Adobe Analytics ToolAdobe Analytics ToolA newer version of the Adobe Analytics Tool is available from the Alteryx Analytics Gallery.
The Adobe Analytics tool authenticates to the Adobe Analytics report suites (to which you have access) and generates ad hoc reports based on multiple parameters via the Adobe Analytics Reporting API, version 1.4.
See API Best Practices for a list of factors and tips affecting report generation time.
User Login authentication requires Web Services access (granted by your Adobe administrator) and linking your Adobe Analytics account to your Adobe ID for single sign-on capability. To link the accounts:
If authentication fails, contact your Adobe Analytics administrator.
The Developer Login requires that you create an application from your Adobe Analytics account. Choose client credentials for the authentication type. Once you create the application, Adobe will provide an Application ID (Client ID) and Application Secret (Client Secret) to use for authentication with Alteryx.
Many report parameters will dynamically update the available metrics and elements. For each selected element, the report will retrieve up to the top 50,000 records for that element.
