Hazel answering a Northbeam attribution question

Hazel is an AI coworker that connects to your Northbeam account and answers business questions about your marketing attribution the way an analyst would. Once connected, Hazel ingests your campaign-level and ad-level performance, the attribution models Northbeam computes (Northbeam custom, last-click, and the rest), your attribution windows (1-day click, 7-day click, and others), and the full metric catalog (spend, attributed revenue, CPO, ROAS, orders), then refreshes daily. Ask Hazel about CPO by campaign on Meta, how 7-day-click accrual revenue compares to platform-reported numbers, or where Northbeam-modeled performance diverges most from what each platform claims, and you get an answer with the numbers behind it. Hazel joins Northbeam to your Shopify orders and your ad platforms, so you can reconcile Northbeam-modeled performance against platform-reported numbers and against Shopify-truth revenue, by attribution model and window, in one conversation.

What Hazel does

Hazel ingests your Northbeam data and answers business questions conversationally:

  • Campaign performance: spend, attributed revenue, CPO, ROAS, and orders by campaign, platform (Meta, Google, TikTok, Snap, and more), status, and reporting date, so you can roll performance up to any level you want
  • Ad performance: the same metrics at the ad and adset level, so you can find your best and worst creative without exporting a report
  • Attribution models: every model Northbeam computes (Northbeam custom, last-click, and others), so you can ask the same question through different lenses and see where the answers part ways
  • Attribution windows: 1-day click, 7-day click, and the rest, with the accounting mode behind each number, so window-specific questions (1-day click CPO, 7-day click accrual revenue) are one prompt
  • Metric catalog and breakdowns: the full set of Northbeam metrics (CPO, ROAS, spend, attributed revenue) and dimensional breakdowns, queryable without learning where each one lives in the dashboard
  • Cross-source reconciliation: Hazel pairs Northbeam with Shopify orders and your ad platforms (Meta Ads, Google Ads, TikTok Ads) so you can compare Northbeam-modeled numbers against platform-reported numbers and against Shopify-truth revenue in the same answer

Hazel keeps the full historical record, so model-over-model and window-over-window trend analyses are one prompt.

Real questions, real answers

These are the kinds of questions Hazel answers about your Northbeam data:

  • "Add 1-day click CPO to my ad-performance breakdown so I can see it next to spend and orders."
  • "Compare Northbeam CPO for our prospecting campaigns vs. the rest of our ads on Meta this month."
  • "Why is the gap between Northbeam CPO and platform-reported CPO so much larger for some campaigns than others?"
  • "Show Meta, YouTube, and Snap spend for last month alongside Northbeam 7-day-click accrual revenue for those ads."
  • "Which attribution model gives the highest ROAS for our top campaign, and how far apart are Northbeam custom and last-click?"
  • "Reconcile Northbeam attributed revenue against Shopify net revenue for the same period, by platform."
  • "Rank our ads by Northbeam ROAS this quarter and flag the ones where modeled revenue is way ahead of platform-reported."
  • "How does CPO move when I switch from a 1-day click window to a 7-day click window across our paid channels?"
How your data flows
How Northbeam data flows through Hazel
How it works

How Hazel connects to Northbeam. Hazel connects through Northbeam's data API using credentials you authorize. There is nothing to install in your ad accounts and no manual export to schedule. Once the connection is live, Hazel begins ingesting your performance and attribution data automatically.

What syncs. Campaign-level and ad-level performance (spend, attributed revenue, CPO, ROAS, orders, and the rest of the metric catalog), the attribution models Northbeam computes, your attribution windows and the accounting mode behind each, and Northbeam's dimensional breakdowns. Performance lands in long format with reporting date, platform, status, model, and window attached, so you can pivot from a platform total down to a single ad.

How often. Daily, automatically.

How attribution windows work. Northbeam reports the same campaign or ad through multiple attribution models and windows at once. Hazel keeps each combination distinct, so a question about 1-day click CPO and a question about 7-day click accrual revenue return different numbers from the same ad, and you always know which model and window produced a figure.

Auth. Hazel connects via Northbeam's data API with credentials you authorize. Hazel only reads your data. It never writes back to your Northbeam account.

MCP access

Looking for a Northbeam MCP for analytics? Northbeam ships its own API and data exports for getting performance and attribution data out of the platform. Those are great if you want to pull Northbeam data into your own warehouse and write the analysis logic yourself.

Hazel sits between your Northbeam data and your team's questions. Hazel is not another attribution model. It is the AI layer that reads your Northbeam data and joins it with your other sources (Shopify, Meta Ads, Google Ads, TikTok Ads), then answers business questions across all of them in plain English. Rather than wiring an LLM directly to Northbeam's API and reconciling models, windows, and platform-reported numbers by hand, you ask the question and Hazel works it the way an analyst would, with the attribution model and window made explicit in the answer.

Hazel MCP. Hazel also exposes its own MCP endpoint, so your team can connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible agent directly to Hazel's analytical store. Book a call to set it up.

Frequently asked questions

Does Hazel work with Northbeam?

Yes. Hazel connects to your Northbeam account through Northbeam's data API and ingests campaign and ad performance, attribution models, attribution windows, and the full metric catalog (CPO, ROAS, spend, attributed revenue, orders) across Meta, Google, TikTok, Snap, and your other platforms.

Is Hazel another attribution model?

No. Hazel does not compute its own attribution. It reads the models Northbeam already computes (Northbeam custom, last-click, and the rest) and answers questions across them, then joins those numbers to your Shopify orders and your ad platforms so you can reconcile modeled performance against platform-reported and Shopify-truth revenue.

How is Hazel different from Triple Whale?

Triple Whale, like Northbeam's own dashboards, is an attribution-first product you log into and read. Hazel is the AI coworker on top of your data. It reads your Northbeam attribution, your Shopify orders, and your ad platforms, then answers cross-source business questions in plain English. You do not learn a dashboard or pick a view in advance. You ask the question and Hazel works it across every source you have connected.

How often does Hazel pull data from Northbeam?

Daily.

Will Hazel write data back to my Northbeam account?

No. Hazel only reads. We never write to your Northbeam account or change any setting.

Why does Northbeam CPO differ from what the platform reports?

Northbeam computes modeled, multi-touch attribution, which often disagrees with the last-click numbers each ad platform reports for itself. Hazel keeps both numbers and shows them side by side, so you can see exactly where and why the gap is largest, by campaign, platform, model, and window.

Can Hazel compare attribution models and windows?

Yes. Hazel ingests every model and window Northbeam computes, so you can ask the same CPO or ROAS question through Northbeam custom vs. last-click, or through a 1-day click vs. 7-day click window, and see how far the answers move.

Can Hazel reconcile Northbeam against Shopify and the ad platforms?

Yes. This is the most common pattern. Hazel joins Northbeam-modeled performance to Shopify net revenue and to platform-reported numbers from Meta Ads, Google Ads, and TikTok Ads, so you can compare all three in a single answer.

Is my Northbeam data safe with Hazel?

Hazel connects with read-only access using credentials you authorize. We never write to your account. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and Hazel does not share your data with other customers or use it for model training.

How much does Hazel cost?

Hazel is a flat annual fee with unlimited seats and unlimited connectors, no per-seat or per-source pricing. Pricing details.
