Kaivo is a fully managed data platform that syncs your Miro data into a Google BigQuery warehouse and keeps it up to date automatically. There is no pipeline to build and no infrastructure to run, so you can spend your time analysing your project management data instead of moving it.

What is the Miro connector

Sync your Miro board data into BigQuery with Kaivo to audit boards, items, and collaboration across your account.

Category	Project Management
Authentication	API key
Setup	Self-service

Getting started with the Miro connector

Sign up for Kaivo and create a workspace.
Connect your Miro account.
Choose which tables to sync.
Wait for the initial sync to finish.
Query your data in BigQuery or your favourite AI or BI tool.

Authenticating Miro

Authenticate with your Access Token.

Field	Description
Access Token	Your Miro access token. In Miro, go to Settings → Your apps, create an app, then use "Install app and get OAuth token" to generate it. See Miro's guide for details.

How the Miro sync works

After the first load, Kaivo keeps your BigQuery warehouse up to date for you. Where Miro supports it, each sync pulls only new and changed records so it stays fast; otherwise it refreshes the whole table. Every record keeps its original ID, so you won't get duplicate rows.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the initial sync take for Miro?

It depends on how much history is in your Miro account. Most initial syncs finish within minutes, while large accounts can take a few hours. After that, syncs only fetch new and changed records, so they're much faster.

Can I sync only some tables or columns?

Yes. You pick which tables to sync when you set up the connection and can change the selection later. Tables you don't select are never copied to your warehouse.

What happens when Miro's schema changes?

New fields are never added automatically. You choose which fields to sync, so data you haven't selected (sensitive personal data, for example) never lands in your warehouse. When a new field appears, it becomes available for you to add. What happens to removed or renamed fields depends on a table's sync mode: full-refresh tables always match what's currently in Miro, so dropped fields disappear, while incremental tables keep their existing columns and history, so an old field stays and newly added fields fill in over time.

Your data lives in your own Kaivo-managed BigQuery warehouse, so the most direct option is to delete or anonymise specific records right in BigQuery. If you delete data in Miro instead, full-refresh tables drop it on the next sync, while incremental tables keep it, so you would remove the row in BigQuery or ask us to run a full refresh. To remove everything, delete the Miro connector in Kaivo and all of its synced data is deleted with it.

Common use cases for Miro data

Board inventory

Use boards and board_items to document how many boards exist and how active they are.

Collaboration view

Join boards with board_users to see who works on what.

Content organisation

Use board_tags and board_groups to understand how boards are structured.

Activity reporting

Bring board data into BigQuery to report on usage next to your other tools.
