Connect Hightouch to clariBI with your API key to sync data-activation sync status, read-only, with auto-generated dashboards next to your business data. This is sync-operations data, not the customer data your syncs move.

What is Hightouch?

Hightouch is a reverse-ETL platform that activates data from your warehouse into the tools your teams use, running each mapping as a sync.

clariBI reads Hightouch through its REST API using your own API key: your syncs with their status, schedule, and last run time. This is sync-operations data (how your data activation is running), not the customer rows the syncs move. Access is read-only, and clariBI never edits or triggers a sync.

How to connect Hightouch

  1. Open Data Sources in clariBI. In clariBI, go to Data Sources → Add Data Source, find Hightouch, and paste your API key (Hightouch workspace settings, API keys). The key is Fernet-encrypted at rest.
  2. Choose what to sync. Pick the syncs resource to pull. clariBI reads it read-only.
  3. Sync, then get dashboards. clariBI syncs the sync status, preprocesses it, and builds an insights dashboard. Ask "How many of our syncs are healthy right now?" and the AI engine queries the synced status data.

What you can analyze

  • Syncs created over time
  • Syncs by status (healthy, pending, failed, disabled)
  • Active versus disabled syncs
  • Last run time across your syncs
  • Sync health lined up with releases or warehouse changes
  • Cross-source: sync health → downstream tool freshness → team activity

What gets synced

clariBI pulls your syncs through the Hightouch REST API, paginates the full list, lands it as a preprocessed dataset, and refreshes it on your schedule. Access is read-only.

clariBI syncs each sync with its created date, status, schedule, and last run time, then builds an insights dashboard you can query, extend, or pull into reports. This is sync-operations data, the health and cadence of your data activation, not the customer rows the syncs move.

clariBI only ever reads. It never edits or triggers a sync in Hightouch.

Questions across your other data

Once your records are synced, the AI engine can join them to the rest of your business data. A few examples:

PairingQuestionHow clariBI answers
Hightouch × Reliability"Is our sync failure rate getting worse?"Planner: read sync status over time from Hightouch, compute the share failing by week, and report the trend.
Hightouch × Releases"Did the warehouse change break any syncs?"Planner: read sync status from Hightouch, align to the change date, and flag syncs that started failing afterward.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to connect Hightouch?

Your Hightouch API key (workspace settings, API keys). You paste it into clariBI once; the key is Fernet-encrypted at rest.

Does this connector read the customer data my syncs move?

No. It reads sync-operations data: the status, schedule, and last run time of your syncs. It does not read the customer rows a sync moves, and it never edits or triggers a sync.

Which clariBI plans include Hightouch?

Every plan can connect Hightouch, within its data source limit: 3 on Free, 5 on Lite, 10 on Starter, 50 on Professional and 100 on Enterprise. Each source gets an automatic dashboard on every plan. Asking questions in plain English, AI reports and adding endpoints from the Hightouch catalog need the trial or a Starter, Professional or Enterprise plan.
