event occurred on. |
initial_referrer | The full URL of the page that first referred the user to your site. |
initial_referring_domain | The domain of the page that first referred the user to your site. |
initial_utm_campaign | The value of utm_campaign on the user's first visit. |
initial_utm_content | The value of utm_content on the user's first visit. |
initial_utm_medium | The value of utm_medium on the user's first visit. |
initial_utm_source | The value of utm_source on the user's first visit. |
initial_utm_term | The value of utm_term on the user's first visit. |
operating_system | The name of the operating system the user was using. |
path | The URL path of the page the event was performed on. |
referrer | The URL of the page the user was on before the page they performed the event on. |
referring_domain | The domain of the page the user was on before the page they perfomed the event on. It may be your own domain. |
screen_height | The height of the user's screen. |
screen_width | The width of the user's screen. |
url | The full URL of the page the event was performed on. |
user_id | The identity associated with the user through Identify. |
utm_campaign | The most recent value of the utm_campaign UTM property. |
utm_content | The most recent value of the utm_content UTM property. |
utm_medium | The most recent value of the utm_medium UTM property. |
utm_source | The most recent value of the utm_source UTM property. |
utm_term | The most recent value of the utm_term UTM property. |
In addition to any event tables you create, Freshpaint will also create an
identifies
table with all the identify calls you made.Column | Description |
id | The identity assigned to the user for the given identify call. |
anonymous_id | The ID of the device the identify call was performed on. |
sent_at | The time the identify call was performed. |
The table will also contain any user properties you send in your identify calls.
Freshpaint supports sending data to the following warehouses:
- Azure
- BigQuery
- Panoply
- Postgres
- Redshift
- Snowflake
- S3
When changing the name of an event definition, Freshpaint will not rename the table in the warehouse. It is recommended you create a new event definition and sync it to the warehouse instead of updating an old one.
When updating an event definition synced to a warehouse, Freshpaint will not delete the old data out of the warehouse. It is recommended you either delete the old data out of the warehouse before updating the event definition or create a new event definition instead of updating an old one.
