# Bring Product Data into Twenty

> Sync product catalog data from a data warehouse into your CRM on a schedule.

Use this pattern to keep Twenty in sync with product data from your data warehouse (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, PostgreSQL).

## Workflow Structure

1. **Trigger**: On a Schedule
2. **Code**: Query your data warehouse
3. **Code** (optional): Format data as array
4. **Iterator**: Loop through each product
5. **Upsert Record**: Create or update in Twenty

## Step 1: Schedule the Trigger

Set the workflow to run at a frequency matching your data freshness needs:

* Every 5 minutes for near real-time sync
* Every hour for less critical data
* Daily for batch updates

## Step 2: Query Your Data Warehouse

Add a **Code** action to fetch recent data:

```javascript theme={null}
export const main = async () => {
  const intervalMinutes = 10; // Match your schedule frequency
  const cutoffTime = new Date(Date.now() - intervalMinutes * 60 * 1000).toISOString();

  // Replace with your actual data warehouse connection
  const response = await fetch("https://your-warehouse-api.com/query", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      query: `
        SELECT id, name, sku, price, stock_quantity, updated_at
        FROM products
        WHERE updated_at >= '${cutoffTime}'
      `
    })
  });

  const data = await response.json();
  return { products: data.results };
};
```

<Tip>
  Filter by `updated_at >= last X minutes` to retrieve only recently changed records. This keeps the sync efficient.
</Tip>

## Step 3: Format Data (Optional)

If your warehouse returns data in a format that needs transformation, add another **Code** action. Common transformations include type conversions, field renaming, and data cleanup.

### Example: User Data with Boolean and Status Fields

```javascript theme={null}
export const main = async (params: {
  users: any;
}): Promise<object> => {
  const { users } = params;
  const usersFormatted = typeof users === "string" ? JSON.parse(users) : users;

  // Convert string "true"/"false" to actual booleans
  const toBool = (v: any) => v === true || v === "true";

  return {
    users: usersFormatted.map((user) => ({
      ...user,
      activityStatus: String(user.activityStatus).toUpperCase(),
      isActiveLast30d: toBool(user.isActiveLast30d),
      isActiveLast7d: toBool(user.isActiveLast7d),
      isActiveLast24h: toBool(user.isActiveLast24h),
      isTwenty: toBool(user.isTwenty),
    })),
  };
};
```

### Example: Product Data with Type Conversions

```javascript theme={null}
export const main = async (params: { products: any }) => {
  const products = typeof params.products === "string"
    ? JSON.parse(params.products)
    : params.products;

  return {
    products: products.map(product => ({
      externalId: product.id,
      name: product.name,
      sku: product.sku,
      price: parseFloat(product.price),        // String → Number
      stockQuantity: parseInt(product.stock_quantity),
      isActive: product.status === "active"    // String → Boolean
    }))
  };
};
```

### Example: Date and Currency Formatting

```javascript theme={null}
export const main = async (params: { deals: any }) => {
  const deals = typeof params.deals === "string"
    ? JSON.parse(params.deals)
    : params.deals;

  return {
    deals: deals.map(deal => ({
      ...deal,
      // Convert Unix timestamp to ISO date
      closedAt: deal.closed_timestamp
        ? new Date(deal.closed_timestamp * 1000).toISOString()
        : null,
      // Ensure amount is a number (remove currency symbols)
      amount: parseFloat(String(deal.amount).replace(/[^0-9.-]/g, "")),
      // Normalize stage names
      stage: deal.stage?.toLowerCase().replace(/_/g, " ")
    }))
  };
};
```

### Common Transformations

| Source Format        | Target Format    | Code                                     |
| -------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `"true"` / `"false"` | `true` / `false` | `v === true \|\| v === "true"`           |
| `"123.45"`           | `123.45`         | `parseFloat(value)`                      |
| `"active"`           | `"ACTIVE"`       | `value.toUpperCase()`                    |
| `1704067200` (Unix)  | ISO date         | `new Date(v * 1000).toISOString()`       |
| `"$1,234.56"`        | `1234.56`        | `parseFloat(v.replace(/[^0-9.-]/g, ""))` |
| `null` / `undefined` | `""`             | `value \|\| ""`                          |

## Step 4: Iterate Through Products

Add an **Iterator** action:

* Input: `{{code.products}}`

This loops through each product in the array.

## Step 5: Upsert Each Record

Inside the iterator, add an **Upsert Record** action:

| Setting      | Value                                  |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------- |
| **Object**   | Your custom Product object             |
| **Match by** | External ID or SKU (unique identifier) |
| **Name**     | `{{iterator.item.name}}`               |
| **SKU**      | `{{iterator.item.sku}}`                |
| **Price**    | `{{iterator.item.price}}`              |

<Tip>
  Use **Upsert** (update or create) instead of building separate branches for create vs. update. It's faster to build and easier to debug.
</Tip>

## Example Use Cases

| Source                  | Data                                |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| **ERP system**          | Product catalog, pricing, inventory |
| **E-commerce platform** | Orders, customers, product updates  |
| **Data warehouse**      | Aggregated metrics, enriched data   |
| **Inventory system**    | Stock levels, reorder alerts        |
