    There are several Twitter connectors already available in the connector library but none available for Pepperjam.  So maybe somebody else has built that one, but are you not finding what you want for Twitter?

    thanks, aaron!

    unfortnately the twitter connectors don't provide the data we need (nor do the facebook connectors).

    we've been pulling the data out manually and putting it on box for domo to pull down but it's not very efficient.

     

    guess i'm gonna write some API's!

    Hi Amy! 

     

    Just curious as to what metrics you're looking for from Twitter and Facebook that you aren't finding?

     

    Thanks!

    Amy,

     

    Check out the Twitter Ads connector in the datacenter, I know that you'll be able to find some of those specific metrics coming out of that connector. There are several different levels of data that can be accessed, including account, campaign and tweet level (for promoted tweets). There are more specifics than I can list out, but it's fairly straightforward and a place to start in getting what you need.

     

    For Facebook, talk to Domo Support about getting access to the Facebook Ads connector. It's VERY robust in its offering and should offer almost all of the metrics you have listed below. 

     

    One thing that I know the connector team at Domo would love is to get feedback on areas the connectors can be improved (and what metrics, if possible, should be made available) to give a better user experience, so let support know of any feedback you have so they can get it to the right people. 

     

    Hopefully this is helpful and I hope those connectors help you get the data you need!

    Hi XervaMason,

     

    I am relatively new to Domo and I am working through the different Twitter cloud connector options. I'm trying to pull in data from a single account, organic traffic only. I ultimately want to match back to numbers for total engagements and impressions for the same date range as what I see in Twitters analytics tool / export. Maybe I'm way off, but I'm not even seeing impressions and it looks like the list of metrics that make up engagements is incomplete as well. Can you provide some clarification?

     

    Thanks!

    hi @user00426,

     

    The basic Twitter connector is pretty limited in what can be extracted from the API. This is because Twitter locks many of the tweet level metrics (unpaid) behind a wall that you have to jump through hoops and pay to get behind. 

     

    You won't find many if any organic tweet metrics through the Twitter connector unfortunately. Twitter acquired a company called "Gnip" a few years ago and all organic API access is routed through them. Contacting Twitter directly is probably your best option in this case. 

     

    Sorry I don't have better news, unless something has changed in the last year, this is what I remember. 

     

    Best of luck!

    Thanks Xerva,

     

    This is helpful info! Now I will stop looking for something that doesn't exist. In that case, here are my thoughts on possible recommendations. 

     

    Seeing as the native Twitter API connector is not as robust as the data we need in order to provide a comprehensive view of Twitter performance (alongside other social platforms), we recommend 3 options:

    1 - Build a modified solution based on the limitations inherent to the native Domo connectors (hands-free solution, but with limitations)

    2 - Manual data source management on a monthly basis - we export all datasets monthly directly from platform, and append to existing data sources manually, then refresh Domo dashboards (requires manual work on a monthly basis, within scope)

    3 - Build and maintain custom FTP connections, which provide a comprehensive view of performance, including all relevant metrics across platforms. (this solution requires significant ongoing management and validation)

    Those three solutions make sense. I've done the first two, and while they do require some management, they work fairly well as a minimal touch solution. 

     

    Another solution that goes along with #2 below would be to use Box to drop the files into, then use Domo's Box connector to bring the files in and run the merge dataflows. Domo's Box connector is very robust and useful.
