“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.”
The “Pupparazzi” error happens when Salesforce’s Analytics Download API service fails due to authentication issues or incomplete Slack integration setup. This frustrating error blocks your ability to export CRMA dashboards as PDFs through the native platform.
Here’s how to bypass this error completely and get reliable PDF exports of your dashboard data.
Export CRMA dashboard data without the Analytics Download API using Coefficient
Instead of troubleshooting the problematic Analytics Download API, Coefficient connects directly to your Salesforce data sources. This approach bypasses the Pupparazzi service entirely while giving you access to the same data that populates your CRMA dashboard. You can then recreate your dashboard logic in Salesforce and export to PDF using native spreadsheet functionality.
How to make it work
Step 1. Connect Coefficient to your Salesforce data sources.
Install Coefficient in Google Sheets or Excel, then connect to Salesforce using your existing credentials. Import the same objects and fields that feed your CRMA dashboard – this could be Opportunities, Accounts, Custom Objects, or any combination of data sources.
Step 2. Recreate your dashboard logic in the spreadsheet.
Apply the same filters, groupings, and calculations that your CRMA dashboard uses. Coefficient’s AND/OR filter logic lets you match your dashboard criteria exactly. Unlike the Analytics Download API, Coefficient handles pagination automatically and imports complete datasets without the 2K row MFA limitation when unique IDs are included.
Step 3. Set up automatic refresh and PDF generation.
Schedule Coefficient to refresh your data hourly, daily, or weekly to keep reports current. Then use Google Sheets or Excel’s native PDF export functionality, which is far more reliable than Salesforce’s Pupparazzi service.
Get reliable dashboard exports without API dependencies
This approach eliminates the Pupparazzi error entirely while providing better control over formatting and automatic refresh capabilities. Try Coefficient to start exporting your CRMA dashboard data without the headaches of Salesforce’s Analytics Download API.
