How to indentify list of unique email domains

Anonymous · ‎01-29-2015

Here is my business case. I want to indentify list of unique email domains in my database. Is there a way it can be done?

Here are a couple of approaches I thought but ran in to roadblocks.

1> A lead preformance report would have been great fit here if I can group by a subset of email address field. i.e. domain name. But it is not supported to be grouped by a subset of a field value.

2> I thought there might be a way to use API to get this kind of data out.
For example, by using getLead by EMAIL
as explained here,
https://community.marketo.com/MarketoArticle?id=kA050000000L3FlCAK

The question is if this call returns the 'exact' match of the email address passed. Like Rajesh@BrightAspects.com
or
it returns all the records which 'contain' the string I pass. So I can pass just the domain name.such as @BrightAspects.com to get a list of all email addresses in the database from that domain.

There are a couple of other ways to solve this but I am not looking to use webhooks, create a new field and can not assime that all Marketo leads are also in SFDC. Any other ideas?

Thanks

Rajesh

Rajesh, you could use a new beta feature called "Munchtions" that allows you do add functions to Change Data Values. One function is "regex replace", which allows you to extract the domain from the email address (and many other things). This would be the syntax:

Smart List
- trigger: Lead is Created
- trigger: data value changes, attribute is "email address"
- filter: email address is not empty
Flow
- Change Data Value, Attribute "email domain", new value: ##REGEX_REPLACE({{lead.Email Address}},"/.+(?<=@)/","")##
Schedule
- Run every time

You will have to ask Support to enable this feature.

Once you have the domain in a separate field, it should be much easier to count the number of unique domains, for example a Lead Performance report grouped by "email domain" (time period: all time).

MODERATOR EDIT: This feature is only available for internal use. Support is not able to enable this for customer use at this time.
