Overview
Pendo customers can request read-only access to their product event data in a Pendo-managed Google BigQuery instance. Pendo captures critical product event data at a granular level and makes it available for analytics, segmentation, and guide targeting. While the Pendo application is suitable for most use cases, sometimes it is desirable to have access to the entire record of every event with millisecond precision. This event data can then be combined with other data sources to drive critical business insights.
More information is available on the BigQuery integration page on the Pendo website.
