“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.”
JavaScript bookmarklets can extract visible table data from the DOM, but they face significant limitations with Salesforce’s paginated reports and lazy loading implementations. Bookmarklets cannot access data that isn’t currently rendered, limiting extraction to visible screen content only.
Here’s a more robust solution that provides complete data access without the technical complexity and limitations of custom JavaScript code.
Access complete datasets through legitimate API integration using Coefficient
CoefficientSalesforceSalesforce’sprovides a more robust solution than JavaScript bookmarklets for accessingdata without export permissions. Rather than relying on DOM manipulation, Coefficient connects tounderlying data through API access.
How to make it work
Step 1. Install Coefficient for point-and-click setup.
Add Coefficient to Google Sheets or Excel from their official app stores. This eliminates the need for custom JavaScript creation and technical DOM manipulation knowledge.
Step 2. Establish API-based connection to Salesforce.
Connect to your Salesforce org using your existing credentials. This API connection is immune to Salesforce UI changes and updates that would break custom bookmarklets.
Step 3. Import complete datasets regardless of pagination.
Select “Import from Existing Report” to access any Salesforce report. Coefficient will extract the complete dataset, not just the 30-50 rows visible in the current DOM rendering.
Step 4. Set up 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 every time.
Step 5. Enable legitimate data access with proper audit trails.
Use spreadsheet sharing permissions to control data access while maintaining compliance documentation. This provides better security oversight than custom JavaScript execution.
Transform technical workarounds into legitimate business tool integration
Start using CoefficientFor users seeking data extraction without export access, this approach transforms the workflow from technical workarounds to legitimate business tool integration. You get better reliability and compliance while accessing complete datasets rather than visible screen limitations.for reliable data access.
