The Unified E-commerce Hub: End Data Silos for Accurate Campaign ROI

Struggling to prove the true ROI of your influencer and marketing campaigns? Your data is scattered everywhere: website traffic in one dashboard, affiliate sales in another, coupon codes in Shopify, and engagement metrics on social media. Manually stitching this together in spreadsheets isn't just a time-sink—it's a recipe for errors, leading to flawed decisions about which campaigns are *actually* driving revenue.

This playbook provides a step-by-step guide to building a centralized 'E-commerce Operations Hub' using Airtable as your command center. By automatically syncing critical data from Shopify (orders, customers, coupon usage) and HubSpot (contacts, marketing activities), you create a single, reliable source of truth. This structured system connects all the dots, allowing you to see the complete customer journey and accurately calculate the ROI for every marketing initiative without manual data entry.

Expected Outcomes

  • Achieve a single, unified view of all sales, customer, and marketing campaign data.
  • Accurately calculate the true ROI of influencer and marketing campaigns by connecting spend to sales.
  • Eliminate hours of time-consuming, error-prone manual data compilation in spreadsheets.

Integration Logic

  • Coefficient

    This integration uses Coefficient as a central hub to connect and orchestrate data flow between Shopify, HubSpot, and Airtable. Typically, a user will pull data from sources like Shopify (e.g., Orders, Products, Customers) and HubSpot (e.g., Contacts, Deals, Companies) into a connected spreadsheet (like Google Sheets). Within this environment, the data can be blended, analyzed, and transformed using standard spreadsheet formulas or Coefficient's built-in features. The final, enriched dataset can then be pushed to Airtable to populate a custom dashboard or operational database. The syncs can be scheduled to run automatically, ensuring the data in Airtable is always up-to-date with the latest information from your e-commerce and CRM platforms. This also supports two-way sync, allowing updates in the spreadsheet to be pushed back to the source systems.
