# Warehouse Destinations

# Overview

Warehouse destinations are pre-built connectors for destination platforms (email, SMS, push notifications) that activate data and deliver messages to the specified users.

# Redshift destination

Intempt’s Warehouse Destination with Amazon Redshift forwards all your incoming data to a Redshift cluster, allowing you to query the raw data directly.

To start sending your the data to the Redshift destination, you will need to configure it and create a data pipeline with Redshift warehouse as its destination.

# Redshift Database Setup

  1. CREATE A DATABASE AND SCHEMA Create your Redshift Database. Preferably, the database should be in the US region. Choosing a different region will increase latency between Intempt and Redshift.

Within your database, create a schema to store your data.

  1. CREATE GROUPS AND USERS TO MANAGE PERMISSIONS Once your database is ready, you need to create groups with permissions to read and write data to the database.
create group readwritegroup;
create group readonlygroup;

grant all on schema your_schema_nameto group readwritegroup;

Be sure to replace your_schema_name with your own name.

Intempt uses these groups to grant permissions for new tables it creates in the database. You must use the names readwritegroup and readonlygroup. You can also use these groups to control permissions for mParticle data in Redshift.

Create a user in each group. Intempt uses the dataloader user to create tables and write to the schema. The readonlyuser is used to run queries from the Intempt dashboard.

create user dataloader in group readwritegroup password 'Aabcde123!';

create user readonlyuser in group readonlygroup password 'Abcde123!';

# Data Tables

For every data item you send to a warehouse, Intempt will create a corresponding table. For example, if you send a data item, View Homepage to your warehouse, Intempt will create a table, view_homepage, and load all the View Homepage events into it. All event tables have the following fields, along with any custom properties you send along with it.
