Introduction

Qobra connects to Snowflake with basic authentication, username / password credentials. The integration is used to synchronize exposed tables, their columns and their content. This integration is readonly and does not write anything in your Snowflake database.

​
Setup

  1. Create an account to setup the Qobra connection, ensuring the principle of least privilege. This means the account needs to have read only access, on table that need to be synchronized with Qobra. You’ll find Snowflake’s documentation regarding User, role, & privilege commands here. Once your account is created, make sure you keep its username and password for later steps.
  2. Whitelist Qobra’s IP: 13.39.2.144
  3. You’ll then be able to fill in connection modal in app:
    • Username: Snowflake account username
    • Password: Snowflake account password
    • Host: Snowflake account’s unique URL
    • Port: by default 443 for encrypted (TLS/SSL) connections
    • Database: Snowflake database

Synchronization

​
Table requirements

To synchronize a file to Qobra, it must meet requirements:
  • the file contains a unique identifier column
  • the file contains a name column
  • the user values contained in the file must be emails by default, but it can be changed in app at table creation

​
Total synchronization

This integrations does total synchronization, meaning the whole document will be synced at every refresh.

​
Refresh Schedule

By default, we perform four Full Refreshes per day to keep your data up to date. However, you can customize both the frequency and timing of these refreshes to better suit your needs:
  • Default Schedule: Four Full Refreshes per day
  • Customizable Options:
    • Adjust the number of daily refreshes
    • Set specific hours for the refreshes to occur
    • Configure the schedule through your integration settings
  • On-Demand Updates: Need the latest data right away? Just click the refresh button in your integration settings

​
Custom querying

With this integration, you can apply a custom query to your table synchronization, to avoid synchronizing too much information, consequently making synchronization quicker. Custom queries are based on SQL where conditions. For instance, you could add as a custom query StageName = 'Closed Won’ to filter your Opportunity object. Contact support for more information.
