When you exclude internal IPs, all the traffic that originates from these IPs will not be tracked by Google Analytics. As your admin page sits on one of these excluded internal IPs, you won’t be able to track events that happen there. You can get around this by creating a separate property for internal traffic on Google Analytics, or you could also temporarily remove the IPs from the exclusion list when you need to test the events.
Regarding the issue of making refunds clear to GA4, you cannot modify the internal preset values directly in Google Analytics. However, you can send the data related to refunds by using specific event parameters. Google Analytics allows tracking of several ecommerce-related events out of the box. You can use the ‘refund’ event when a refund is processed. You can also include ‘items’ (which takes an array of item objects) to provide more details if needed. This should give you a better understanding of how refunds are affecting your business while using Google Analytics 4. Always review the GA4 documentation for accurate and up-to-date information.

Creating an identical “Test Property” on GA4 would be the best move. However, to do so with the same data, you would need to set up the same GTM tags to push data to this new property. Also, in the GTM, duplicate the tags you use for your main property but change the GA4 configuration to your new GA4 property ID.

The exact reason why the Analytics Admin API does not appear in the APIs Explorer is not stated, but it could be due to several reasons. Google occasionally migrates certain services or APIs away from the APIs Explorer, or it could be that the Analytics Admin API is not set up for testing through the APIs Explorer. Also, google has recently launched API v4 and has made significant changes to it, and it is possible Google may still be updating the APIs Explorer to include these. Finally, the API may not be publicly available for browsing or it might need certain permissions that aren’t provided in the APIs Explorer. You should confirm with Google’s official documentation or support channels for the exact reason.

It sounds like you might be capturing all events, not just the specific file downloads you want. Try adjusting the segment to filter out “Event count” that aren’t tied to the PDF downloads. You could also double-check that “Link Text” corresponds only to the PDF downloads. Testing with a smaller number of known downloads might help pinpoint where the mismatches are happening. Remember, aim for precision, not just a high event count!

You can track the daily views of a specific page by using the ‘Engagement -> Pages and screens’ report in GA4. This report is equivalent to the ‘All Pages’ report in Universal Analytics. After you open this report, you can use the search bar on the right side to find a specific page (like your “Contact Us” page). GA4 doesn’t provide a default way to see the trend of page views on a daily basis. To see this data, you might have to export the data to a different service like Google Sheets or Google Data Studio and create a report there. You can set up automatic daily exports to ensure the data in your report is always up to date. Additionally, you can also set up custom events for whenever a user navigates to a specific page and track those specific events over time.

Sure, let me break it down for you. Your Google Tag Manager (GTM) ID is different from your GA3 or GA4 IDs. They’re not meant to be the same, so no worries there.
When you create tags in GTM for your GA accounts, you’ll need to use the specific measurement ID for GA4, or the property ID for UA.
Now comes the careful part: You’ll need to set-up your tracking in GTM the same way you had it in GA. To make sure you got it right, you can compare the network requests from your website sent by the GTM version with those from your current setup.
If everything looks good, you can go ahead, publish your container in GTM and then remove the old GA setup. This way, you won’t lose any historical data and you’re all set for your fancy tracking events!
