This would also allow us to automate annotations when we send email marketing, 
post to 
blogs or social networks, etc. - would be very powerful!

Issues with current API model though (hint in the name 'Export') as it only 
allows 
access to data not modification.

Excellent idea which will definately work for all us marketers.

It would be useful to add this feature so linkbuilding, PR, or ppc change 
activity
can be recorded in GA.

Here are some other examples of useful data to add annotations to...

Google News Events

f=all&output=rss

Chart + News on Googlefinance

We're an ESP and we'd really like to automatically create annotations in our 
clients' GA when they launch a 
mailing.   But another, perhaps better, way to track "external events that 
drive website traffic indirectly" is 
integration with a Google Calendar.

This would be an awesome addition and would help our customers to better 
understand
how what we're working on how publishing great content to the web affects their
traffic and repeat visitors.

ecommerce users could push an annotation when a product goes out and out of 
stock and
use analytics to measure trends in sales.

With the launch of the Management API, shouldn't this be included?

Anyone know if this is in the new management API?  I have been looking 
feverishly for some sort of information on this subject, but all I seem to be 
able to find is wishful thinking.

Hi, John as far as I know the new management won't allow you to add annotations.

+1 on this request. I'd like to add automation in our website for recording 
when a new post is written as well as number of other things to keep good notes 
on what is going on.

Oh hell yeah. This would be so useful.

If Google does this, I'll write a Wordpress plugin that taps into it. (As 
suggested by Nick here:

I hope this gets implemented. This would be extremely useful. 

Original comment by mareks...@gmail.com on 1 Sep 2011 at 3:14

This feature would help put trends in context. 

When considering this feature, it may be helpful to imagine multiple audiences 
using it. For example, as melvin said above, the dev team can automate the 
notifications of code changes. Email marketers can note major newsletter or 
offer mailings. Paid advertisers can note the launch date of campaigns. 
Optimizers can note A/B or MVT test launches, etc. It would be helpful if these 
were categorized so we can see all public dev anotations, all email 
annotations, personal private annotations etc.

Since many of the stakeholders are using various software packages to update or 
report, having API access to read AND write annotations would provide a very 
useful level of functionality.

+one on my end

This would allow us to add annotations based on published content for a news 
website I manage. Some kind of csv upload or xml file linking could also be a 
solution.

This would allow our CMS to auto-insert a comment every time we published 
content - which would be extremely useful.

Original comment by ynu...@gmail.com on 15 Nov 2011 at 10:10

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I think this feature would be great as I want to get a hook into Capistrano/git 
so whenever a dev deploys they can give a comment that describes the change 
thats just been implemented. Then looking back we can see what changes actually 
made a difference

I'm voting for this as well. It would be a huge time saver. In practice it 
would also allow for webmasters/ businesses to track more events that occur and 
therefore make much better decisions for users across the web.
