Build cross-campaign performance dashboards with social and paid media data

Alert social teams when Tableau identifies anomalies in engagement patterns

Archive historical social performance data for long-term trend analysis

Move Sprout Social historical metrics into Tableau data sources on a rolling basis. Marketing operations maintain multi-year views of social performance without hitting API limits or paying for extended data retention in multiple tools.
