Hotjar + Redshift
Hotjar is an online behavior analytics tool that provides insights into how users interact with websites, helping teams optimize the experience and increase conversions. It uses heatmaps, session recordings, and feedback to identify areas for improvement. Amazon Redshift, on the other hand, is a cloud data warehouse designed for fast, efficient analysis of large data volumes
With Erathos, you can integrate Hotjar data into Redshift in just a few minutes. Our platform handles the entire data movement process into your analytics environment and lets you combine this data with other sources in your data warehouse. That way, your time is focused on what truly drives value — extracting actionable insights and making more data-driven decisions.
What Hotjar data does Erathos sync with Redshift?
The integration automatically syncs Hotjar's core objects:
Events — all tracked events with custom properties
Sessions — source, duration, device, and behavioral data
Users — profiles, properties, and activity history
Conversion funnels — steps, drop-offs, and rates by segment
Cohorts — retention and engagement over time
Custom properties — event properties and user properties defined by your team
Why sync Hotjar with Redshift?
Hotjar's native dashboards are great for monitoring product metrics, but they make cross-functional analysis harder. In Redshift, you can combine product events with CRM, payments, and marketing data — understand retention by cohort, calculate LTV by segment, and uncover the activation paths that best predict customer success.
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 pipelines fast and Redshift costs predictable. You choose the sync frequency (from 5 minutes to daily), the objects to sync, and the target dataset. Every run is logged with full observability: execution time, rows processed, errors with context, and instant alerts via Slack or email if something goes wrong.
No credit card required.
