Connect an Adobe Analytics account to Impact

Use Adobe Analytics with Hootsuite Impact to find out which organic posts, ads, and pages drive the most website traffic or customer conversions. You can then use that information to improve your social media and content strategy.

With Adobe Analytics you can analyze the customer journey from visiting your website, to interacting with your content, to completing a success event. Success events are actions that you want customers to take, such as visiting a specific page on your website, subscribing to your email newsletter, or purchasing a product or service.

Make sure you have developer access for the correct product profile in the Adobe Developer console. For information on how to add and manage developers, see the Adobe help article Add developers to one or more product profiles for a single product.

1. Go to your Adobe Developer Console account, create a new project, then add Adobe Analytics service as an API.
2. Select to authenticate using Service Account (JWT).
