Hotjar + BigQuery
Hotjar is an online behavior analytics tool that provides insights into how users interact with websites, helping to optimize user experience and boost conversion rates. It uses heatmaps, session recordings, and feedback widgets to identify areas for improvement. Amazon Redshift, on the other hand, is a cloud data warehouse designed for fast and efficient analytics on large datasets.
With Erathos, your Hotjar data lands in BigQuery in minutes, ready to be joined with other business data sources in ad-hoc queries, without your team having to manage any ingestion infrastructure.
What Hotjar data does Erathos sync with Redshift?
The integration automatically syncs key Hotjar objects:
Events: All tracked events along with their custom properties
Sessions: Source, duration, device, and behavioral data
Users: Profiles, properties, and activity history
Conversion Funnels: Funnel stages, drop-offs, and conversion rates by segment
Cohorts: Retention and engagement metrics over time
Custom Properties: Event and user properties defined by your team
Why sync Hotjar with BigQuery?
In BigQuery, you can combine Hotjar data with other business sources, running ad-hoc queries in seconds across massive datasets without managing infrastructure.
How it works
Erathos connects to Hotjar via the official API and syncs your data incrementally: only new or updated records are processed in each run, keeping your pipelines fast and BigQuery costs predictable. You choose the sync frequency (from every 5 minutes to daily), the objects to sync, and the target dataset. Every run is logged with full observability: execution time, rows processed, contextual error logs, and instant alerts via Slack or email if anything goes wrong.
No credit card required.
Why do data teams choose Erathos over Hotjar?
Hotjar connector ready to use
Connect Hotjar to BigQuery and automatically export events, metrics, and funnels. Product data always fresh in your data warehouse — no manual engineering required.
Full control over your Hotjar pipelines
Configure schedule, frequency, and sync type at the table level. Incremental synchronization processes only new or modified records—keeping BigQuery costs low and your analyses always up to date.
End-to-end observability
Stop finding out Hotjar is broken only after the business team complains. Every run is logged with runtime, processed rows, and error context. Automatic alerts via Slack, Discord, or email the moment something goes off track — so your product metrics stay reliable for roadmap decisions.

Bruno Rosso
Data Analyst
Every new source implementation, if I had to do it alone, would take me about two or three months. With Erathos, it's done in a few hours. I don't need a data engineer's skillset to deliver real value with company data.

Luis Ribas
CTO
I can describe my experience with Erathos as seamless; we had no major issues migrating from our old data pipeline platform. Their support is always impeccable, both in answering questions and resolving issues. I highly recommend them, without a doubt.

Sayuri Valente
Project Manager
The robustness and efficiency of Erathos's connectors—whether for Meta, Google, RD Station, or ERPs like Bling and Conta Azul—make the entire pipeline much faster and more reliable. The technical documentation is extremely well-crafted and intuitive, which greatly legacy simplifies implementation.

Kauê Raizer
Co-founder
Centralizing our data with Erathos gave us a roadmap to structure the company: today, we can view NPS and churn in a consolidated way and use that to drive decisions. If I were to give advice to another founder, it would be: centralize your data from day one.

Matheus Nunes
CTO & Co-founder
Erathos revolutionized data management at WE. By integrating multiple SaaS platforms into a single DW, our engineering team can now focus on the core business. We implemented dashboards providing insights across all departments, enriching our data culture and streamlining decision-making.

Fernando R.
Head of Data
Erathos brought an incredible boost in productivity. With no worries about data ingestion, the team focused on strategy rather than pipeline maintenance. Implementing a new connector takes minutes, and the reliability is outstanding. It was one of the best decisions we've made.

Carlos Schwabe
Co-Founder & CDO
We used to have a lot of rework, but not anymore. Working this way is much more efficient. If it's not your core business, hire Erathos. Spend your time modeling your own domain, not someone else's.

Fernando Costa
CTO & Co-founder
It was impossible to run our operations on spreadsheets. Erathos was a perfect fit: they became the data engineer I didn't have. We managed to reduce analysis time, establish weekly data rituals, and, most importantly, trust the data we use.

Thiago Paz
CFO
If I didn't have this infrastructure, I would need three or four people to do what Erathos does today. I was able to drive real value from my data with a much leaner team than I ever imagined needing.

Felipe Corrêa
CTO & Co-founder
Erathos is essential for anyone looking for a quick go-live when centralizing data from multiple sources. We successfully integrated 6 different data sources in a single day, something that would have taken weeks without Erathos.
