To seamlessly access and analyze tracking user activities across various platforms, the use of the right Power BI connectors is important. The most recommended connectors will, however, depend on the specific platforms that will be monitored and the types of data that can be collected. Below are some of the best Power BI connectors widely used for this purpose.
Microsoft Graph API Connector: Specifically, a Microsoft Graph API Connector would monitor user activities for Microsoft services, including, but not limited to, Office 365, Teams, or SharePoint. The connector would provide user data, logs, and activity insights across the system.
Google Analytics Connector: Intended for both websites and apps, the Google Analytics connector is recommended when you want to pull detailed reports on user activities, including metrics on page views, sessions, and user behavior.
Azure Monitor Logs Connector: This connector allows users to run queries and perform analysis on logs for applications hosted on Azure, making it handy for monitoring user activities.
Salesforce Connector: This Salesforce connector is perfect for monitoring user activities on CRM platforms. It integrates effortlessly with the platform to give insights about users' engagements, sales activity, and lead tracking.
Custom Web API Connectors: Where there are no native connectors available for Power BI, the tool supports custom connector REST APIs, and this allows for creating flexible options to extract user activity data from almost any platform.
Social Media Connectors (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter): These connectors allow users to follow their actions on social media, such as posts, engagement metrics, and ad performance.
Choosing the best connectors requires evaluating their compatibility with the data, the frequency at which the data will refresh, and the complexity of the integration.
