Use ChatGPT to Talk to Your Adobe Analytics Data via CData Connect AI
ChatGPT is an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI, launched in November 2022. Based on large language models (LLMs), it enables users to refine and steer conversations through natural language processing. ChatGPT's developer mode, available to Plus and Pro subscribers, provides full Model Context Protocol (MCP) support for connecting to external data sources and tools.
CData Connect AI offers a dedicated cloud-to-cloud interface for connecting to Adobe Analytics data. The CData Connect AI Remote MCP Server enables secure communication between ChatGPT and Adobe Analytics. This allows you to ask questions and take actions on your Adobe Analytics data using ChatGPT, all without the need for data replication to a natively supported database. With its inherent optimized data processing capabilities, CData Connect AI efficiently channels all supported SQL operations, including filters and JOINs, directly to Adobe Analytics. This leverages server-side processing to swiftly deliver the requested Adobe Analytics data.
Step 1: Configure Adobe Analytics Connectivity for ChatGPT
Connectivity to Adobe Analytics from ChatGPT is made possible through CData Connect AI Remote MCP. To interact with Adobe Analytics data from ChatGPT, we start by creating and configuring a Adobe Analytics connection in CData Connect AI.
- Log into your Connect AI account, click Sources, and then click Add Connection.
- Select "Adobe Analytics" from the Add Connection panel.
-
Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to Adobe Analytics.
Adobe Analytics uses the OAuth authentication standard. To authenticate using OAuth, create an app to obtain the OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and CallbackURL connection properties. See the "Getting Started" section of the help documentation for a guide.
Retrieving GlobalCompanyId
GlobalCompanyId is a required connection property. If you do not know your Global Company ID, you can find it in the request URL for the users/me endpoint on the Swagger UI. After logging into the Swagger UI Url, expand the users endpoint and then click the GET users/me button. Click the Try it out and Execute buttons. Note your Global Company ID shown in the Request URL immediately preceding the users/me endpoint.
Retrieving Report Suite Id
Report Suite ID (RSID) is also a required connection property. In the Adobe Analytics UI, navigate to Admin -> Report Suites and you will get a list of your report suites along with their identifiers next to the name.
After setting the GlobalCompanyId, RSID and OAuth connection properties, you are ready to connect to Adobe Analytics.
- Click Save & Test
With the connection configured, we are ready to connect to Adobe Analytics data from ChatGPT.
