“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
Salesforce’s LoginHistory object only keeps data for 6 months, making long-term user adoption tracking nearly impossible. This limitation forces teams to lose valuable historical insights just when they need them most.
Here’s how to preserve login data indefinitely and build comprehensive adoption dashboards that track user engagement over 12+ months.
Preserve login history using automated snapshots with Coefficient
CoefficientThe solution involves creating automated data snapshots before Salesforce deletes your login history.makes this process seamless by capturing your LoginHistory data monthly and storing it in Google Sheets where it won’t expire.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import your LoginHistory data from Salesforce.
SalesforceConnectto Google Sheets and import the LoginHistory object. Include these key fields: UserId, LoginTime, LoginType, SourceIp, Browser, and Platform. This gives you the complete picture of user login behavior.
Step 2. Set up monthly snapshots to preserve data.
Use Coefficient’s Snapshots feature to automatically archive your login data before it expires. Schedule a monthly snapshot that captures the full LoginHistory dataset. Set retention settings to maintain 12+ months of historical snapshots so you never lose data again.
Step 3. Configure continuous data collection.
Enable the “Append New Data” feature to continuously add fresh login records without overwriting your historical data. This creates a growing database of login activity that extends far beyond Salesforce’s 6-month limitation.
Step 4. Build long-term adoption analysis.
Create pivot tables and charts in Google Sheets to analyze login patterns over 12+ months. Calculate monthly active users, identify adoption trends, and spot seasonal patterns that would be impossible to see with only 6 months of data.
