NAME

multitouch_report.pl - MultiTouch Analytics Reporting

SYNOPSIS

multitouch_report --user=USERNAME --pass=PASSWORD --ID=ANALYTICSID --start_date=YYYYMMDD --end_date=YYYYMMDD --filename=FILENAME

DESCRIPTION

Runs MultiTouch Analytics reports; see http://www.multitouchanalytics.com/ for details.

BASIC OPTIONS

  • --user=USERNAME, --pass=PASSWORD, --id=ANALYTICSID

    These are the Google Analytics username, password and reporting ID respectively. These parameters are mandatory.

  • --start_date=YYYYMMDD, --end_date=YYYYMMDD

    Start and end dates respectively. The total interval includes both start and end dates. Date format is YYYY-MM-DD or YYYYMMDD.

  • --filename=FILENAME

    Name of file in which to save reports. If not specified, output is sent to the screen. The filename extension, if given, is used to determine the file format, which can be xls, csv or txt.

REPORT OPTIONS

  • title

    Title to insert into reports.

  • all_touches

    If set, the generated report includes the all-touches report; enabled by default. The all-touches report shows, for each channel, the total number of transactions and the total revenue amount in which that channel played a role. Since multiple channels may have contributed to each transaction, the total of all transactions across all channels will exceed the actual number of transactions.

  • distributed_touches

    If set, the generated report includes the distributed-touches report; enabled by default. The distributed-touches report shows, for each channel, a number of transactions and revenue amount in proportion to the number of touches for that channel. Since each individual transaction is distributed across the contributing channels, the total of all transactions (revenue) across all channels will equal the actual number of transactions (revenue).

  • transactions

    If set, the generated report includes transactions report; enabled by default. The transactions report lists each transaction and the channels that contributed to it.

  • --window_length=DAYS

    The analysis window length, in days. Only touches this many days prior to any given order will be included in the analysis.

  • --single_order_model

    If set, any touch is counted only once, toward the next order only; subsequent repeat orders do not include touches prior to the initial order.

  • --channel_pattern=PATTERN

    Each "channel" is derived from the Google source (source), Google medium (med) and a subcategory (subcat) field that can be set in the javascript calls, joined using the pattern separator patsep (defined in new, default '-').

    For example, the source might be 'yahoo' or 'google' and the medium 'organic' or 'cpc'. To see a report on channels yahoo-organic, google-organic, google-cpc etc, the channel pattern would be 'source-med'. To see the report just at the search engine level, channel pattern would be 'source', and to see the report just at the medium level, the channel pattern would be 'med'.

    Arbitrary ordering is permissible, e.g. med-subcat-source.

    The default channel pattern is 'source-med-subcat'.

ADVANCED OPTIONS

  • --patsep=C

    The pattern separator for turning source, medium and subcategory information into a "channel" identifier. See the channel_pattern option for more information. Defaults to '-'.

  • --format=FORMAT

    May be set to xls, csv or txt to specify Excel, CSV and Text format output respectively. The filename extension takes precedence over this parameter.

  • --event_category=CATEGORY

    The name of the event category used in Google Analytics to store multi-touch data. Defaults to 'multitouch' and only needs to be changed if the equivalent variable in the associated javascript library has been customised.

  • --fieldsep=C, --recsep=C

    Field and record separators for stored multi-touch data. These default to '!' and '*' respectively and only need to be changed if the equivalent variables in the associated javascript library has been customised.

  • --debug

    Enable debug output.
