Give Context Data Studio Connector a try
With Context we are trying to automate and centralize all your business annotations. Everything that can be useful to better understand your data.
With Enhanced Google Analytics Annotations extension we wanted to give you the option to have that information as another data layer right in Google Analytics.
And now we'd like to share Context Data Studio Connector.
Since we launched in private beta mode a few months ago, we've been actively talking to a lot of smart digital marketing pros and listening carefully to their ideas and suggestions about how we could improve the product.
And many of them expressed their desire of having their Context annotations directly integrated into their Data Studio reports.
We all know how powerful Data Studio is.
So here it is :)
Feel free to drop us a line at info [@] sweetlabs.io and we'll be happy to discuss further improvements with you ;)
