Retargeting and user behavior data - behavior

Has someone more information in this area: retargeting and user behavior? Is there any source where I can buy data to optimize my content with this data?

Slack App - Is it possible to customize blocks depending on users?

I'm working on a Slack App and I would like to customize some messages depending on the users who view them.
I know about chat.postEphemeral API method, but the visual rendering is not at all pleasant (at least for my app layout).
The best solution would be to add some blocks which can be viewed/customized depending on the users who view them. Is there some way to do that?
Edit:
After several researches I did a new feature proposal to enrich the messages to Slack to have something potentially new which can be helpful to someone else. Everybody is welcome to the discussion to improve the proposal.
I'm afraid not. When you're posting messages into a conversation using chat.postMessage, the content of that message is the same for all users.
You've a few options, but they really depend on your app's flow.
Use chat.postEphemeral, as you've mentioned already
Render a modal view, which gives you the User ID before you construct the view, allowing you to customise it. The downside here is that it will require some user interaction like clicking a button before you can present the modal.
Render the content inside an App Home, which again will provide user ID, but this exists outside the context of a conversation, which might be important for your app.
Other than that, I'm afraid you'll need to stick with a generic message.

getStream - Flat Feed where multiple users can post

we are implementing stream in our application and so far we love the out of the box react components as well as the backend implementation stream ruby - this is our setup currently.
We are close to deploying a first MVP but found that it seems to be not possible to post activities to a flat feed from multiple users by default.
Our use case is that we have a group of people that want to post activities about a certain topic (think facebook groups). Therefore we create a feed for the object (lets say a company) and want each user to be able to post activities there. Our current workaround is to add the author id as additional data and add a custom header to a activity - obviously not the best solution as reactions won't work that way.
Looking around we found that this seems to not work out of the box see this issue and this question.
Is this a feature that is only available to paying customers or how can we activate it?
Thank you in advance!
When using Stream with React users can only post to their own user feed, this is a default permission policy that can be changed by Stream.
I suggest reaching to Stream support by email and ask to change the permission policy.

Mix Panel API web segmentation and personalisation

Hi I am interested in using Mix Panel on a web site to track customers events. I would like to know if there is any way to use the api to personalise the web site per customer, similar to segmentation for emails.
I would like to query the api for a singular customer asking whether they have achieved several events.
For example something like
If customer has clicked out and last visit greater than a month ago display a banner advert.
Mixpanel does not seem like a correct tool for the job you describe here.
While theoretically this might be possible (via Mixpanel's HTTP API), this will create unnecessary architectural complexity and add extra latency. If you need to customize your web site per user, store any user state in a database like MySQL or PostgreSQL. This will be both faster and easier.

Instagram Location Data

I am working on developing a platform which is integrated with Instagram. My app is still in the review process currently but would like some clarification on what is the best way to build one of the modules.
An important part of our application involves us selecting the most appropriate user to carry out a task. In order to make this decision, we need to see the demographic information of a certain user’s followers. More precisely, we need to know how many followers lie in each country
The current workflow we have gone ahead with is, by fetching the list of follower’s of a user’s profile, checking any random post on their profile and fetching the geolocation of that follower. This however has lead to inaccurate information.
Can you suggest if there is an alternate to getting this done?
Thank You
There is no accurate way to get location of a user. You can use 2 methods to get best guess:
check the bio information for location
get all photos and get geo location area from where most of the posts are coming from.

Yammer Analytics API

To give an context, we are trying to achieve reporting functionality based on the Yammer activity/usage information.
Questions
We are not able to find any Analytics API in the link https://developer.yammer.com/documentation/ except Data Export API. Please let us know if we have any other API related to usage Analytics.
Is there any way to execute our query against yammer big data for us to get the usage information?
• The data export is not providing the information such as ‘like’, ‘share’ and ‘followed by’. Is there any other way to export yammer data including these missing items?
How to remove the deleted entries from the past collection just in case if we are going to do periodic data export?
How the third party tools companies like ‘good data’ will contact yammer for analytics data. This will help us to find the approach involved in this.
Can someone help us on this.
have you tried this : http://blogs.msdn.com/b/richard_dizeregas_blog/archive/2014/04/09/yammer-analytics-with-excel-and-power-bi.aspx Yammer API and Excel 2013 for bigger data..
Having said that - I think the tool is currently broken as I seem be be able to download 114% of my stats, then get some blank CSV files which then fail on power pivot.
You need to be a verified admin to access this tool.
Cheers
Rich
About Question 2
There are good ways of doing it through the API. You can use Excel and PowerQuery or a home made .net data extractor. Like, Share and followed By are possible with the API but not with the useless Data Export feature. Be aware the API have some issues when trying to retrive all data. I'm currently trying to get these issues fixed.
About Question 4
They need the account of a trusted admin. Thanks to a Token they will be able to access all your networks messages and provide you most of the Analytics you need.
They have good webinards for their tool. Only issue is that they copy your data in their environment in the US (is not acceptable for European customers).
