Query the Copper API using regular SQL

You're a developer. You're perfectly capable of connecting to the Copper API and pulling down data. But why waste your time building an API integration when your skills and time are better spent elsewhere?

API integrations are hard to build and maintain. But with SyncHub, you can query your data source using a language you know and love - SQL.

How it works

Get your Copper data into your favourite reporting tool in just two minutes and three easy steps.

1 2 3 Connect Copper to SyncHub

Securely connect your cloud software to SyncHub and we'll do the rest.

1 2 3 We sync your data automatically

SyncHub incrementally syncs your data and stages it in a managed data warehouse (yours, or we'll provide one for free). We check for changes so you don't have to.

1 2 3 Build your customized reports

Query and share your data using our built-in Insights platform, integrate with your artificial intelligence platforms or use reporting tools like Excel, Tableau or Power BI.

No ODBC driver required

SyncHub runs in the cloud, 24×7. There are no ODBC drivers to install or maintain, and no local computer required to cache your results. Just securely connect SyncHub to your Copper account and you can be querying your data in just a couple of minutes.

Bring your own database, or we'll provide one for you

All our plans include your very own, dedicated SQL Azure database, letting you plug-n-play and immediately start downloading your data.

But if you have your own data warehouse already, compliance issues or just need more power, just bring-your-own-database. We support Redshift, Postgres, SQL Server/Azure, BigQuery and Snowflake.

Real-time data*

Make a change in Copper and query it via SQL within minutes. Our feed is so quick, you'll think you're querying Copper directly!

Your data is secure

Your Copper data is stored using best-practice security protocols. But if you're still concerned, no worries - just use our BYOD (Bring Your Own Database) option when setting up your account.

Frequently asked questions

Not directly, no. But SyncHub's ERD model, combined with the real-time* sync from Copper, means that it is essentially the same as querying directly.
No. Our solution is cloud-hosted, meaning no installs are required on your own computers. Furthermore, because it is cloud-hosted, SyncHub runs in the background 24-7, keeping your data up to date while you sleep.
If your SQL skills are a little rusty, we've got you covered too. Our AI Assistant lets you speak with your Copper data in natural language - no SQL or BI skills required! Read more about our AI here.
SyncHub can poll Copper as frequently as every five minutes, however this capability may be limited by the amount of data you have and/or the type of plan you have with Copper. The best way to find out is to simply grab a free trial of SyncHub, connect Copper, then see for yourself.
No. SyncHub is a read-only tool and cannot reflect changes back to your cloud applications.
We currently sync Activity, Activity type, Company, Contact type, Custom field, Lead, Opportunity, Person, Pipeline, Project, Task, Company email, Company tag, Company website, Company phone number, Company social, Company custom field, Custom field option, Lead email, Lead tag, Lead website, Lead phone number, Lead social, Lead custom field, Opportunity tag, Opportunity custom field, Person tag, Person email, Person website, Person phone number, Person social, Person custom field, Pipeline stage, Project tag, Project custom field, Task tag, Task custom field, Company custom field option, Lead custom field option, Opportunity custom field option, Person custom field option, Project custom field option and Task custom field option (see our Data Model for full details). If there's something else you need just ask.
Your Copper data is stored in its own dedicated data warehouse, hosted in our Microsoft Azure Sydney Data Center. If you'd like it stored somewhere else (even your own servers), just enquire about our BYOD (bring-your-own-database) option.
Absolutely. Every customer gets their very own isolated data warehouse. Database credentials are salt-encrypted...multi-factor authentication can be activated for your account...we take security very seriously. You can read more about our security best practices here.

SyncHub's engine polls for changes every 5 minutes. However, different APIs, and different endpoints within those APIs, may impose restrictions beyond our control - thereby reducing the fidelity of your real-time feed.
