Welcome to our April Melt! Here’s what you may have missed from the past month.

New Connectors ⛓️

We added 5 new integrations to our library and the open-source Singer community in April.

Logic4

Keyna from our integrations team built a tap and target for Logic4 (logic4.nl), an e-commerce and ERP platform based in the Netherlands. You can use the connectors to fetch inventory, purchase, and sales information, and write back transactions like purchase orders.

Bird (formerly MessageBird)

Keyna built a target for Bird (bird.com), an omnichannel communications platform and CRM. Built on Hotglue’s target SDK, the target lets you push any data, like new contacts, to your customers’ Bird CRM accounts.

Appsflyer

Adil from our integrations team built a target for Appsflyer (appsflyer.com), a mobile marketing analytics tool. Combined with our existing Appsflyer tap, the new target allows you to offer bi-directional connectivity with your customers’ Appsflyer apps.

Connectwise

Our partner, Plentive, built a connector to read data from Connectwise (connectwise.com), an MSP management solution. The tap fetches data such as projects, activities, and time entries.

ClientTether

Chauncy from Plentive also built a connector for ClientTether (clienttether.com), a CRM for franchises. The connector fetches general CRM data from your customers’ ClientTether accounts.

We also released a Confluence connector out of beta, thanks to a fork of Edgar Ramírez Mondragón’s Singer tap.

New API endpoints 🚥

We released two new API endpoints last month.

catalog/search

Run fast, granular searches across catalogs to search for streams, fetch types, and more. This is particularly useful for large catalogs that are too big to be served in a single linkedSource fetch.

discover/kill

Just like the Kill Jobs endpoint, you can use this to end any running discovers for a linked connection.

Job log quality of life updates 🔁

You may also notice some minor QoL updates to your log viewing experience:

• Logs now open with the erroring section loaded, rather than the first line of the log
• We added new navigation pills to quickly skip between the sync, ETL, and export sections
• Logs are now clickable as soon as jobs kick off

Job-level environment variable control ✅

You have more control than ever over the behavior that your jobs run with.

POST /jobs

When making a POST to `/jobs`, you can define override environment variables. This could be an existing reserved variable (max_record_count, default_export_format) or a custom environment variable used in your ETL.

Schedules

When setting schedules, you can now configure schedules to run with specific environment variables and job settings, just like manual job runs. Supported params in schedules now include:

• override_start_date
• override_selected_tables
• override_field_map
• environment_variables

Hey hotgluers,

Welcome to the hotglue melt.

Before we jump into what’s new in hotglue, we have a few major updates that we are slowly rolling out in a limited beta.

Real-time writes remove the need for a job process to POST data using our unified API. If you use our API to write data (not a reverse ETL from a Database or filestore), this lets you see the validations or success responses right when you POST. The limited beta is for Quickbooks and Shopify, with more to come with the general release.

Thereal-time webhook handler runs high-throughput trigger-based workflows without the need for full job processes. This is built on top of our real-time triggers–now they are just much faster, smaller, and more flexible.

If these are relevant to you, and you want to try them out before general release, let us know!

Reach out to us at hello@hotglue.xyz

Now, for what’s new:

Connector-level schedules 🗓️

With connector-level schedules, you can maintain individual schedules for each connector - either as an alternative or an addition to existing flow-level schedules. This enables use cases like:

• Running multiple schedules for the same connection, like an hourly sync and a weekly catch-all.
• Building automations to pause and re-enable certain integrations.

Updated email notification system 📢

If you use emails to track job failures, you may have noticed some changes to the emails you get:

• You can now configure email notifications on an environment-level, rather than across all environments. Environment-level emails can be configured in Settings > Notifications, while Organization-level emails remain in your account settings.
• Daily report emails now display the error messages and their associated tenants, rather than a list of failing tenants. This should make it easier to track error patterns without needing to navigate your hotglue admin panel.

Other features 🚀

• **Restrict upload file types in the widget.
  **In Settings > Widget, you can now configure a list of supported file types for file uploads. Use this to only allow discoverable files (csv and excel), or otherwise limit uploads to files that your ETL is prepared to handle.

• **Jupyter speed boost
  **Your environment and script-level dependencies are now downloaded and cached the first time you run Jupyter. That means that subsequent Jupyter startup times are significantly faster now.

• **Memory failure auto-retriggers
  **Large jobs occasionally need more memory and storage than is provisioned by default. In Settings > Jobs > Error management, you can now configure jobs to automatically retrigger with increased memory on OOM failures.

See you next month! 👋

Hey everyone! Welcome to our monthly hotglue melt. Here’s a rundown of the hotglue features you may have missed.

Faster jobs ⏩

Over the past few weeks, our backend team has pushed some big changes to help make jobs faster. We’ve seen job time savings of anywhere from 40 seconds to over 3 minutes, and there’s more to come. The improvements to date include:

• ETL Dependency Caching: Jobs now only update and install ETL dependencies when necessary.
• Asynchronous Job Status Webhooks: Jobs no longer wait for webhook responses. If your webhook endpoint takes a while to respond, you’ll notice big gains here.
• Dynamic Installation of Database Drivers: hotglue now intelligently installs database drivers, only when required.
• Refined Python Venv Inits: We’ve refactored how we initialize virtual environments, to remove unnecessary overhead from the runtime.

Next steps: We’re working through individual connectors to add more concurrency, and adding some additional optimizations to the job executor.

Redesigned on-premise connectors (Sage 50 UK and Quickbooks Desktop)

Sage 50 UK and Quickbooks Desktop are installed executables available on our Basic Plan and above. They can now be linked in under a minute and managed remotely, with:

• JWT-secured password authentication
• Remote logging
• Auto-updates with the hotglue launcher
• Remote config and state management

Here’s a demo of how this works for QBD.

New Integrations 🔁

Over the past few weeks, our integrations team contributed three new connectors to hotglue’s library and the Singer community:

• Linnworks (tap), built by Vinnie
• Precoro (target), built by Keyna
• Sellercloud (tap), built by Adil

Our customer Plentive also contributed four new Singer connectors, which are all available to use in any hotglue environment:

• BQE
• VantagePoint
• Quickbooks Time
• Crelate

Lastly, we improved some existing open-source connectors and added them to the hotglue library:

• Redshift (tap), originally built by Monad
• LinkedIn Ads (tap), originally built by Singer.io
• Clickhouse (target), originally built by Shaped.ai

Fixes and improvements 🛠️

Frontend:

• The billing page now shows your invoices for download, and you can assign billing page access to multiple user accounts
• The job download process runs faster now, and no longer requires pop-ups to be enabled.
• You can now “clone” connectors across the same environment
• Jupyter notebooks run on Python 3.10 if you use our V3 job executor.
• The widget custom mapping tab text can now be customized

Jobs and stability:

• A new environment setting to retrigger jobs automatically when they hit memory limits

• When a catalog’s size surpasses AWS API Gateway’s max limits, it is now trimmed to a “lite” version in API responses. The full catalog is still used by syncs and ETL scripts.

• Added code coverage and mock classes for Salesforce Apex triggers and classes

• Google sheets discovery is now up to 12x faster in the widget.

• We added new CLI functions and API endpoints, including:

  • CLI: `hotglue tenants custom-etl` to find tenants with forked ETLs
  • API: `PATCH /linkedConnectors` for updating v2 flow configs

See you next month! 👋

Welcome to our year-in-review 2023 hotglue melt!

To those who’ve been around for a while, thank you for building your integrations on hotglue.

You make hotglue a better product with your feedback, and we’re always excited to see the creative ways you put hotglue to use.

As we begin the new year, we wanted to take a brief moment to look at how hotglue has changed over the last year. As always, feel free to reach out in Slack with your questions and suggestions for 2024!

2023 hotglue in summary 📋

Our integrations team built 83 open-source connectors. That included support for 61 net new SaaS and on-premise applications.

hotglue jobs are now much faster, thanks to a rebuilt runtime and deployment pipeline.

We added new modules across the admin panel, including the Jobs, Errors, White-Label, Connector Settings, and Environment Variables features.

Our new bi-directional flows make reading and writing data with your customers’ integrations dead-simple.

The hotglue team built a new Singer target SDK, making for simple, transparent exports to our most popular SaaS connectors.

Bi-directional flows↔️

Before 2023, hotglue flows always consisted of a linked source and a linked target. This made for dead-simple setups when you only needed to move data in one direction.

However, bi-directional integrations where you need to consistently read and write data were not simple to set up in hotglue: you needed two separate flows with symlinked credentials.

Now, with hotglue bi-directional “V2” flows, this is supported out of the box. Rather than thinking about target flows, `linkedSources`, and `linkedTargets`, every integration that a customer links in a V2 flow is simply a connector.

Bi-directional flows come with a new set of “V2” endpoints. If you’re not already using V2 flows, you can try them out by creating a new flow, and leaving the “bi-directional” toggle turned on. Let us know if you want to discuss migrating your existing flows over!

New tools in your dashboard🖥️

In 2023, we pushed some major updates to how you use the hotglue admin panel. You may have noticed the new jobs and errors panels, but there are other features spread through your dashboard that you may find useful:

• Connector Settingsallows you to define granular settings for your connectors, like the fields exposed in the widget, default config values, and the `install_uri` for custom git branches.
• Environment variables allow you to add additional variables for you to use in your ETL scripts on the fly, such as API URLs, flags, and keys.
• The Jobs panel lets you run fine-grained searches for jobs.
• The Errors panel gives you an overview of the most common errors affecting your tenants.
• The Tenant Drawer allows you to view and edit settings for your tenant, including the `tenant-config`, tenant metadata like org names, job schedules, and job history.
• White-label settings lets you customize the OAuth page, including your callback URI, logos, background colors, and loading text.
• We also added a host of environment settings, including more options for job failure recovery and Slack and Heap job monitoring.

Faster jobs: a new job executor and connector deployment pipeline🕐

Last year, we frequently heard that you wanted jobs to kick off and run faster. We rebuilt our job runtime from the ground up with that in mind. The new version of the executor has two main benefits:

1. Faster builds for discovers and jobs - Jobs and discovers spend 60% less time queuing up, which means less time stuck in JOB_STARTED.
2. More flexibility with python versions - Our V3 executor defaults to Python 3.10. This is now much more customizable if you have specific version requirements.

We also re-designed our connector deployments using Jenkins, which removes dependency installation from the job runtime.

You can check which executor your jobs use by parsing your job status webhooks. If the `task_definition.id` shows `hotglue-executor-v3`, you’re using our modernized architecture!

Hotglue’s new SDK for writing Singer targets🎯

The main challenge with using Singer targets has historically been understanding which records were created, and where validations happened. Traditional Singer targets either succeed (data probably loaded in) or fail (some data may have been loaded in, but not all of it). Hotglue’s new target SDK is designed to fix this.

The root concept in Hotglue’s target SDK is the `target_state`. The target state contains important data about what the target did, including:

• How many records were created, updated, or failed to load
• The success or failure codes for each record, and the new `id` from the target system, if returned.
• Failure messages for records that didn’t go through

In 2023, we built or upgraded 32 targets using hotglue’s target SDK. If you’re using a target that isn’t on this list yet, let us know! It may already be in our pipeline:

• Quickbooks
• Freshbooks
• Salesforce
• API
• Zoho Inventory
• Sendgrid
• Jira
• Salesforce Commerce
• Lob
• Montapacking v2
• Exact
• Picqer
• Xero v3
• Etsy
• Squarespace
• Constantcontact
• Aturian
• Odoo v3
• Sage300
• Dynamics Onprem
• Brevo
• Magento v2
• Keap
• Shipbob
• Dynamics BC Onprem
• Brikl
• BigCommerce
• Restaurant365
• Zendesk
• Zohobooks v2
• Precoro

Widget improvements🔧

If you’re not using the widget or not using many widget features, you may have missed the updates we’ve been shipping all year: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@hotglue/widget?activeTab=versions

Note for React users: At the time of writing, the current version of @hotglue/widget is v1.4.46. You may need to update your widget version to access some of these features.

• Subtenants are now native to the widget, which you can enable in your widget settings. When turned on, your users can link multiple instances of the same integration.
• Your custom field mappingpage has a host of new features, including required tables and fields, multiple mappings per table, and localization.
• For those looking for a more custom workflow in the widget, we’ve added many new listeners, filters, and nextStep workflow actions across the widget.
• You can also now define more widget and connection behavior by passing values directly in your frontend code, including tenant metadata, dynamic OAuth parameters, and localization text.

Hi hotgluers!

Welcome to our monthly hotglue melt - we have got some awesome updates to share!

Product Updates 🚀

New bi-directional flows 🔃

We're excited to announce a new way to set up your flows. Instead of connecting to "sources" or "targets," your users can now connect to any available "connector" in the dashboard and run jobs both ways for that tenant.

Bi-directional flows are enabled by default for new users. Let us know if you're already using hotglue and want to try out these new flows.

Subtenants in the widget 🤝

Also released this past month, you can now create multiple connections to the same connector using "subtenants." This can be used for customers with multiple shops, or parent companies with multiple business entities.

Product Updates 🚀

New tenant drawer 👥

With the new tenant drawer, you can now access metadata, schedules, job history, snapshots, and more straight from the dashboard. This gives you fine-grained visibility into tenant configurations without having to touch the API.

Hi hotgluers!

Welcome to our monthly hotglue melt - we have got some awesome updates to share!

Product Updates 🚀

Real-time Job Triggers ⚡

We have officially launched support for real-time triggers for several integrations, including: Salesforce, HubSpot, and Shopify. Triggers allow you to automatically run sync jobs when something happens in a source system. For example, as soon as a new contact is created in HubSpot or Salesforce, hotglue will receive a webhook on your behalf, and trigger a job.

We are rapidly expanding support based on demand – let us know if there are any you are interested in!

Mapping in the Widget 🔌

We have added support for allowing tenants to do simple mappings of their data in the widget. This works for both source flows, where you want tenants to map to your own data schema (for example, a tenant could map a custom Salesforce object to your Contact schema), and for target flows, where you want tenants to map their data in your product to a target.

To learn more or try this beta feature, reach out to us at hello@hotglue.xyz. Public documentation is coming soon!

Detailed Job Metrics 📊

While sync jobs run, hotglue will automatically track the number of records collected for every stream in real time. This allows you to have more visibility into a particular sync and its progress! This data is also made available via the API. See a sample below:

New integrations ⚙️

In September, our integrations team added new taps for FTP, MooSend, PostHog, MySQL, Jotform, and Sellsy. Additionally, we added new unified schema targets for MooSend, WooCommerce, ActiveCampaign, Sage Intacct, and Dynamics 365 Business Central.

• Launched new landing pages describing our unified schema features!

  • Also updated footer to include more categories from our integrations library

• Added ability to Clone Flows to other environments

• Added ability to store a "snapshot" of reference data required for targets to optimize their runtime. Currently available for target NetSuite, and will be coming to other targets soon!

• Updated notification emails for improved look & feel

  • Job failure alerts will now include summary error messages to provide more information

• Added option to allow tenants to trigger full sync jobs in the widget

Hey hotgluers! We've been super busy over the last few weeks, and we're excited to share our updates!

Recipes 👩‍🍳

Many users have benefited from having a starting point when creating a new integration. To that end, we're excited to announce a brand new recipes feature!

When you head into the settings page for certain sources, you'll find a new recipes section which allows you to use one of our prebuilt configurations. Currently, recipes include pulling contacts and contact lists from CRMs like Salesforce, and pulling tickets/issues from systems like Asana and GitHub.

You can check out a short demo of this feature below!

Outside of that, here are all the updates:

• HackerNews launch with open sign up

• Recipes for CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot) and Issue Systems (GitHub, GitLab), with more coming! 👩‍🍳

• Major UX overhaul including:

  • Updated field map interface with performance improvements and emphasis on search

    • Catalog of available objects from each source, now allows you to browse the entire selection directly from hotglue!
    • Field editor on each object is now searchable and easier to navigate

  • Sources page is now segmented into specific categories, and has many performance improvements

• Added support for tap GitHub and ActiveCampaign 🎉 – with many more integrations on the way

• Bug fixes on target Xero
