How to indentify list of unique email domains

Here is my business case. I want to indentify list of unique email domains in my database. Is there a way it can be done?

Here are a couple of approaches I thought but ran in to roadblocks.

1> A lead preformance report would have been great fit here if I can group by a subset of email address field. i.e. domain name. But it is not supported to be grouped by a subset of a field value.

2> I thought there might be a way to use API to get this kind of data out. 
For example, by using getLead by EMAIL 
as explained here,
https://community.marketo.com/MarketoArticle?id=kA050000000L3FlCAK

The question is if this call returns the 'exact' match of the email address passed. Like Rajesh@BrightAspects.com
or
it returns all the records which 'contain' the string I pass. So I can pass just the domain name.such as @BrightAspects.com to get a list of all email addresses in the database from that domain.

There are a couple of other ways to solve this but I am not looking to use webhooks, create a new field and can not assime that all Marketo leads are also in SFDC. Any other ideas?

Thanks

Rajesh

    Rajesh, you could use a new beta feature called "Munchtions" that allows you do add functions to Change Data Values. One function is "regex replace", which allows you to extract the domain from the email address (and many other things). This would be the syntax:

    • Smart List
      • trigger: Lead is Created
      • trigger: data value changes, attribute is "email address"
      • filter: email address is not empty
    • Flow
      • Change Data Value, Attribute "email domain", new value: ##REGEX_REPLACE({{lead.Email Address}},"/.+(?<=@)/","")##
    • ​Schedule
      • ​Run every time

    You will have to ask Support to enable this feature.

    Once you have the domain in a separate field, it should be much easier to count the number of unique domains, for example a Lead Performance report grouped by "email domain" (time period: all time).

    MODERATOR EDIT: This feature is only available for internal use.  Support is not able to enable this for customer use at this time.

    I too tried this once by using the field "domain name". I just add domain names to a set of emails and used that domain field in smartlist to filter out the email address for the corresponding domains. But marketo does the filter only to email address not to domains... also please tell me if there is any way on this.

    Hello Everyone

    I called Marketo support and they enabled it for me. I have yet to try it but it is certainly something i will be putting in place really soon.

    Does anyone know any other option with can use with Munchtions? Support is telling they seem to work the same as excel functions, for which there is a guide here: support.office.com/en-gb/article/Excel-functions-by-category-5f91f4e9-7b42-46d2-9bd1-63f26a86c0eb#__toc309306717

    Please let me know
