Working with Einstein Analytics I often hear people finding the data manager the most challenging part to learn. Perhaps because when people work with dashboards in core Salesforce we don’t have to shape our data the same way, we simply need to understand what objects we want to use in our report or dashboard. There ...
Something new is coming to Einstein Analytics. Something you should pay attention to as it will change the way that you work with data. The most visible part of this new data platform is a new Data Prep editor. It’s more approachable and powerful featuring machine learning capabilities. Hints have been dropped at Dreamforce and ...
When you are new to Einstein Analytics and you for the first time have to build a dataset it may go alright, yes there are a few new concepts to understand especially the grain level (or root object) but you can manage. When it comes to making additional modifications in the dataflow afterward that’s where ...

Getting marketing smart with Einstein Analytics includes getting details on how your marketing campaigns are performing. What emails were open and which ones had the best click rate? In the first part of this blog series I mentioned, we couldn’t access the tracking data through the connector. In fact, we can’t even see them in ...
It’s no secret that I have a background in implementing Einstein Analytics, Pardot and Marketing Cloud for different companies, so I get a lot of questions around reporting on your marketing data.
