Four Components of a Successful ESN
Why are analytics important?
• Monitoring and tracking the performance of your network allows you to observe its health,
identify opportunities for growth, and keep track of how your organization is using Yammer.
• If files and notes usage is low, could you organize training sessions on collaboration
using Yammer tools?
• If mobile usage is low, could you begin a campaign to raise awareness and promote
usage?
• If a particular group is popular, could you invite the group admins to share best practices
for keeping the group active?

Data Export
What can be exported from Yammer?
• The Yammer Data Export is for Verified Admins only and will package and export all
messages (public and private), notes, files, topics, users, and groups.
• Data will be exported into separate .CSV files. The .CSV files will contain details of each data
type, such as message ID, timestamps, participants, group names, etc.
• Files will be in their native format and notes will be exported in .html format. Exports will
only contain files and notes created or modified during the time period specified for the
export.
I have my exported file, so now what?
• Create a PivotTable, a Microsoft Excel feature which allows you to aggregate and visualize the
data from your export.
• Analyzing the Messages.csv file:
• Find the Top 10 groups based on posts or conversations, drill down to see the
breakdown by day.
• Find the Top 10 posters, drill down to see the breakdown by day.
• Analyzing the Topics.csv file:
• Breakdown the number of topics created by day.

Data Export API
What is the Data Export API?
• The Data Export API allows an IT administrator to set up and customize automatic, recurring
exports for your network. This allows for greater control, flexibility, and customization.
• URL: https://www.yammer.com/api/v1/export
• Method: GET
• Authentication: OAuth 2 access token, user must be a verified admin.
• See the Yammer Developer Network for generating an access token.
Query Parameters

models may be specified with multiple parameters with the 'model' name. Available models include:
