Request for Assistance with Custom Add-on Development for Excel-DOMO Integration

danielvds_ti

Dear DOMO Development Team,

I am Daniel, and I am currently leading a project at my company to develop a custom add-on for Excel, aimed at enhancing our analysts' interaction with DOMO. While we appreciate the existing DOMO Excel add-in, our specific needs require additional features, particularly in the area of data validation and secure integration of our Excel datasets with specific DOMO datasets. Our goal is to control the data upload process and avoid indiscriminate data submission by analysts.

To achieve this, we are developing a custom add-on that will be installed via our internal Microsoft 365 account. This add-on is designed to communicate with an internal API, which in turn utilizes the DOMO Python SDK for operations with our DOMO instance. We have made significant progress in this development, but we have encountered a critical challenge: ensuring that users are logged into DOMO in a way that allows us to capture their login information. This is vital for tracking who updates or uploads data to the DOMO dataset.

Our request to the DOMO developer community, and particularly to the team behind the DOMO Excel JS Add-on, is to seek guidance or share code snippets pertaining to the authentication process within the add-on. Specifically, we are interested in understanding how the add-on manages user authentication and session management. This insight would be incredibly valuable to us in overcoming our current obstacle and successfully implementing our custom solution.

We believe that with your expertise and support, we can enhance our data analysis capabilities while maintaining the integrity and security of our data processes. Any assistance or pointers you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Daniel Vieira

Hi @danielvds_ti

I'm just seeking internally to see if this is something we're able to share a bit of info with you on. I'll get back to you if I get some detail.

This might help. I did some testing a while back with pulling user info. I believe this is how I did it. The domo api can retrieve user information about the currently logged user.
