SurveyCTO to Mode Integration

How Datrise loads SurveyCTO into Mode

Datrise syncs SurveyCTO's form submissions, forms, fields, answers, enumerators, and submission timestamps into Mode as warehouse tables Mode queries with SQL. Flexible or custom fields land in flattened columns for SQL and notebooks, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as temporal columns.

Sync is incremental: Datrise uses incremental refresh of the queried tables, so re-runs update only what changed. Date-partitioned facts for report queries. Mode runs analyst-written SQL, so Datrise lands stable, documented tables that won't break saved reports.

Ideal for SQL-first analysis with Python and R notebooks.

Endpoints
