At Inspire Las Vegas 2017, we launched more than two dozen custom connectors for Alteryx. The response from analysts around the world was fantastic, with folks asking for more platforms that could be connected.
At Inspire Europe — which is another amazing event — we introduced more custom Alteryx connectors. In this blogpost, we’ll talk about:
- How Grazitti’s Alteryx connectors are an add-on to the existing out-of-the-box connectors from Alteryx,
- The benefits that our connectors offer,
- And, how these connectors can be customized as per customer needs (a use case).

How Grazitti’s Alteryx Connectors are an Add-on?
Alteryx has been a leading provider of self-service analytics solutions. With simple drag and drop tools to blend, prepare, and process data, it has been an all-time favorite of analysts across business verticals.
Helping users retrieve or push data to the cloud, it also offers some out-of-the-box connectors for various platforms including social media, CRM, and digital marketing.
However, with the expansion of platforms, these connectors fail to solve end-users’ data connectivity needs. For instance, Alteryx does not provide connectors to download data from many popular platforms such as Facebook, DoubleClick, Amazon Marketplace, BigCommerce, Azure, MSFT Dynamics and more.
Further in some cases the analyst wants to fetch more data types than available from out-of-the-box connectors in Alteryx, e.g. their Twitter connector. Grazitti’s connector lets users fetch individual tweets, that can be very powerful. This capability is missing in out-of-the-box Alteryx connectors.
Solving this requirement of users, Grazitti, as an Alteryx partner has come up with a large set of connectors providing data extraction solutions across multiple platforms.
Let’s take a look at some of the benefits our connectors offer:

How our Connectors can be Customized as per your Needs
If a user wanted to build a report from the Aster Database, they would have to fetch all the underlying millions of rows for that.
With Grazitti’s Aster connector, a user can just specify the query in the SQL form and get the summarized data from the connector. Thus, enabling an analyst to focus on what’s important — data analysis.
