It will take only a few minutes to connect and send your data to Heroku Postgres. Blendo makes it easy to send your transactional, marketing and sales data to any source from Google Sheets, to Google BigQuery, to MS SQL Server, or Amazon Redshift.

A Blendo Output is any destination that you want to send your data to.

5. Click Validate & Save.

Schema Selection

You can also select the Schema where the data will be stored to. This is something that is done during the setup of your data warehouse but instead during the creation of a pipeline. There you can select at which Schema the data from source will be stored at (with public schema as default).

Done that! Now What?

You may now connect data sources with it. Blendo will sync all your data from these data sources into your data warehouse.
