Has anyone out there connected their Marketo instance to Google Data Studio?  What are you using for the integration?

I've had some good success using Zapier to do this. Ultimately I setup all the reports I want to run in Marketo and have them emailed to me on a set cadence. Then I have Zapier watch my inbox for those emails and save the attachments to a folder in GDrive. Now, the tricky part for me was I wanted to have a running log of these reports, so I actually created a Google Script that will convert all the .csv files to Sheets and combine them into one master doc that also gets time-stamped. The only issue I've run into with it was that I have to clear out the old files every 2-3 months otherwise the script times out. This was definitely a poor mans solution and any integration would probably be better.

    @megan_koelemay, I didn't integrated Marketo with Google Data Studio. But, I have researched for the some tools and here are the names of a few: Stitch, owoxBI, Cdata, Skyvia, Panoply

      I'm actually trying to use Stitch Data to integrate Marketo data into Google Data Studio. It does not seem as straight forward as I had hoped. If I get it up and running, I'll try to remember to update here.

        May as well jump in seeing as no-one's come in with magic solutions here yet... We do a lot of business reporting with Data Studio. I'm not aware of any tool that integrates between Marketo & GDS.

         

        Unexciting as it may be, we just have a bunch of smart list/report subscriptions set up and then push that data into google sheets, where some transformations happen, and the dashboard connects to that instead.

          What tools or services or.... do you use to push the smart list/report subscriptions into google sheets?

          No tool/service, i'm afraid - just copy paste.
