Customer data in email campaigns using Business Catalyst - database

I want to send out an email campaign to all some our clients receiving certain services from out company. Each customer has different services, accounts, etc that I want to publish to them to confirm we have everything correct.
I have created a number of new fields in the CRM Database but I cant see how to populate the Email Campaign with these fields, I only see the default fields.
Does anyone know if its possible to use my CRM Database fields to input in to an email campaign or will it only work in forms for data collection?

Enabling view of Google data studio based on hierarchy

I have a Google data studio dashboard that I have created for all sales employees within my org. I have setup such that each user can view their performance data based on the Filter by Email setting in the data source tab.
I however am trying to see if I can have this configured such that each teams managers can also view their team members dashboard view. I am not sure if this can be configured or setup in Google Data Studio.
I have the data for this data studio dashboard rendered from a Google sheet.
Good news, this is totally possible. Google has an article on how to set up a multiple email address filter, here is the link: Filter by multiple email addresses per row. In summary, you should created an access control list (ACL) table which you can then blend with your underlying data in Google Data Studio.
For your specific use case, I'd recommend creating an additional sheet within your Google Spreadsheet that outlines various sales staff and their related managers to import into GDS.
Your ACL table could look something like this
Access Email
Join Key
Manager#email
SalesRep1
SalesRep1#email
SalesRep1
Manager#email
SalesRep2
SalesRep2#email
SalesRep2
Once the data is blended in GDS and your filter is updated, employees would be limited to their own data, while the manager would be able to access and view all employees under their purview.

How to set different access levels for dashboard data in Google Data Studio

Lets assume I am creating a google DataStudio dashboard for a sales data which is having sales records for countries.
For each country has a country manager and they are assign to single supervisor in Head Office.
My question is:
Can we develop a Google DataStudio DashBoard which is capable to restrict data only relevant to a particular country if it is viewing by a country manager and to show whole data relevant to all countries if it is viewing by the supervisor of country managers?
There is no easy solution to have a page-level permission, but there are three options.
Break up the report in to separate ones (this is the most simple solution, although it creates multiple reports)
Use Viewer's credentials instead of Owners’ credential (You must grand viewers access to your gbq data source, which is not ideal in most cases)
Filter by email (This works for small number of users, but quite cumbersome for multiple users)
For the option one, you can break up one "master report" that has all pages, and creating multiple sub-reports by using URL embedding by page
In your Data Source, create a column called "e-mail" and populate it with the e-mail address of the manager that you want to be able to see that particular line.
After you do this, use the "Filter by email" option in the Data Source:
And select the field you just created:
And there you are. Your data will only be searchable by the person you selected, based on the email they are using to access the dashboard.
If you want more than one person to be able to see a particular data, you'll need to duplicate the respective lines in the Data Source.

Is this possible to create a private report filtering in Data Studio embeded report

I created a report in DataStudio and embedded it on my website. I activated the option "anyone with the link can view" so this report will be visible to my website users.
But I need to show my website users different data depending on their user ids and more important I don't want users would be able to see other users' data so if I used URL filtering users would be able to breach and search another user id to see his data.
Does anyone have a solution for this scenario?
In Google documentation I saw an option to limit the report to users in my domain, I assume this will solve this issue, but I don't find how to restrict other domains.
Users are logged onto Google
If users of your website are already logged onto Google, use the Filter by email address guide from Data Studio help center. This requires you to setup FILTER BY EMAIL and then have a field in your data can be directly used as an email filter.
Users are not logged on to Google
If you want a solution where the users don't have to be logged onto Google, you will need to:
Create a Community Connector to pass the filtered data to your users. The connector should accept a short lived token as part of the config.
Create a dashboard with your connector and pass unique short-lived tokens for each user.
You should have an endpoint that returns the current user's data based on the token provided. Alternatively, the endpoint can return only the user's identify and you can query a secondary data source with a service account filtering for the user's identity.
Your connector should call your endpoint to fetch data only for the user/for the user's identity.
This official guide demonstrates how to implement this in more details.
Disclaimer: I work in the Data Studio team and wrote the above guide.
First option is to add extra 2 fields to your data source.
User_ID
Password
For example:
Data, User_ID, Password
$10,Daniel,123
$20,Alex,456
In your dashboard, you need to create two parameters:
User_ID_Parameter
Password_Parameter
Both parameters can set the default value to null, and accepts any values.
Then create a new calculated field:
CASE
WHEN REGEXP_MATCH(User_ID,USER_ID_Parameter) AND REGEXP_MATCH(Password,Password_Parameter) THEN 1
ELSE 0
END
Then create a new filter to the chart that you want to hide:
To include the above calculated field Equal to 1
Second option is to use the Data Studio default Row Level Security
The only caveat is the users need to sign in before they can view the report.

Fetch custom attribute from Active Directory into CRM

I have a custom attribute EmployeeNumber in AD, while creating CRM users when I write UserName for e.g Imran.Ahmed it automatically fetches some information from AD and fills form with that information ie first name, last name and phone number etc. Now I have added one more field in CRM to store Employee number in CRM. But CRM is not fetching it from AD.
How can I get information of custom attribute EmployeeNumber from AD to CRM form? I have been searching on internet and found some links that are saying that we have to write a plugin or call Javascript from CRM form but is there any way through which I can automatically get information from AD?
I am not aware of any AD side configurations to sync extra columns into CRM system user record. Or how to add more data to pull in the platform service when you tab out the username. Am sure you are not gonna get that information/control over that integration from Product team.
You can try this codeplex solution by reverse engineering/extending it to achieve the requirement. Or some Graph API calls to achieve it in some timely jobs.
We have our internal HR system to read/sync such data using SSIS + Kingswaysoft connector into CRM.

Salesforce Objects available in Social Tables

My question has to do with the Salesforce integration in Social Tables and is two-fold: 1. Am I correct that only objects belonging to Contacts can be imported to Social Tables? 2. Is further integration under development?
To clarify, at present it appears that Social Tables pulls contacts from Campaigns, but does not pull other campaign data - only data stored in Contact records.
To really make use of the Salesforce integration, we'd like to import event data to Social Tables fields (e.g. Table #, Seat # etc). (Our use case is a seated fundraising breakfast.) Intuitively, that would mean Campaign Member in Salesforce would need to be imported to Social Tables along with Contacts (event-specific data can't be stored that in Contact records, since the guest data and data types would vary for different events).
Similarly, it would be great to have the option to import only the contacts in a campaign that have a specific status or "Attending?" value. I know it's possible to map Salesforce fields to event-specific fields in Social Tables, so maybe I'm missing something...thanks in advance!
Let me try to answer those for you.
Am I correct that only objects belonging to Contacts can be imported to Social Tables?
This is almost correct, for a given CampaignMember of a Campaign we are currently pulling all Lead or Contact fields (depending on the type of the CampaignMember). This does not include CampaignMember fields.
Is further integration under development?
My team is responsible for Check-In and although our focus is currently not on adding SF Integration features, we weigh customer feedback very heavily when revisiting our roadmap. You make a very valid point with including CampaignMember fields with the import and I will communicate this to our product team so they can handle accordingly.
Importing a subset of members is another great feature request that we will note. Once we have CampaignMember fields included you could accomplish this by importing all members then selecting users with unwanted statuses and deleting. Not the best but will work.
Thanks for reaching out with the fantastic feedback and hope this helps answer your questions!
