Use Cases
Feed live data into Hub with the API
Almost every company stores valuable data about their users in CRMs (e.g. Salesforce), data warehouses (e.g. Snowflake), and analytics tools (e.g. Mixpanel). By syncing these data sources with Hub, your team can tap into that data to run research, enrich user profiles, and stay compliant.

Hub API Beta Program FAQ
What support can I expect from the User Interviews team?
The Hub API is still beta functionality and we understand you may run into some hiccups along the way. We are happy to help answer questions/concerns but are unable to support building for additional or custom use cases beyond what is described in the technical documentation at this time.
How much time will it take to set up the Hub API?
Setup can take anywhere from 1 to 2 days to 2+ weeks, depending on your use case, how you choose to implement, and the state of your data infrastructure. If your team is able to use the Census integration, setup generally takes less than a week.

For a more custom implementation, teams that have the technical resources to build their own integration are generally able to get a basic integration up and running in about 2 weeks—though for more advanced integrations, there’s practically no limit to how deeply you can integrate.
Who can use the Hub API?
The Hub API beta program is open to Research Hub users on all plans.
Can I send data from multiple tools to Research Hub?
Yes! When you set up a custom integration or Census integration, you can configure it to send data from multiple tools into Research Hub.
Can I send data from Research Hub to other tools?
No, the ability to send data from Research Hub to other tools is not currently available in beta, but is on our radar for the future. We’re currently collecting feedback to understand this need among our researchers.
Can I set up a data integration without needing to write code (or working with my data team)?
Yes! With our Zapier integration, you can use Zapier’s workflow automations to send data from 5000+ tools into Hub without writing any code. The only requirements are a Zapier subscription and basic technical understanding.

If you’re interested in using Census, our Census integration can be set up without developers, but requires writing a little bit of SQL.
Who should I contact with questions?
Please reference our API technical documentation or contact your customer success representative or api@userinterviews.com with questions.
