Google Data Studio

Has anyone out there connected their Marketo instance to Google Data Studio?  What are you using for the integration?

[Grace_Brebner3]

May as well jump in seeing as no-one's come in with magic solutions here yet... We do a lot of business reporting with Data Studio. I'm not aware of any tool that integrates between Marketo & GDS.

Unexciting as it may be, we just have a bunch of smart list/report subscriptions set up and then push that data into google sheets, where some transformations happen, and the dashboard connects to that instead.

What tools or services or.... do you use to push the smart list/report subscriptions into google sheets?

[Grace_Brebner3]

No tool/service, i'm afraid - just copy paste.

Wow!!  The queen of automation is using copy/paste.

@Grace_Brebner3 , that's just so very very wrong!!

[Nick_Murphy]

Hey Grace - appreciate your feedback.  I currently have many smart list/report subscriptions set up that get sent to my email.  You mentioned from there you then push that data into google sheets.  How did you go about that? Any advice is appreciated.

Kind regards,

Nick

@Nick_Murphy ,

Disclaimer: I HATE doing integration this way!

Any one of the many IPaaS tools (Zapier springs to mind) can extract attachments from emails and then manipulate them so that you can get them into Google Sheets

Better is to use a proper integration approach that extracts activity data from Marketo and loads it into whatever data storage you want for long term reporting, analysis etc.

Cheers

I'm actually trying to use Stitch Data to integrate Marketo data into Google Data Studio. It does not seem as straight forward as I had hoped. If I get it up and running, I'll try to remember to update here.

Good to hear your experience, Danielle.  Thanks for the reply!
