I want to extract LinkedIn group members' email addresses. (Note: I do not own the groups; they are just groups that I am a member of). I could not find anything yet to do so in LinkedIn API. Although I am able to get my current status, update status, friends list.
Around 4 years ago it was possible to get email addresses of members who joined your group if the group was set to private. Now there is no way to access this data apart from being a connection with all of the members of the group or viewing each members profiles and grabbing any email address that they have listed publicly.

We have just linked our GA360 account to BigQuery but we noticed from the docs that the userId doesn't get exported. This is really annoying as one of our main use case was to join the userId with our CRM system.
Why is Google not exporting the userId ? Is there workaround ?
Thank you for your answers.
The solution is to create a User level custom dimension and pass your user's ID into that as well.
There's no restriction on exporting your custom dimensions, and these are exported to BigQuery.
Enjoy :)
How User-ID works
User-ID enables the association of one or more sessions (and the activity within those sessions) with a unique and persistent ID that you send to Analytics.
To implement User-ID, you must be able to generate your own unique IDs, consistently assign IDs to users, and include these IDs wherever you send data to Analytics.
For example, you could send the unique IDs generated by your own authentication system to Analytics as values for User-ID. Any engagement, like link clicks and page or screen navigation, that happen while a unique ID is assigned can be sent to Analytics and connected via User-ID.
In an Analytics implementation without the User-ID feature, a unique user is counted each time your content is accessed from a different device and each time there’s a new session. For example, a search on a phone one day, purchase on a laptop three days later, and request for customer service on a tablet a month after that are counted as three unique users in a standard Analytics implementation, even if all those actions took place while a user was signed in to an account. While you can collect data about each of those interactions and devices, you can’t determine their relevance to one another. You only see independent data points.
When you implement User-ID, you can identify related actions and devices and connect these seemingly independent data points. That same search on a phone, purchase on a laptop, and re-engagement on a tablet that previously looked like three unrelated actions on unrelated devices can now be understood as one user’s interactions with your business.
From Google analytics about the userid feature the user id is used in the background by google analytics to analyse your data.
If you want to analyse on the user id you can just add it as a custom dimension you will then be able to see it.
Is it possible to extract profile info of Linkedin group members? Seems to me Linkedin API does not allow it, doesn't it?
Some options:
I being a member of a group
I being not a member of a group.
If it is possible then what would be the way?
As you can see here, the group fields do not include any fields regarding the personal details of group members. Also the documentation does not offer any way to get profiles of members. So I'd say it is not possible to get profile information of group members other than knowing their group-related traits.
We're creating a flow for boarding new customers and would like to use the enhanced ecommerce tracking of universal analytics to track the boarding steps.
A single applicant fills in a form supplying information about their business and delivery addresses and such. The problem is that after the application has been submitted, the applicants need to electronically sign an agreement. There can be multiple people signing, and the person signing therefor doesn't necessarily need to be the same person that filled in the application. Is it possible to track a flow where another user/session takes over and finalizes the application?
If all participants in the application process sign in with a token - same token for all - you can set it as userID and enable session stitching - you'll need special userID view (and update your privacy policy) which will only show visits for which the userID was set and will recognize users across multiple computers, devices etc.
However this will still give you aggregated data only, so if you want to track individual users in addition to the flow you have to set the userID as a custom dimension (talk to your lawyer first, even with an anonymous ID profile building might be a privacy issue). The userID must contain nothing that would allow anybody but your own company to identify a specific user or device (no e-mail-addresses, no MAC addresses etc). Then you can pull the individual data with the custom dimension as key and match it with your CRM data.
No guarantees, but that seems the closest you can get to your requirements using GA.
Basically I have a site in which I want my clients to be owners of a group, and then anonymous users can add nodes through their group and my clients will receive notification if someone adds a node in their group.
Basically the service is a lead generation service so in effect the content type is a landing page and when anonymous users go to put their details in, dependent on which group they do it through, the client will receive the notification.
i.e. My clients group is www.example.com/group1 and they send out a link with their URL to generate some leads.
example.com/group1/node/add/landing-page
Once this node has been created, will it be possible to notify the group1 owner (I assume if I set the correct Rules)?
On top of this, I want the group1 owner to be able to login and see a Views display of all the nodes that have been created in their group.
I assume Organic Groups is the wway to go here, but I may be mistaken - any hep would be appreciated.
Unless this has dramatically changed in D7, I don't think you're going to be able to let anonymous users post into Groups. The whole concept and structure of OG relies on users being logged in and identifiable.
In other words, I think you have to be a member of a Group to post in it, and anonymous (user 0) can never belong to a Group.
I'm having a problem with my Facebook competition where users are entering multiple times. The required fields to enter are first name, last name and email. They can not enter the same email more than once, but they are just using different email addresses. I can not delete their entries however because there is no way to "prove" that it's the same person, even though it's dead obvious (exact same first and last name, all entries within 30 seconds of one another).
Our terms and conditions say that only one entry is allowed per person, per competition but apart from the email validation I can't find a way to enforce this.
When a user likes our page (which is required to enter the competition) is the ID of that user available from the signed request? Would it be within the Facebook guidelines to store this ID along with their entry details?
Thanks
no, you need to authorize the users then you get the Facebook ID.
You then can display a diffrent page as you know this user already taken part in the competition - so you dont give them the change to submit more than once for one Facebook ID.
as this will probably to late know, you can store a cookie. but be aware that users can delete this cookie.
