“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.”
Browser extensions can capture visible page content, but they cannot access data that isn’t rendered in the DOM due to pagination and lazy loading restrictions in Salesforce reports. Most extensions face the same visible screen limitations as copy-paste operations.
Here’s a more reliable alternative that provides superior data access capabilities while maintaining administrative oversight and audit trails.
Access complete datasets through direct API connections using Coefficient
CoefficientSalesforceSalesforce’sprovides a more reliable alternative to browser extensions for accessing restrictedreport data. Instead of trying to capture rendered page content, Coefficient connects directly todata source through API access.
How to make it work
Step 1. Install Coefficient instead of browser extensions.
Add Coefficient directly to Google Sheets or Excel from their official app stores. This eliminates the need for third-party browser extensions that may be blocked by corporate security policies.
Step 2. Connect directly to Salesforce’s API.
Establish a secure connection to your Salesforce org using your existing credentials. This API connection bypasses UI limitations and provides access to complete datasets regardless of pagination.
Step 3. Import complete report datasets in single operations.
Select “Import from Existing Report” and choose your target restricted report. Coefficient will import the complete dataset while maintaining data integrity and formatting, independent of browser rendering limitations.
Step 4. Set up controlled access through spreadsheet permissions.
Use native spreadsheet sharing controls to manage who can access the imported data. This provides better audit trails and permission management than browser extensions while maintaining compliance with security policies.
Step 5. Enable automated data refreshes.
Configure scheduled updates to keep your data current without repeated manual extractions. This provides ongoing access to complete datasets with reliable, consistent results.
Get reliable data access without browser extension limitations
Start using CoefficientFor organizations with security policies that restrict browser extensions, this approach offers a compliant solution that provides superior data access capabilities. You get complete datasets with maintained administrative oversight instead of limited visible screen captures.for reliable data extraction.
