It would be really helpful if we could report on Gather in Explore like we can for Support and Guide. I currently have to use Google Analytics and Zendesk APIs to get these numbers for our reporting. For me it would be most beneficial to be able to see the following data:

  • Views of posts (count and who; by date range)
  • Follows of topics (count and who; by date range)
  • Count of posts by date range
  • Count of comments by date range

While this is the data that I pull each month using the APIs and Google analytics, there are lots of other data points in Gather that would probably be beneficial. For Explore to really be the robust reporting tool that it is touted as, it should be able to report on both Guide and Gather very similarly as it does Support - by user, topic, organization, etc. But please start by at least adding the basics that I have bulleted above.

    Championing this along with @Maggie St. Clair because we DESPERATELY need this at Brandwatch too!

    Gather reporting is also needed in our environment as well! It currently is a very manual process of compiling data in spreadsheets.

    I agree! We are rolling out our Community and really need reporting ability on this as well.

    Hi @maggie11 and everybody here,

    I agree that our current reporting on community is quite limited, and happy to share the news that the community dataset and dashboard is planned to be rolled out in Q1 next year. 
    In this thread you can follow the recent updates regarding the release.
    Cheers!

    I am also looking for better reporting in Gather!  When will this be available?  How can I use Google Analytics and API to pull stats on Views, posts, comments, likes, etc?

    So happy to hear this as we need to show the analytics for all weekly reports and also to see engagement. This will help us with the gamification of the community.
