I'd like to be able to tag affiliate links with some extra information so that I can map successes to information inside of my system.
Is there any way I can include a custom identifier or payload of data with the affiliate link that Amazon will allow me to inspect when I receive a report of successful sales?
The only thing I found is the tracking ids from
Manage Your Tracking IDs page.
However this ids are limited to 100 values by default (you need to contact amazon for more). This is what they answered me:
I understand you'd like to view reporting within Products Advertising
API.
All reports are housed on your Associates account for you to view the
activity of your links.
We do offer multiple tracking IDs so that Associates can track the
activity of individual links easily and accurately.
You can create up to 100 tracking IDs in your account by visiting the
Account Settings section of Associates Central. You'll find a link in
the Account Information section labeled Manage your tracking IDs:
https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/network/your-account/manage-t...
Once you've created your additional tracking IDs, to view these IDs,
please log into Associates Central (http://associates.amazon.com).
Once logged in, click on the drop down box under Tracking ID to change
which ID you are working with.
If you are interested in receiving more than 100 tracking IDs, please
first create this amount via your associate account in Associate
Central. If you have already created 100 tracking IDs in your account
and are needing additional tracking IDs, please use the link below to
write back to us with a detailed description of how you'll be using
these additional ID:

We have a Health Information system where about 75+ users login to the system from different healthcare facilities and register patients for different health care services. I wanted to create aggregated data dashboard using google data studio for specific health facility where they can see ONLY details related to the their institution. Is there way to create such customized dashboard in data studio ?
Thanks in advance
Yes, it is possible. See updated instructions:
Add a filter to the table. See attachment #1.
Set up parameters for your filter as shown in attachment #2. Click Save.
As a result you will see, that your table shows data limited to one facility. See result here.
Repeat the process for all facilities on separate reports.
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.
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.
I have a requirement where I want to edit a mailing list - add and remove members - quite frequently (weekly, and sporadically, daily).
Going through gmail API documentation, I didn't find anything that could point me to a solution for the same.
Is this feature supported? If yes, can you point me to a doc page?
Cheers
You may want to check the Google Contacts API
.
Contact Group Entry
Contacts can be placed into user-defined groups. You can create, retrieve, update, and delete these groups using the Contacts Data API, and you can add contacts to a group or remove contacts from a group. For details, see the following sections.
To create a new contact group, send an authorized POST request to the contact groups feed URL with the contact group entry data in the body:
https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/groups/{userEmail}/full
With the appropriate value in place of userEmail. Be noted that the special userEmail value default can be used to refer to the authenticated user.
I am building a web app where all the users belong to some type of places, lets say "bank". Each user belongs to only 1 bank but 1 bank can have more then one user.
I need to display their bank name and location in user profile and to be able to search by bank names inside specific city. So I need to connect users and banks somehow.
Is it safe to use the Place ID for that for each bank in terms of app scalability and life-cycle?
The manual says:
Place IDs are exempt from the caching restrictions stated in Section
10.5.d of the Google Maps APIs Terms of Service. You can therefore store place ID values indefinitely.
So Google says I can but is it the best practise? Do I need to store a full address additionally to be safe in case Google will deprecate these IDs in future?
Let's say I can get the bank Place ID with the help of Place Autocomplete during the user registration. Then I need to save it to DB to be able to display it later and search by bank.
The DB Structure could be:
Or Just
But I think the 1st way it better with unique place_id column?
As Google says, you may store PlaceID, but they also tell you that it is a good practice to "refresh" these stored PlaceIDs each 100 days, they do not assure you that your stored PlaceID will be for the same place that you stored.
