    It appears that you’re having some trouble getting an access token from the Google API. This is part of the process for being able to display Google Analytics reports on your webpage. The error that you’re encountering could be due to a variety of reasons including incorrect setup or issues with your code. Unfortunately, without knowing the specifics of your setup and your code, it’s difficult to provide a straightforward solution. However, here’s a general approach you can take:

    First, double-check all the steps you took when setting up your OAuth Client Id in Google Cloud console. Ensure all the required fields are properly filled and that it’s properly linked to your webpage. Next, review your code to see if there are any errors or oversights. Compare it with examples from Google’s documentation or from other trusted sources to see if there’s anything you missed or did differently. Consider working with a coding expert or seeking help in a coding community. They may be able to spot errors or provide insights that could help you solve your problem.

    Remember, coding can often be a process of trial and error, and it may take a bit of patience and perseverance to figure it out. I hope this helps and best of luck!

    Absolutely! Here’s how it works:

    1. For the event ‘map_grid_view’, you don’t actually have to get your hands dirty with any custom dimension setup. Without doing anything, you’ll be able to see how many times that event occurs. Simple as that!

    2. Now, say you decide to roll up your sleeves and define ‘click_text’ and ‘page_path’ as custom dimensions. Then, you decide to include these same parameters in a few other events you’ve set up. All of that sweet information will indeed start to flow right into GA4 once you set loose your GTM container. And yep, what you’re suggesting is totally fine! Plus, by reusing those custom dimensions, you’re making the most of the limit set by the free version of GA4, which only lets you register up to 50 custom dimensions and metrics. It’s clever to keep this limit in mind, especially if your tracking needs might grow more complex down the line.

    The question you asked seems to be missing some details. It’s not clear which ‘term’ you’re referring to, which is why it is difficult to provide an accurate answer. In the broad field of analytics, there are many terms and jargon that are used, many of which can be found in guides like those for Google Analytics. Please clarify which specific term you are referring to so I could provide a better response.

    In principle, Google Analytics 4 (GA4) exports raw event data directly into Google BigQuery without any form of thresholding or data sampling. The “Data Thresholding” you see in your GA4 reports doesn’t apply to the BigQuery export. It’s possible that your missing events might be due to other reasons. You may want to check that the integration between GA4 and BigQuery is set up correctly and that there aren’t any issues with how the specific events are tracked or set up in GA4. It could also be due to a delay in data transferring between GA4 and BigQuery. Be sure that all your user permission settings are correct. If the problem persists, you should consider reaching out to Google support for more detailed assistance.

  • It appears that GA4 isn’t correctly associating your events to user dimensions because the client session_id and session_number parameters are missing in your events data. Despite not being mentioned in the GA4 MP documentation, including these parameters in the params object of each event, along with the client_id, should correctly tie client data to your events. There’s a bug report related to this issue which provides a relevant example, you can find it at https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/243678686. Even though it was rejected by the Google team, the information should help in solving your issue.
