Connecting Yotpo

Yotpo setup requirements

To set up Yotpo in Stitch, you need:

To be the Account Administrator in Yotpo. This is required to access your Yotpo API credentials.

Step 1: Retrieve your Yotpo API credentials

Note: You must be the Yotpo Account Administrator to complete this step.

Sign into your Yotpo account.
Click the user menu (person icon) in the top right corner.
Click Account Settings.
On the Account Settings page, click the Store tab.
Locate the API Credentials section:
The App Key field contains your API Key, and the Secret Key is your API Secret.

Leave this page open for now - you’ll need it to complete the next step.

Step 2: Add Yotpo as a Stitch data source

Sign into your Stitch account.
On the Stitch Dashboard page, click the Add Integration button.
Click the Yotpo icon.
Enter a name for the integration. This is the name that will display on the Stitch Dashboard for the integration; it’ll also be used to create the schema in your destination.

For example, the name “Stitch Yotpo” would create a schema called stitch_yotpo in the destination. Note: Schema names cannot be changed after you save the integration.
In the Yotpo API Key field, paste the value from the App Key field in your Yotpo account.
In the Yotpo API Secret field, paste the value from the Secret Key field in your Yotpo account.

Step 3: Define the historical replication start date

The Sync Historical Data setting defines the starting date for your Yotpo integration. This means that data equal to or newer than this date will be replicated to your data warehouse.

Change this setting if you want to replicate data beyond Yotpo’s default setting of 1 year. For a detailed look at historical replication jobs, check out the Syncing Historical SaaS Data guide.

Step 4: Create a replication schedule

Replication schedules affect the time Extraction begins, not the time to data loaded. Refer to the Replication Scheduling documentation for more information.

In the Replication Frequency section, you’ll create the integration’s replication schedule. An integration’s replication schedule determines how often Stitch runs a replication job, and the time that job begins.

Yotpo integrations support the following replication scheduling methods:

Replication Frequency
Anchor Scheduling
Advanced Scheduling using Cron (Advanced or Premium plans only)

To keep your row usage low, consider setting the integration to replicate less frequently. See the Understanding and Reducing Your Row Usage guide for tips on reducing your usage.

Step 5: Set objects to replicate

Is an object missing or not replicating? Verify that the object meets the requirements for selection and replication.

The last step is to select the tables you want to replicate. Learn about the available tables for this integration.

Note: If a replication job is currently in progress, new selections won’t be used until the next job starts.

For Yotpo integrations, you can select:

**Individual tables **
All tables and columns

Click the tabs to view instructions for each selection method.

In the integration’s Tables to Replicate tab, locate a table you want to replicate.
To track a table, click the checkbox next to the table’s name. A blue checkmark means the table is set to replicate.
Repeat this process for all the tables you want to replicate.
When finished, click the Finalize Your Selections button at the bottom of the screen to save your selections.

Important: Using the Select All feature will overwrite any previous selections. However, selections aren’t final until Finalize Your Selections is clicked. Clicking Cancel will restore your previous selections. Refer to the Select All guide for more info about this feature.

Click into the integration from the Stitch Dashboard page.
Click the Tables to Replicate tab.
In the list of tables, click the box next to the Table Names column.
In the menu that displays, click Track all Tables and Fields:
Click the Finalize Your Selections button at the bottom of the page to save your data selections.

Initial and historical replication jobs

After you finish setting up Yotpo, its Sync Status may show as Pending on either the Stitch Dashboard or in the Integration Details page.

For a new integration, a Pending status indicates that Stitch is in the process of scheduling the initial replication job for the integration. This may take some time to complete.

Initial replication jobs with Anchor Scheduling

If using Anchor Scheduling, an initial replication job may not kick off immediately. This depends on the selected Replication Frequency and Anchor Time. Refer to the Anchor Scheduling documentation for more information.

Free historical data loads

The first seven days of replication, beginning when data is first replicated, are free. Rows replicated from the new integration during this time won’t count towards your quota. Stitch offers this as a way of testing new integrations, measuring usage, and ensuring historical data volumes don’t quickly consume your quota.

Replication will continue after the seven days are over. If you’re no longer interested in this source, be sure to pause or delete the integration to prevent unwanted usage.

Yotpo replication

Every time Stitch runs a replication job for Yotpo, the last 30 days’ worth of data will be replicated.

This is applicable to all tables in the integration.

Stitch replicates data in this way to account for updates made to existing records within the default attribution window of 30 days, thus ensuring you won’t make decisions based on stale (or false) data. As a result, you may see a higher number of replicated rows than what’s being generated in Yotpo.

Setting the Replication Frequency to a higher frequency - like 30 minutes - can result in re-replicating recent data and contribute to greater row usage. Replicating fewer tables or selecting a lower frequency can help keep your row count low.

Refer to the documentation for each of these tables in the next section for more info.

Attribution window examples

In the tabs below are examples of attribution windows behave during historical (initial) and ongoing replication jobs.

Historical and full re-replications
Ongoing replications

For historical and full re-replications of Yotpo data, Stitch will query for and extract data newer than or equal to the date defined in the Start Date field in the Integration Settings page.

The Start Date, in conjunction with the Attribution Window, defines the minimum date Stitch should query for when extracting historical data. This is calculated as:

Start Date - Attribution Window = Minimum Extraction Date

Example

During the initial set up, the Start Date field is set to 06/03/2017, or June 3, 2017.

To account for the Attribution Window, Stitch would calculate the Minimum Extraction Date value as: 2017-07-03 00:00:00 - 30 days = 2017-06-03 00:00:00

If you were to write a SQL query using this date for the reviews table, it might look like this:

  SELECT *
    FROM yotpo.reviews
   WHERE created_at >= '2017-06-03 00:00:00'   /* Min. Extraction Date */
ORDER BY created_at

For ongoing replication jobs, Stitch will query for and extract data using the last saved maximum value in the table’s Replication Key column and the Attribution Window for the table.

Note: This applies to every replication job that takes place after the historical replication job.

Example

The last maximum saved Replication Key value for the reviews table is 2017-10-01 00:00:00.

To account for the Attribution Window of 30 days, we’d subtract this from the last maximum saved Replication Key value:

2017-10-01 00:00:00 - 30 days = 2017-09-01 00:00:00

In this case, Stitch would query for and extract data that is newer than or equal to 2017-09-01 00:00:00 and older than or equal to 2017-10-01 00:00:00.

If this were a SQL query, it might look like this:

  SELECT *
    FROM reviews
   WHERE created_at >= '2017-09-01 00:00:00'
                              /* max Replication Key value - Attribution Window */
     AND created_at <= '2017-10-01 00:00:00'
                              /* max Replication Key value from previous job */
ORDER BY created_at

Schemas and versioning

Schemas and naming conventions can change from version to version, so we recommend verifying your integration’s version before continuing.

The schema and info displayed below is for version 1 of this integration.

Table and column names in your destination

Depending on your destination, table and column names may not appear as they are outlined below.

For example: Object names are lowercased in Redshift (CusTomERs > customers), while case is maintained in PostgreSQL destinations (CusTomERs > CusTomERs). Refer to the Loading Guide for your destination for more info.

emails

The emails table contains data about every email sent from Yotpo.

Attribution window

When Stitch replicates data for this table, it will use an attribution window of 30 days to fetch updated email statistics such as opens, clicks, etc. This means that every time a replication job runs, the last 30 days’ worth of data will be replicated for this table.

Refer to the Replication section for more info and examples of how the attribution window is used to query for data.
