Google Analytics content in ARIS MashZone

I investigated that too while creating the performance dashboard for ARIS Community, but I found no real solution. The problem is that you can only email reports on a regular basis. You would require a special email client/server, which copies attached files to a location, where you can access it with MashZone. That's of course a lot of effort so I decided to not do it at the moment as long as Google Analytics doesn't provide better export features.

 I think an easier approach would be to use the GoogleAnalytics Export API. For MashZone, the Queryexplorer would be the best solution. Have a look on this [link]. You can easily build specific queries and use them within MashZone.

Hi Florian,

thank you very much for this link. I was not aware that there is something like that. Looks like that we now got a way to bring in Google Analytics reports to ARIS MashZone. I will let you know how that worked out.

Florian,

the Query explorer is really exciting. Alternatively, you could also use Google Data API which is based on REST protocol and Atom feeds. So, it is accessible with XML data source in Mashzone. But, unfortunately, there is one final link missing: for both use cases (query explorer and API) you have to authenticate using the Google Auth mechanism, which is not yet supported in MashZone.
