Read the same tables
Polytomic connects to the database Metabase queries, so figures match.
Metabase
Polytomic connects the database behind Metabase to your SaaS tools for reverse ETL. Because Metabase queries a database or data warehouse, Polytomic can read the same tables your questions read and sync the results into Salesforce, HubSpot, and dozens of other tools, without writing code.
Questions into action

How it works
Metabase is a query and visualization layer. Your data lives in the database or data warehouse underneath it, whether that is Postgres, MySQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, or something else. Polytomic connects to that same database, so anything you can answer with a Metabase question is available to sync out.
In practice people prototype the logic as a Metabase question, then move that SQL into a Polytomic model against the same database and map its columns onto the tool that needs them. The answer ends up on the record someone is already looking at.
- Connect the database or data warehouse Metabase queries
- Prototype the logic as a Metabase question if that is easier
- Recreate it as a Polytomic model against the same database
- Map model columns onto fields in your SaaS tools
- Choose write mode and identity matching per destination
- Monitor sync health, record volume, and failures from one interface
How to set up
Setup is a database connection rather than a Metabase connection. Point Polytomic at the same database Metabase queries, ideally with a dedicated read only role, and build models over the tables your questions use.
How to get connected
- 1Identify the database or data warehouse Metabase is connected to
- 2Create a read only role for Polytomic on that database
- 3In Polytomic, add that database as a connection
- 4Build a model using the same SQL logic as your Metabase question
- 5Map the model to a destination and choose identity matching
- 6Set a schedule and click Save
