How the BigQuery integration works

Sylus authenticates to BigQuery with a Google Cloud service account that has read-only roles. It lists the projects and datasets the account can see, reads table schemas, and runs queries only against the datasets you select.

Frequently asked questions

Is the BigQuery integration read-only?

Yes. Sylus only reads data from BigQuery. It never creates, edits, or deletes anything in your account, and you choose exactly which data it can access.

How long does it take to connect BigQuery to Sylus?

Under 20 minutes. Connect BigQuery with read-only access, choose the data Sylus can see, then ask your first question in plain English.

Do I need SQL or a data team to analyze BigQuery data?

No. Ask questions about your BigQuery data in plain English and Sylus returns answers, charts, and dashboards. When Sylus runs SQL, it shows the query behind every result so your data team can check it.

Is my BigQuery data secure in Sylus?

Yes. Sylus is SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliant, and permission levels control which BigQuery data each person or team can see. Permissions are enforced on every query, not left to the AI.

Can I get scheduled reports and alerts from BigQuery?

Yes. Turn any question about your BigQuery data into a report that lands in your inbox or Slack daily, weekly, or monthly, and get an alert when a metric spikes or drops.

Can I combine BigQuery with my other tools in Sylus?

Yes. Connect as many sources as you need and put charts from BigQuery next to charts from your CRM, finance, and marketing tools on the same dashboard.
