Connect the data sources
The first step is going to app.detrics.io (if you don’t have an account, make one) and connecting the data sources. The video shows how one gets connected; the process is always the same for any platform: no code needed, it’s simply clicking through.
Once connected, the authorized account appears along with all your platform accounts (in the video everything is blurred and anonymized since it’s a demo environment).
Create the destination
What’s left is connecting the destination: where the data goes. For this you need a Google Cloud project with billing enabled.
In the destinations section, you create a new one and enter the ID of the Google Cloud project where you work with BigQuery. The system checks all the permissions and, once everything is fine, the destination is created.
With the data source and the destination ready, the next step is creating the tables and the transfers.
