Outreach.io Icon Outreach.io ODBC Driver

The Outreach.io ODBC Driver is a powerful tool that allows you to connect with live data from Outreach.io, directly from any applications that support ODBC connectivity.

Access Outreach.io data like you would a database - read, write, and update Outreach.io 0, etc. through a standard ODBC Driver interface.

Replicate Outreach.io Data from PowerShell


Write a quick PowerShell script to query Outreach.io data. Use connectivity to the live data to replicate Outreach.io data to SQL Server.



The CData ODBC Driver for Outreach.io enables out-of-the-box integration with Microsoft's built-in support for ODBC. The ODBC driver instantly integrates connectivity to the real Outreach.io data with PowerShell.

You can use the .NET Framework Provider for ODBC built into PowerShell to quickly automate integration tasks like replicating Outreach.io data to other databases. This article shows how to replicate Outreach.io data to SQL Server in 5 lines of code.

You can also write PowerShell code to execute create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations. See the examples below.

Create an ODBC Data Source for Outreach.io

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

You must use OAuth to authenticate with Outreach. Set the InitiateOAuth connection property to "GETANDREFRESH". For more information, refer to the OAuth section in the Help documentation.

Connect to Outreach.io

The code below shows how to use the DSN to initialize the connection to Outreach.io data in PowerShell:

$conn = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection $conn.ConnectionString = "DSN=CData Outreach Source x64"

Back Up Outreach.io Data to SQL Server

After you enable caching, you can use the code below to replicate data to SQL Server.

Set the following connection properties to configure the caching database:

  • CacheProvider: The name of the ADO.NET provider. This can be found in the Machine.config for your version of .NET. For example, to configure SQL Server, enter System.Data.SqlClient.

  • CacheConnection: The connection string of properties required to connect to the database. Below is an example for SQL Server:

    Server=localhost;Database=RSB;User Id=sqltest;Password=sqltest;

The SQL query in the example can be used to refresh the entire cached table, including its schema. Any already existing cache is deleted.

$conn.Open() # Create and execute the SQL Query $SQL = "CACHE DROP EXISTING SELECT * FROM " + $Accounts $cmd = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand($sql,$conn) $count = $cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() $conn.Close()

The driver gives you complete control over the caching functionality. See the help documentation for more caching commands and usage examples. See the help documentation for steps to replicate to other databases.

Other Operations

To retrieve Outreach.io data in PowerShell, call the Fill method of the OdbcDataAdapter method. To execute data manipulation commands, initialize the OdbcCommand object and then call ExecuteNonQuery. Below are some more examples CRUD commands to Outreach.io through the .NET Framework Provider for ODBC:

Retrieve Outreach.io Data

$sql="SELECT Name, NumberOfEmployees from Accounts" $da= New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter($sql, $conn) $dt= New-Object System.Data.DataTable $da.Fill($dt) $dt.Rows | foreach { $dt.Columns | foreach ($col in dt{ Write-Host $1[$_] } }

Update Outreach.io Data

$cmd = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand("UPDATE Accounts SET Industry='Textiles' WHERE Id = @myId", $conn) $cmd.Parameters.Add(new System.Data.Odbc.OdbcParameter("myId","001d000000YBRseAAH") $cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

Insert Outreach.io Data

$cmd = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand("INSERT INTO Accounts SET Industry='Textiles' WHERE Id = @myId", $conn) $cmd.Parameters.Add(new System.Data.Odbc.OdbcParameter("myId","001d000000YBRseAAH") $cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

Delete Outreach.io Data

$cmd = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand("DELETE FROM Accounts WHERE Id = @myid", $conn) $cmd.Parameters.Add(new System.Data.Odbc.OdbcParameter("myId","001d000000YBRseAAH") $cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
