Hey, in your situation, it’s not about creating new properties for different people or stakeholders but for different types of activities that you’re tracking. So, more properties wouldn’t necessarily be beneficial.

Yes, GA4 doesn’t use views, but you can still filter reports using the hostname dimension. Using hostname-based segments would be a great way to help stakeholders make sense of the data.

For tracking your apps, Firebase is the way to go. It syncs directly with GA4 in its own datastream, so why not keep it with the web data?!

Just remember to not dive into creating more properties unless it’s really needed. It can lead to needless complexity that can throw a wrench in the data collection and processing stages. And let’s face it – nobody likes dealing with a complex mess when they don’t have to. Keep it clean and simple, my friend!

Sure! In GA4 (the latest version of Google Analytics), you can definitely get the count of any named event, regardless if it’s marked as a conversion or not. For instance, you mentioned the event ‘events:online_enquiry – you can get a count of that!

One way to go about it is by using Google’s runReport API. With this, you’re essentially creating a report where the ‘dimension’ would be ‘eventName’ and the ‘metric’ can be ‘eventCount’. This way, you can get the count of how many times that specific event happened.

Google even gives you a list of all available dimensions and metrics, so you can mix and match to get exactly the data you need. It’s like creating your own custom report!

So, to answer your question, yes, it’s totally feasible. But, of course, it’s always good to explore other options or ways to do it.

Sure, I hear you. Basically, at the moment, you can’t link two separate BigQuery projects from the same GA4 property. It’s like this: you’ve got one GA4 property, and once you link it to a BigQuery project, you won’t be able to make a second link to a different project. So, the option to link becomes unavailable. The cool part is that you actually can link many GA4 properties to one BigQuery project if you want. It’ll arrange them into separate data sets, each labeled with its own property ID. So not all is lost!

Yep, the issue is solved. I’m not exactly sure which specific event needed to be triggered, but I found a trick. First, I ran ‘monitorEvents(el)’ in the tools console. After then manually interacting with the form field–the way that gets the field validated–I looked over all the events that appeared. This way, you can try likely events directly instead of going through everything.

Now, the surefire solution was to trigger a bunch of events, like this:

`javascript
el.dispatchEvent(new Event(“focus”));
el.dispatchEvent(new Event(“pointerup”));
el.dispatchEvent(new Event(“mouseup”));
el.dispatchEvent(new Event(“click”));
el.dispatchEvent(new Event(“keydown”));
el.dispatchEvent(new Event(“input”));
el.dispatchEvent(new Event(“keyup”));
el.dispatchEvent(new Event(“keypress”));
el.dispatchEvent(new Event(“textInput”));
el.dispatchEvent(new Event(“blur”));
`
This worked like a charm!
