Instantly connect Metabase, use any BI tool. Combine SQL and low-code Python to integrate, automate and activate your data.
What this connector does, and why teams sync it to a warehouse
Metabase is the most popular open-source BI tool, used by thousands of startups and SMBs for its self-serve question-asking interface, dashboards, and SQL editor. It connects to warehouses and databases, so a clean upstream warehouse is essential. Peliqan pairs naturally with Metabase by handling the SaaS-to-warehouse data layer through managed connectors.
Peliqan brings ETL pipelines, data transformations and reverse ETL together in one integrated platform. Connect your favorite BI tool and activate your data with SQL and low-code Python.
Sync Metabase into a data warehouse with a few clicks, and start exploring your data in an easy spreadsheet.
Use SQL on Metabase to combine data, build custom reports and prepare data for your favorite BI tool such as Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, Qlik Sense, Looker or Metabase. ETL data pipelines are automatically created.
Explore data in a rich spreadsheet UI. Use Magical SQL to combine and transform data. SQL queries become new tables that can be shared with business users and used in any BI tool.
Use Peliqan’s built-in distributed query engine to combine data between sources, e.g. write JOIN queries between tables in the Peliqan DW and external databases.
Use your preferred BI tool (Power BI, Tableau, Metabase etc.) to visualize your Metabase data.
Deploy Metabase with a single click from the Peliqan Market Place and use Metabase in Metabase.
Sync with Google Sheets for easy data analysis from any source.
Connect your apps, then work with the data in a spreadsheet, in SQL, or in plain English. No pipelines to maintain.
Four more things teams do with Metabase data once it is in the warehouse.
Build intelligent AI Agents on top of Metabase, with Peliqan’s AI data foundation: Metabase MCP Server, Metabase in n8n AI Agents & Make, “Text to SQL” on Metabase data, Metabase RAG with out-of-the-box embeddings (vectors) and Metabase Graph RAG.

Peliqan connects to your SaaS business applications such as Metabase through APIs, using for example OAuth 2.0 or an API key for authentication. The connection is typically added in a few clicks. For OAuth connectors, you authorize Peliqan to access your data. You can choose which objects to sync, and the connector handles incremental updates from there (if available in this specific connector). No code, no middleware, and no IT tickets to file.
Peliqan typically syncs all standard objects from your business applications such as Metabase. Peliqan usually also syncs custom objects and custom fields. The connector adapts to schema changes without manual reconfiguration. Browse the full connector catalog to see related connectors and integrations.
Syncs can run up to every 15 minutes on the Pro plan, with custom schedules available on higher tiers. Sync mode is incremental where available, so only new and changed records are pulled, which keeps API call usage low and respects Metabase rate limits.
Yes. Peliqan's reverse ETL pushes data from your data warehouse back into selected business applications. Please check Peliqan's documentation for details on "writeback" availability for specific connectors such as Metabase, not all Peliqan connectors support reverse ETL/writeback. Reverse ETL is useful for syncing enriched scores, customer health metrics, billing data, or product usage signals into native Metabase fields. Reverse ETL flows can run on a schedule, on demand, or be triggered by SQL conditions. Read the reverse ETL documentation for setup details.
Once Metabase data lands in your data warehouse (such as Peliqan's built-in data warehouse or Fabric, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift or PostgreSQL), you can run SQL queries, build dashboards in Power BI, Tableau, Metabase, or Looker, combine it with data from other sources, feed it into AI agents through MCP servers, build Text-to-SQL and RAG workflows, or activate it through reverse ETL.
Peliqan also includes a built-in spreadsheet UI for ad hoc analysis without writing SQL.
Peliqan is SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR compliant, and ISO 27001 certified. Metabase credentials are stored encrypted at rest, all data transfers happen encrypted over TLS, and EU-resident data stays on EU infrastructure in the eu.peliqan.io region.
Connect Metabase to the rest of your stack and build the reports, dashboards and AI workflows your team needs.
