“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.”
While you can’t directly sync Analytics Studio data to external databases, there’s an effective alternative path for creating public dashboards using automated data pipelines.
Here’s how to sync your Salesforce data to publicly accessible formats that can serve as database alternatives or feed into actual databases for public dashboard creation.
Create database-compatible data sync using Coefficient
Coefficient provides an alternative sync workflow by connecting Salesforce data to Google Sheets, which can then serve as a publicly accessible data source or be exported to database-compatible formats with automated scheduling.
How to make it work
Step 1. Establish the data sync architecture.
Set up the pipeline: Salesforce → Coefficient → Google Sheets → Public Access/Export. This eliminates Analytics Studio’s authentication layer while providing scheduled automatic updates and supporting large datasets up to 10,000 rows per import.
Step 2. Configure database-compatible exports.
Schedule Coefficient to refresh Google Sheets data, then use Google Apps Script for automated CSV or JSON exports. Connect external ETL tools to public sheet URLs and implement webhook notifications for sync completion.
Step 3. Choose your database approach.
Option 1: Use Google Sheets as your “database” by publishing sheets with API access and connecting dashboard tools via Sheets API. Option 2: Export to actual databases by scheduling Coefficient refreshes, triggering automated exports, and using tools like Zapier or Make for data transfer.
Step 4. Implement technical automation.
Create Google Apps Script functions that export data after Coefficient refreshes complete. Set up API calls to send data to external database endpoints automatically. Configure error handling and retry logic for failed transfers.
Step 5. Monitor and maintain the pipeline.
Track data sync performance, set up alerts for successful and failed transfers, monitor API usage limits, and maintain data quality checks throughout the pipeline.
Deploy your data sync solution
This approach provides a practical solution for public dashboard creation while maintaining automated data synchronization from Salesforce without Analytics Studio’s limitations. Start building your automated data sync pipeline today.
