I have been looking at Social Tables and Salesforce Integration. I did a thorough analysis of out-of-the-box (OOTB) integration capability of Social Tables for Salesforce, however the integration process does not seem to suit our needs.
I came across a post where I got some information about API integration. There, I saw that API endpoint required to get guests included the guestlist_id. The question is, how would the API endpoint look like if I plan to fetch the guestlist on the basis of a custom field on an event in Social Tables. If I pass the Campaign Id when importing guests from Salesforce to Social Tables as a custom field, can I use that field for fetching guests through API?
We currently don't have support for querying against custom/metadata fields. This is something I will pass to our product team. But unfortunately we don't currently support it.

We want to save in our database (custom-developed shop with C# and ASP.NET) where our customers came from to improve our marketing strategies, so:
Is it possible to send google analytics data to the eCommerce server while performing a checkout?
You need to enable the ecommerce option on your google analytics dashboard.
Then, enter the tracking code on the purchase confirmation page.
You can consult the link below:
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1009612?hl=en
It is also possible to identify the user's origin to improve their marketing campaigns. Just follow this:
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033173?hl=en
The Real Time Reporting API enables you to request real time data—for example, real time activity on your property.
However you can extract information such as pages and events, not ecommerce data. Therefore you should make sure to track the checkout funnel so that the information is within an event (with category, action and label). At that point you can use the API I indicated.
Long time ago, I took and passed the Google Analytics IQ certification test. At the time, I don't believe there were such things as Core Reporting API, Management API, and Metadata API (and probably some other Google Analytics related API's that I don't know about). Now that I am going through the Google Analytics IQ certification training course again (provided by Google, presented by Justin Curtoni?? I believe that's his name), I found that they now have Core Reporting API, Management API, and Metadata API.
I am a computer programmer by trade; so, I have no problem with programming using these API's. However, what I don't understand is, what do these API's buy me that the Google Analytics UI cannot offer? There is no reason to write a program that utilizes these API's simply because I can do it. To me, the existing Google Analytics UI has a lot of tools, reports, and other features that quite extensive. I am hoping that some of you can help me see something that I am probably missing.
The APIs are primarily for programmatic access. For example, if you need to create 1000 accounts all with the same property/view structure and then maybe add a few view filters to each of those accounts, you'll probably want to use the Management API. Doing that by hand would be a nightmare.
The same thing is true for the reporting API. Maybe you want to set up task that runs every monday morning and reports on the previous weeks data. And maybe you want to display that data on an internal dashboard for your company using some fancy charting library. You'd have to use the API to get the data.
Dashboards (executive summaries; managers often want nice visualizations instead of boring drill-downs)
Custom reports for user groups that do not have a Google Account or are not supposed to have access to full reports (e.g. Affiliates)
advanced filtering and aggregation (GA report cannot do everything)
You can combine analytics data with external data (e.g. you are not allowed to store personally identifiable information within GA; but you might store a custom key that allows you to link analytics data to customer data from you CRM or fulfillment system)
Machine-to-machine communication; I once did tracking for an airline that needed trend data on what people where searching for and what they where actually booking; that data was used to allocate/withdraw resources from busy/lame flights, and part of this was done by hooking up GA to their backend system
Take a look at the GA Partner Page. I would say the primary reason is to "liberate" GA Data from outside of GA itself. As Eike mentions, you can create dashboards and combine this data with other sources for a complete "View" of your online presence.
HI I guess there is no definite answer. Here are some things you can do with the APIs:
Automating AdWords CRO based on keyword ad and campaign performance.
Scoring leads based on Analytics data (Engagement with different items) and external data from a CRM.
Collecting unsampled data using multiple daily queries
Filtering using several dimension.
Tracking conversions for periods longer than supported by AdWords.
Looking at a funnel via segments
Analyzing funnels with non-linear structures
Create more robust alerts
Export data to BigQuery and analyse it together with data from other systems.
Create Machine learning apps for behavioural customizing your site.
Create a dashboard with data from multiple views
Use product recommendation to implements "better together" in an online store.
Automate creation of accounts and properties + their integration in a Hosting provider's console.
Cheers!!
Im looking to use Google Adwords Keyword tool data on a website. Ive been looking around in the API and I cant find much to match what I need. I noticed a lot of keyword research tool websites use google as their main source for their information. How would I go about doing this and extracting the data and have it run on a website automatically so it wouldnt need to be updated manually each month?
you can use the Traffic Estimator service in the AdWords API:
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/TrafficEstimatorService
Be warned that this is notoriously inaccurate (which is odd given that you would think Google had its own data to call upon!)
I use the TargetingIdea service in the AdWords API to generate lists of keywords to use for building AdWords campaigns. (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/TargetingIdeaService.TargetingIdea)
First off you need an API key - they're not that easy to get and your app needs to offer a whole lot of features to meet the required minimum functionality - take a look here https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/requirements
Once you've jumped over that hurdle you get the data from Google by sending a request to the service. That request includes some targeting criteria like location and language and also a "seed" keyword. You can also specify if you want closely related results or broadly related results.
For example if you sold tractors you'd put 'tractors' in as a seed keyword and then the API would return either closely related terms like 'tractors for sale', 'used tractor spares' etc or more broadly related terms like 'agricultural machinery'.
Hi
I am currently working on an application which is implementing salesforce.com REST api. I have done all the authentication part and received all the info needed. Now I want my application to push the leads into the customer's account. But the lead fields can be customized and different customer use their different custom fields, so any1 can suggest me how to add that custom field in my form which will be pushed to the customer's salesforce account.
Thanks
You can use the describe resource in the REST API to obtain the metadata about the Load object, including all the fields.
https://{someinstance}.salesforce.com/services/data/v20.0/sobjects/lead/describe
You can use the list of fields to drive your form, and to control what you subsequently POST to /services/data/v20.0/sobjects/lead to create the new lead.
Here's the link to the REST API pilot docs incase you haven't seen them
No idea if the REST API supports describe() calls, they're a way of querying for all metadata about table (columns, their types etc). In normal webservice API this info can be found at http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/index_Left.htm#StartTopic=Content/sforce_api_calls_describesobject.htm#topic-title
the Metadata REST API was put on hold by Salesforce, so there is no REST API for Metadata (there is some limited support in the Tooling REST API, but not enough to create an object).

Yahoo's BOSS API allows one to query the Yahoo search database and return values back to the calling program for extraction and usage. Does Google offer a similar tool or API for developers?
I understand that Yahoo BOSS is set to begin charging for queries in excess of 10k per day and I have a shipping plugin which pulls data on demand from this engine, so I'm looking to allow the end user to choose their search provider in order that I can spread the risk.
Yes it does. JSON/Atom Custom Search API
Yes - the google custom search API. There was once a SOAP API, but it is deprecated now.
