10 00:00:30.630 00:00:43.280 Awaish Kumar: Waiting for… Mostify thing, but yeah, we can start with, some of them… We could be looking at…

11 00:00:43.580 00:00:51.819 Awaish Kumar: Okay, yeah, so… as of just, like, this… today’s Friday, so everybody, please.

12 00:00:53.880 00:00:56.220 Awaish Kumar: Make sure to lock your hours.

13 00:00:56.800 00:01:00.680 Awaish Kumar: Before 3 p.m. Eastern.

14 00:01:03.550 00:01:04.470 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

15 00:01:06.150 00:01:06.840 Demilade Agboola: Okay.

16 00:01:08.240 00:01:08.860 Awaish Kumar: Sweet.

17 00:01:09.290 00:01:13.509 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, and

18 00:01:16.780 00:01:24.209 Awaish Kumar: Oh… Okay, yeah, we are starting with Magic’s phone, so, Neme, you wanna go, like.

19 00:01:24.530 00:01:27.360 Awaish Kumar: Like, today’s the end of the week, so…

20 00:01:27.900 00:01:32.820 Awaish Kumar: Can you summarize your, like, the deliverables of this week, and…

21 00:01:32.980 00:01:38.610 Awaish Kumar: Then maybe that you can also use to send updates to your client.

22 00:01:40.850 00:01:48.600 Demilade Agboola: So the deliverable of the week was basically trying to get the Spins API data, QA’d.

23 00:01:49.040 00:01:57.170 Demilade Agboola: Unfortunately, in the process of interacting with the team, they wanted more data than we originally loaded, so we’ve had to go back and do that.

24 00:01:57.490 00:02:00.700 Demilade Agboola: And we’ve also…

25 00:02:01.130 00:02:06.469 Demilade Agboola: had to, like, work on, like, the dbt dock, as well as optimizing, like, dbt uptime.

26 00:02:07.330 00:02:14.610 Demilade Agboola: In terms of that, we should be able to send over the doc today, while uptime will probably, like, spill over into next week.

27 00:02:15.190 00:02:19.409 Demilade Agboola: Ultimately, in terms of just, like, general client feedback.

28 00:02:19.600 00:02:25.280 Demilade Agboola: They seem pretty fine. What we’ve done, we have a meeting with them right after this meeting.

29 00:02:25.600 00:02:31.010 Demilade Agboola: And so far, we’ve tried to be in their faces about what we’re doing.

30 00:02:32.260 00:02:38.479 Demilade Agboola: Potentially areas in which they can help, so they are in the loop of, like, whatever issues or delays we’re having.

31 00:02:38.640 00:02:39.779 Demilade Agboola: It thinks.

32 00:02:41.710 00:02:42.460 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

33 00:02:43.140 00:02:47.730 Awaish Kumar: So yeah, I would love to close this prefect pipe pipeline. It has been,

34 00:02:48.400 00:02:51.800 Awaish Kumar: Like, I know that we are working constantly on it.

35 00:02:52.060 00:02:56.239 Awaish Kumar: But yeah, maybe somehow we should sit together.

36 00:02:56.450 00:02:57.720 Awaish Kumar: To finalize it.

37 00:03:01.260 00:03:05.080 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, apart from that… I think, all good here.

38 00:03:09.030 00:03:11.610 Awaish Kumar: We can move on to CTA.

39 00:03:12.520 00:03:17.040 Awaish Kumar: So, yeah, I just bumped them on getting the access.

40 00:03:17.390 00:03:23.039 Awaish Kumar: So if I get access today, I… I can work on moving the data.

41 00:03:23.440 00:03:24.879 Awaish Kumar: To Snowflake.

42 00:03:26.640 00:03:29.689 Awaish Kumar: Apart from that, Other than any updates?

43 00:03:29.890 00:03:30.430 Awaish Kumar: Hold on.

44 00:03:30.430 00:03:34.110 Ashwini Sharma: No major updates, I’ve been working on loading the data.

45 00:03:34.260 00:03:37.519 Ashwini Sharma: from multiple folders into Snowflake tables, it’s kind of…

46 00:03:38.190 00:03:42.009 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, a lot of new files have been added since last time.

47 00:03:43.390 00:03:47.690 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I don’t know, Ashwini, if you are,

48 00:03:47.930 00:03:53.750 Uttam Kumaran: Prioritizing, like, a certain order, or are you just prioritizing Whatever it takes for…

49 00:03:54.700 00:03:58.070 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, just going one by one,

50 00:03:58.510 00:04:01.999 Ashwini Sharma: In whatever order, sorted order it comes in S3 bucket.

51 00:04:02.970 00:04:03.610 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

52 00:04:06.460 00:04:07.960 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

53 00:04:08.980 00:04:11.390 Awaish Kumar: So we are still on the engagement report.

54 00:04:12.520 00:04:13.490 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, yeah, that, that…

55 00:04:13.490 00:04:13.990 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

56 00:04:13.990 00:04:17.959 Ashwini Sharma: That will be modeled after we have the data available in Snowflake.

57 00:04:18.200 00:04:18.959 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

58 00:04:22.780 00:04:31.280 Awaish Kumar: Okay, yeah, so, like, today’s the end of week, so what are a few things we are sending out as updates to the client?

59 00:04:31.280 00:04:36.219 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so I actually spoke with Catherine for, like, 2 hours.

60 00:04:36.500 00:04:42.390 Uttam Kumaran: Yesterday, to kind of plan out, again, further, like, this…

61 00:04:42.690 00:04:49.310 Uttam Kumaran: year roadmap, so I have enough information, so I’m gonna go ahead and create a few linear projects.

62 00:04:49.460 00:04:58.060 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know, they’re… I think… I don’t know whether they’re gonna also use Asana, but either way, I’m gonna just try to create it on our side.

63 00:04:59.950 00:05:07.439 Uttam Kumaran: But the, really, the primary thing we need, Awash and Ashwini, is just to start to ETL every single major data source.

64 00:05:07.630 00:05:11.610 Uttam Kumaran: And the most important right now is to get,

65 00:05:12.500 00:05:20.030 Uttam Kumaran: the remembers data and the, salesforce marketing data into…

66 00:05:20.400 00:05:24.459 Uttam Kumaran: the system. So that’s, like, the number one and two priority right now.

67 00:05:24.970 00:05:29.240 Uttam Kumaran: So that we can start to model on top of that, and we can start to use live data sources.

68 00:05:30.300 00:05:36.979 Ashwini Sharma: Cool, yeah, sure, yesterday, I also had a session, a pretty long session, with Kyle.

69 00:05:37.350 00:05:45.170 Ashwini Sharma: He wanted to know how to load data and how to do dbt modeling on top of the newly loaded data, so I gave a session on that.

70 00:05:47.040 00:05:53.750 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, that was almost one and a half hours, something like that. I think you’ll reach out again for a similar session.

71 00:05:54.460 00:06:00.670 Awaish Kumar: Okay, yeah, looking forward to, like, having some more organized plan, like, the next week, we…

72 00:06:00.670 00:06:01.580 Uttam Kumaran: Again… Yes.

73 00:06:01.580 00:06:09.390 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, yesterday’s was a totally unorganized kind of thing. He just pinged me and then asked if I have some time to walk him through a dbt project.

74 00:06:10.260 00:06:16.099 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I have enough away. I’m gonna use… I’m gonna use Cursor today and help me create all the tickets for things.

75 00:06:17.950 00:06:22.280 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, in terms of element,

76 00:06:22.880 00:06:25.220 Awaish Kumar: I think we are still waiting on…

77 00:06:26.220 00:06:32.030 Awaish Kumar: analysis plan approval, and then, for Shopify.

78 00:06:32.200 00:06:36.980 Awaish Kumar: So, I have some time today to finalize Shopify stuff.

79 00:06:37.220 00:06:43.300 Awaish Kumar: And then we can… I have a ticket for you, like, Ashwini, if you can look at the… look at it, like, it’s…

80 00:06:43.890 00:06:46.450 Awaish Kumar: It’s modeling the immersion data.

81 00:06:48.570 00:06:52.519 Awaish Kumar: So maybe I can move it to next cycle, so in the next week, maybe.

82 00:06:53.270 00:06:53.940 Ashwini Sharma: Okay.

83 00:06:54.540 00:07:00.670 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I would say the priority, whatever, this week is just gonna be that Shopify Stuff.

84 00:07:02.820 00:07:03.810 Uttam Kumaran: For wholesale.

85 00:07:06.220 00:07:09.990 Awaish Kumar: And for shop, like, for wholesale, we kind of already…

86 00:07:11.190 00:07:17.909 Awaish Kumar: have, like, we have the base model and one summary view. I don’t think they have asked for any other

87 00:07:18.550 00:07:19.190 Awaish Kumar: Somebody…

88 00:07:19.190 00:07:23.150 Uttam Kumaran: Can we get it all hooked up into Google Sheets, and then I can review

89 00:07:23.530 00:07:27.260 Uttam Kumaran: So we want… I want to figure out the formatting, and then…

90 00:07:27.460 00:07:29.769 Uttam Kumaran: I want to ask for feedback, so…

91 00:07:31.430 00:07:37.759 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, like, doing it with polyatomic is… there’s just one problem, like, it will just throw there as a…

92 00:07:38.020 00:07:43.730 Awaish Kumar: raw columns, right? And columns and rows, right? We won’t have any…

93 00:07:45.180 00:07:48.510 Awaish Kumar: better formatting than just, like, what we can do in SQL.

94 00:07:50.270 00:07:56.230 Awaish Kumar: Like, the better… maybe we can have better names, and we can have… Data formatted?

95 00:07:56.430 00:08:02.310 Awaish Kumar: But things like, like, the… generating a nice table, or…

96 00:08:03.750 00:08:11.290 Awaish Kumar: converting something, some numbers to currency, or something like that, that we can’t do, because every day it will replace.

97 00:08:11.290 00:08:17.170 Uttam Kumaran: That’s fine, that’s fine. I’m not… I’m not worried about that. Like, I’m gonna do that on top of the data that lands there.

98 00:08:17.310 00:08:20.860 Uttam Kumaran: But I just wanna, if we can ship the end-to-end thing, I can review it.

99 00:08:21.770 00:08:23.779 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, that will be done today.

100 00:08:27.120 00:08:35.280 Awaish Kumar: Okay, and yeah, we already updated Gantt chart, we might… yeah, I think we can do it next week, a review again on this to…

101 00:08:35.480 00:08:41.820 Awaish Kumar: basically include everything from CX and… From different departments, right?

102 00:08:42.640 00:08:43.330 Uttam Kumaran: Yes.

103 00:08:48.980 00:08:53.240 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, I… I drafted a message yesterday,

104 00:08:53.640 00:09:01.860 Awaish Kumar: for getting the gorgeous data, I just noticed that there’s no connector for that in Polyatomic, so we also have to request that.

105 00:09:02.050 00:09:04.930 Awaish Kumar: So I will also draft a message for Polytomic.

106 00:09:05.600 00:09:13.360 Awaish Kumar: For that, and, and get, get API keys and stuff from CX team, like, Elements CX team.

107 00:09:17.460 00:09:20.809 Awaish Kumar: Okay. So, that’s it for Element.

108 00:09:22.280 00:09:29.160 Awaish Kumar: We don’t have anything on, I think, urban stems… Then we have ABC.

109 00:09:29.930 00:09:37.450 Awaish Kumar: For ABC, like, we… Got Evolve data, I already shared it with Amber, where is it?

110 00:09:37.450 00:09:39.819 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, Amber’s using it, so that’s great.

111 00:09:40.710 00:09:43.420 Awaish Kumar: And, yeah, so…

112 00:09:45.220 00:09:50.169 Awaish Kumar: That’s that, and then there, yeah, there is some data which Muswa is working on to move

113 00:09:50.330 00:09:53.820 Awaish Kumar: He needs help, but I didn’t actually get time to…

114 00:09:54.360 00:09:57.540 Awaish Kumar: To actually give him feedback on that, so maybe…

115 00:09:57.640 00:09:59.229 Awaish Kumar: I will look at that today.

116 00:10:01.220 00:10:03.799 Uttam Kumaran: I already, yeah, I looked at that, I shipped it, it was good.

117 00:10:04.220 00:10:04.900 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

118 00:10:08.250 00:10:13.079 Awaish Kumar: Okay, like, you mean those custom Google Sheets, right? You already gave feedback?

119 00:10:13.080 00:10:13.740 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

120 00:10:13.880 00:10:14.450 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

121 00:10:17.820 00:10:22.729 Awaish Kumar: So, all good. I just wanted to know, like, there are multiple projects in GCP for ABC?

122 00:10:22.830 00:10:26.330 Awaish Kumar: Like, did we create them? Like, why we need.

123 00:10:26.330 00:10:27.899 Uttam Kumaran: No, they created them.

124 00:10:31.270 00:10:33.000 Awaish Kumar: Like, for us, we just need one.

125 00:10:33.930 00:10:35.559 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, we just need one.

126 00:10:36.190 00:10:36.780 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

127 00:10:38.830 00:10:44.709 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, because, like, I don’t know, in one of the emails I just saw that we mentioned all three of them, I don’t know why.

128 00:10:45.750 00:10:47.659 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, again, I don’t know.

129 00:10:48.120 00:10:56.799 Uttam Kumaran: We just needed one for BigQuery, but we also are using multiple environments for the Andy agent, so…

130 00:10:58.330 00:11:04.080 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, like, but does that have to be in a separate GCP project, or…

131 00:11:04.350 00:11:07.510 Uttam Kumaran: It can be in the same one, right? We can have multiple services.

132 00:11:07.950 00:11:08.650 Awaish Kumar: for…

133 00:11:08.650 00:11:14.169 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, it’s probably… It’s probably more a question for Sam, I’m not sure.

134 00:11:15.150 00:11:16.410 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, okay.

135 00:11:21.800 00:11:27.659 Awaish Kumar: Okay, yeah, we, we, I think we can talk about it with Sam, but yeah.

136 00:11:28.930 00:11:33.140 Awaish Kumar: That’s all right, on ABC.

137 00:11:36.450 00:11:37.399 Uttam Kumaran: That’s right.

138 00:11:38.720 00:11:48.490 Awaish Kumar: Okay, okay, let’s move on. And then we have, default.

139 00:11:49.860 00:11:52.189 Awaish Kumar: Debbie, yeah, we can go.

140 00:11:54.630 00:11:59.520 Demilade Agboola: So for default, I think, like, things are in a pretty good spot.

141 00:11:59.700 00:12:05.499 Demilade Agboola: We… the dashboard has been done, so it’s part of what we’re going to show the client today.

142 00:12:05.830 00:12:12.729 Demilade Agboola: And then the general idea is we need to just push harder for…

143 00:12:12.890 00:12:20.909 Demilade Agboola: polyatomic signature, so we can start to set up the ETL pipeline. I think that’s the main blocker right now.

144 00:12:21.260 00:12:23.749 Demilade Agboola: But otherwise, things are in a good spot.

145 00:12:23.880 00:12:27.499 Demilade Agboola: And we are able to…

146 00:12:28.160 00:12:35.299 Demilade Agboola: Also, the revamping… Mustafa has done the revamping of the dataset for US vendors.

147 00:12:35.630 00:12:37.079 Demilade Agboola: I believe so, so…

148 00:12:37.340 00:12:38.330 Awaish Kumar: Okay, yeah.

149 00:12:39.250 00:12:45.150 Demilade Agboola: So yeah, ultimately, we’re in a good spot with them, and we just need… we’re also on… would…

150 00:12:45.420 00:12:47.049 Demilade Agboola: Push further in…

151 00:12:47.280 00:12:54.329 Demilade Agboola: instrumenting Amplitude with them, and showing them how to do it as well. So we would have two work streams, so Greg will come in from, like, next week.

152 00:12:55.410 00:12:56.100 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

153 00:12:56.430 00:12:57.020 Demilade Agboola: Man.

154 00:12:57.550 00:12:58.660 Awaish Kumar: Okay, so…

155 00:12:59.510 00:13:06.390 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, I think then it would be nice to see next week’s plan on Monday, because then you might have…

156 00:13:06.690 00:13:08.979 Awaish Kumar: you might be executing your ETL plan.

157 00:13:10.610 00:13:23.740 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, yeah, so next week should have a bunch of stuff as well. Hopefully we can get a confirmation from Caitlin about Polyatomic, and hopefully we can get them signed, maybe, like, Monday, Tuesday, next week.

158 00:13:23.960 00:13:26.419 Demilade Agboola: And so that would speed up a lot of processes.
