Awesome. Thanks. I'll share the news and test the connector myself.

Chris, are there currently any plans to write a connector for AdWords itself?

Hi Alec,

This has been something that a few of our clients have mentioned. Unfortunately in order to develop an AdWords connector we need to apply to Google for AdWords API access. This is a fairly lengthy and convoluted process (see: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/signingup). If there is sufficient demand we will investigate this further.

Thanks Chris. Would it be worth reclassifying this as an idea then?

On the subject of the Google Analytics connector, I have been experimenting with it and I notice that the menu for metric selection, and the names of the metrics themselves, are different to those in the actual online interface. There was at least one metric that I could not find at all in the connector, namely 'E-Commerce Conversion Rate'. Is there any chance of these being updated at some point?

Cheers

Hi,

Yes please post it as a separate idea and vote, however we are very much reliant on Google approving Omniscope to use the AdWords API. From my understanding we have unsuccessfully applied to Google in the past for AdWords access, so if you are aware of any Google representative who we can liaise with to speed up and help us get access please let us know.

In terms of the metrics, as far as I'm aware the Omniscope GoogleAnalytics connector is fully up-to-date with all available metrics. Please note that the metrics available on the website may have different names to the metrics available through Omniscope, which uses Google's API. The following is a link to all available metrics in the API:

https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/dimsmets#cats=ecommerce

As you can see there is an "E-Commerce" section, however there is no "Conversion rate" metric in this section. It may be the case that the metric has a different name, or that it has not yet been implemented by Google. If there are any metrics listed here that are not implemented in Omniscope please let us know.

Hey Chris, are there any plans to include the ability to filter data in the Google Analytics connector? See the image below for an example. This is particularly useful if e.g. you wish to carry out analysis on your Paid Search campaigns (i.e. AdWords) and need to only pull data for site visits that came from that source. Without this ability, the usefulness of the connector is severely diminished.

Cheers

Hi Alec,

Thanks for the question. This is already available in Omniscope 2.8, see: http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/comment/6928/.
