Domo
This article outlines the integration with Domo, enabling streamlined metadata management through crawling, report preview, and manual lineage building. The connector crawls Domo Pages, KPI Cards, and KPI Card Columns, providing metadata discovery and report-level visibility across Domo reporting assets.
This connector connects to Domo through REST APIs (v1 and v3) to retrieve reporting metadata and associated attributes. Authentication is established using a Domo Developer Client configured with the required OAuth scopes, along with a Domo user account to access content and metadata available within the configured Domo environment.

Set up a Connection
Prerequisites
The following are the prerequisites to establish a connection:
Service Account User Permissions
It is recommended to use a separate service account to establish the connection to the data source, configured with the following minimum set of permissions.
👨💻Who can provide these permissions? These permissions are typically granted by the Domo administrator, as users may not have the required access to assign them independently.
Connector Validation
-
OAuth: Domo Developer Client with scopes configured in Application Scopes (minimum dashboard).
User: Domo account with valid login (used indirectly when token flow calls getCookie).
Validates by obtaining an OAuth access token via validateConnection() > getAccessToken(). Validation fails if the token response starts with ERROR. Card and metadata APIs are not fully validated until the crawl operation runs.
Crawling
Pages
OAuth: dashboard scope for Pages.
User: View access to target Pages and KPI cards; ability to read card metadata (subscriptions and formulas).
Service account recommended.
Performs metadata crawl for Pages > KPI Cards (type = KPI only) > Columns/Formulas. Uses OAuth for Pages and a session cookie (username/password) for cards and fields. Non-KPI cards, datasets, sub-reports, users, and source code are not crawled.
Manual Lineage
-
Manual lineage requires OvalEdge user permissions to edit lineage on Report and Report Column objects.
Supports manual lineage creation and management within OvalEdge. Auto lineage is not available.
Crawling
Pages
OAuth scope: dashboard (Page API).
Client must be allowed to list pages available in the Domo instance.
User cookie is not required.
Domo Page maps to OvalEdge Report Group (REPORTGROUP). Metadata is retrieved through getRemoteDomains(). The Page ID is used as the external reference, and the Page name is mapped as the Report Group name.
Crawling
KPI Cards
User session: Domo user must have login access and permission to view the Page and KPI cards.
Domo KPI Card (type = KPI only) maps to OvalEdge Report (OECHART). Other card types (such as chart and table) are skipped. The embed URL is retrieved for report preview and stored in nametypemap and colNameTypeMap.
Crawling
KPI Card Columns
User session: Same Domo user must have access to card metadata, including subscriptions and formulas for each KPI card.
Domo card subscription columns and formulas map to OvalEdge Report Column (CHARTCHILD). Physical columns use the column name and mapped data type, while calculated fields use the formula ID resolved from formulas. Measures and dimensions are not categorized separately.
Connection Configuration Steps
Users are required to have the Connector Creator role in order to configure a new connection.
Log into OvalEdge, go to Administration > Connectors, click + (New Connector), search for Domo, and complete the required parameters.
Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory for establishing a connection.
Connector Type
By default, "Domo" is displayed as the selected connector type.
Credential Manager*
Select the desired credentials manager from the drop-down list. Relevant parameters will be displayed based on the selection.
Supported Credential Managers:
OE Credential Manager
AWS Secrets Manager
HashiCorp
Azure Key Vault
For more details, click here.
Connector Name*
Enter a unique name for the Domoconnection
(Example: "Domodb").
Connector Environment
Select the environment (Example: PROD, STG) configured for the connector.
For more details, click here.
Connector Description
Enter a brief description of the connector.
Client id*
Enter the Client ID of the Domo Developer Client (OAuth application) configured in Domo. This identifier is used to authenticate API requests and obtain access tokens.
Client secret*
Enter the Client Secret associated with the Domo Developer Client. This value is used with the Client ID to authenticate and obtain an API access token.
Scopes*
Enter the OAuth scopes granted to the Domo Developer Client. These scopes are passed during access token generation and determine the APIs and resources accessible to the connector. Specify scopes as space-separated values and include the required permissions, such as dashboard for Page API access.
Base URL*
Enter the URL of the Domo instance to which the connector will connect (Example: https://xyz.domo.com).
Username*
Enter the username of a Domo account with access to the Pages and KPI Cards to be crawled. This account is used to establish an authenticated session for content-related API operations.
Password*
Enter the password associated with the specified Domo user account. This value is used to authenticate the user and establish a session for content API access.
Proxy Enabled*
Select Yes to route API calls through a proxy server. Select No to bypass the proxy and connect directly.
Default Governance Roles
Default Governance Roles*
Select the appropriate users or teams for each governance role from the drop-down list. All users configured in the security settings are available for selection.
Admin Roles
Admin Roles*
Select one or more users from the dropdown list for Integration Admin and Security & Governance Admin. All users configured in the security settings are available for selection.
No of Archive Objects
No Of Archive Objects*
This shows the number of recent metadata changes to a dataset at the source. By default, it is off. To enable it, toggle the Archive button and specify the number of objects to archive.
Example: Setting it to 4 retrieves the last four changes, displayed in the 'Version' column of the 'Metadata Changes' module.
