Importing Historical Web Tracking Data into Dreamdata
Your historical tracking data in platforms like Pardot, Hubspot, Segment, or Hockeystack holds invaluable insights into your customer journeys and past performance. However, this data is often fragmented, making it difficult to get a truly unified view.
Migrating this historical data into Dreamdata is a critical step to unlocking the platform's full potential from day one. By consolidating past touchpoints, you provide Dreamdata's attribution models with the rich context needed for accurate analysis, especially for longer B2B sales cycles. This ensures you don't lose valuable historical insights and can immediately start analyzing complete customer journeys, identifying long-term trends, and measuring the true impact of your efforts over time within a single, unified platform.
This guide will bring valuable historical data from these key sources into Dreamdata, preparing you for comprehensive revenue attribution and analysis. Its possible to use multiple methods simultaneously, for example, importing web tracking historical data from HubSpot while also using Google Sheet or similar.
