MC Navigator

Explore Marketing Cloud Engagement: Data Extension tree, automations, queries, journeys, imports and read/write lineage.

MC Navigator speeds up day-to-day work on Salesforce Marketing Cloud Engagement. Open it in the side panel (or a full tab) and find what you need in seconds. • Data Extension tree – browse folders (shared ones included) with DE counts and instant filtering. • Global search – Data Extensions, automations, queries, scripts, journeys, imports and folders by name or key, and even inside SQL and SSJS/AMPscript code. • Data lineage – for every Data Extension see which queries, imports, journeys and scripts write it or read it, the upstream sources, the downstream targets and the automations (and steps) involved. • Automations – status, schedule in plain language, last run, steps and activities, Data Extensions read and written, journeys they feed. • Queries – highlighted SQL, sources (including ENT. and system data views), target and update mode, unused queries. • Journeys – status, version, entry source with entry DE and feeding automation, activities, Update Contact writes. • File imports – file pattern, file location, update mode, destination DE and where the file comes from: Marketing Cloud report/extract, File Transfer or external system. Imports pointing to a deleted DE are flagged. • Panel inside Marketing Cloud – when you open a Data Extension in Contact Builder or Email Studio, an automation in Automation Studio or a journey in Journey Builder, a compact panel next to it shows who writes it, who reads it and the automations involved. • Search inside Marketing Cloud – press ⌘K / Ctrl+K on any Marketing Cloud page to search the index and jump straight to a Data Extension, automation or journey. • Content Builder and CloudPages – emails, content blocks and CloudPages with their code: where each block is used, which journeys send an email and which Data Extensions the AMPscript reads or writes. • SQL and SSJS editor – suggestions of Data Extensions and fields from the index, and a query check that catches missing fields, values longer than the target field, a missing primary key and other errors before the automation runs. The SQL editor also offers a Data Extension panel (fields to tick and insert, sample rows, what uses it), JOINs with the ON condition suggested, a card of the fields when you point at a Data Extension in the query, several queries running at once, a comparison of two results, and your own snippets. • Open in Marketing Cloud – direct links to Contact Builder, Automation Studio and Journey Builder. • Excel export – the lineage of one DE or of the whole business unit, generated locally. • Always up to date – changes made in Marketing Cloud reach the index by themselves, in the background and even with the side panel closed. Only what changed is read again, and you can turn it off or choose how often in Settings. • Change log – what changed from one refresh to the next: new, modified and deleted objects, status and schedule changes, and the line-by-line diff of SQL, script code and automation steps, with the history of every object. • Automation order – which automations feed which, and a warning when one reads a Data Extension while another is still writing it, starts too soon after it, or reads it before its own step writes it. • Contact search – type a Subscriber Key or an email and see which sendable Data Extensions hold it, with the whole record in a table you can copy. With one switch it also reads the subscriber status, the lists and the history of sends, opens, clicks and bounces from the data views, using a temporary query that is deleted right after. • Documentation for every object – one click turns an automation, Data Extension, query, script, journey, import or piece of content into a document for Confluence, a ticket or an AI assistant: what it reads and writes, who uses it, fields, SQL and code, recent changes, as Markdown or HTML. • English and Italian interface. How it connects: with Marketing Cloud open and logged in, MC Navigator reuses that session. No credentials to configure, and your user permissions apply. Read-only by default: MC Navigator reads metadata through GET requests. Everything that writes to Marketing Cloud stays off until you turn on editing in Settings: saving queries, scripts and Content Builder content (every save shows the changes and asks for confirmation), editing, importing (CSV) and deleting Data Extension rows, and running queries from the SQL editor. To run a query it creates a temporary query and Data Extension and deletes them right after; Save to DE creates the Data Extension and, if you ask for it, the Query Activity. Apart from the rows you delete, it never deletes anything it did not create. Private by design: everything stays in your browser. There is no MC Navigator server and no tracking. Anonymous usage statistics (which list you open, version, language) are on by default and you can turn them off in Settings. Try it without a Marketing Cloud account using the built-in demo data.
