This error can occur when the PHP client library fails to find any HTTP handlers to make HTTP requests. You might need to install and enable certain PHP extentions, like ‘ext-curl’ or ‘ext-openssl’. Check your PHP configuration and installed extensions. The error usually arises due to missing extensions or misconfiguration.

Hey there! What you’re looking to do is totally doable in GA4. It’s all about creating a “multi-step funnel.” Here’s how you can do that:

Start off with your homepage and then just add the other pages (like the resource page and the career page, using your example) as steps in the funnel.

Now, to actually make this happen, take a look to the left of your GA4 screen. You’ll see a menu, and in there you should see an ‘Explore’ option. Click that and then spot the ‘Funnel Exploration’ option and click on that.

Once you’re there, you’ll find a ‘Steps’ section where you can set up each page of your site as a step in your funnel. That’s it! Now you can track the path your users are taking on your site.

It appears from the documentation found here, that you can set your item parameters in the event parameters section. It should look something like .

Here’s an example of how it could be structured in the variable:

[
    {
      item_id: "SKU_12345",
      item_name: "Stan and Friends Tee",
      affiliation: "Google Merchandise Store",
      coupon: "SUMMER_FUN",
      discount: 2.22,
      index: 0,
      item_brand: "Google",
      item_category: "Apparel",
      item_category2: "Adult",
      item_category3: "Shirts",
      item_category4: "Crew",
      item_category5: "Short sleeve",
      item_list_id: "related_products",
      item_list_name: "Related Products",
      item_variant: "green",
      location_id: "ChIJIQBpAG2ahYAR_6128GcTUEo",
      price: 9.99,
      quantity: 1
    }
]

It seems more straightforward than you’d think, right?

The error you’re getting is due to an issue with the compatibility between the dimensions and metrics in your request. According to the link provided in the error message, not all combinations of dimensions and metrics are valid. The lists of dimensions and metrics used in a request must be compatible with each other and with the API itself. Although you mentioned you need to track ‘eventCount’ by ‘date’, ‘campaignId’, ‘campaignName’, and ‘eventName’, it’s possible that the ‘eventCount’ metric is not compatible with one or more of these dimensions. Consider altering your request accordingly, with different metric or dimension selections that are compatible with each other.

Also keep in mind that sometimes using only dimension or only metrics isn’t possible because certain API names are not supported in Dimension or Metric. More details on the issue can be found at this GitHub issue link: https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-ruby/issues/20138.

Lastly, reviewing the documentation found at: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1/api-schema, might lead you to find alternate schema names for the Metrics fields you’re trying to pull. For example, replace ‘itemListViewEvents’ with ‘itemViewEvents’ and ‘itemViewEvents’ with ‘itemsViewed’.

Sure, you got it! So, you can simply plug this in as a parameter in your GA4 config tag, that way it’ll log the parameter’s value with each page. But here’s the thing: if that value can shift around on one single page without that page getting refreshed or swapped out, you would be better off going ahead and whipping up a new datalayer event. Also, make a matching GTM trigger and tag. This way, any time our shifty value decides to change, you’ll nab it then and there, rather than twiddling your thumbs until the next page loads. Hope this helps clarify things for you!

The issue could reside in a couple of potential areas in your code.

One problem could be in how you determine the data range in your Google Sheets. The code “B2: L80” + sh.getLastRow() is meant to get data from B2 to the last row of the L column. However, it may not be working as you expect because “B2: L80” + sh.getLastRow() translates to “B2: L80[Ending Row Number]”, which is not a valid range in Google Sheets. Instead, you’d want it to translate to “B2:L[Ending Row Number]”.

Another potential issue could be with the comparison operator. You are checking if overdueValue is a string “TRUE”, instead of a Boolean true. Depending on how your sheet is set up, this could be the cause of the problem. If the overdueValue is recorded as a Boolean value in your sheet (i.e., true without quotes), then your if condition will never be truthy.

Lastly, ensure that you are using the correct column index. The r[9] notation is zero-based, r[0] represents the ‘B’ column, therefore r[9] represents the ‘K’ column and not ‘J’ column. Ensure that the overdueValue represents the correct column on your sheet. Similarly, check the name variable, r[10] represents the ‘L’ column.

Also, make sure the email value “xxxx@gmail.com” is replaced with the actual email address you want the function to send notifications to.

You should also check if the function has the necessary permissions to access the GmailApp, and that any script triggers that are supposed to call this function are set up correctly.

Alright, so here’s the deal. The same weird thing you’re seeing on your site with Google Optimize and GA4, I’m seeing it on my site too! GA4 seems totally fine, and according to Google Optimize it’s all set up correctly. But here’s the snag – it’s showing zero for experiment sessions. Also, your screenshot has this weird “Experiment Clients” thing. I’ve never seen that before, is it something to do with a server-side experiment? Just so as you know, we’ve set up our GA4 account with server-side tagging, but we’re doing just a normal client-side Optimize experiment. It’s a head-scratcher alright!
