Build Data Flows from Miro to SQL Server using SSIS

Using SQL Server as a backup for critical business data provides an essential safety net against loss. Backing up data to SQL Server enables business users to more easily connect that data with features like reporting, analytics, and more.

This example demonstrates how to use the CData SSIS Tasks for Miro inside of a SQL Server SSIS workflow to transfer Miro data into a Microsoft SQL Server database.

Add the Components

To get started, add a new Miro source and SQL Server ADO.NET destination to a new data flow task.

Create a New Connection Manager

Follow the steps below to save Miro connection properties in a connection manager.

1. In the Connection Manager window, right-click and then click New Connection. The Add SSIS Connection Manager dialog is displayed.
2. In the Connection Manager type menu, select API. The CData Miro Connection Manager is displayed.
3. Configure connection properties.

   Using API Key Authentication

   Miro uses API Key authentication with an access token. To generate an access token:

   1. Log in to your Miro account
   2. Navigate to Settings > Your apps
   3. Click "Create new app" or select an existing app
   4. Configure the required permissions (e.g., boards:read, teams:read)
   5. Install the app and generate an access token
   6. Copy the generated access token (it will only be shown once)

   After obtaining your access token, set the following connection properties:

   • AuthScheme: Set this to APIKey.
   • APIKey: Set this to your access token.

   Connecting to Miro

   Once the authentication is configured, you can connect to Miro and query data from any of the available tables such as Boards, Items, Teams, Organizations, and more.

Configure the Miro Source

Follow the steps below to specify the query to be used to extract Miro data.

1. Double-click the Miro source to open the source component editor.
2. In the Connection Manager menu, select the connection manager previously created.
3. Specify the query to use for the data extraction. For example:

   SELECT , FROM Boards WHERE BoardId = '3074457361234567890'

4. Close the Miro Source control and connect it to the ADO.NET Destination.

Configure the SQL Server Destination

Follow the steps below to specify the SQL server table to load the Miro data into.

1. Open the ADO.NET Destination and add a New Connection. Enter your server and database information here.
2. In the Data access mode menu, select "table or view".
3. In the Table Or View menu, select the table or view to populate.
4. Configure any properties you wish to on the Mappings screen. 👁 The mappings from the SSIS source component to SQL Server. (Salesforce is shown.)
   

Run the Project

You can now run the project. After the SSIS Task has finished executing, your database will be populated with Miro data.
