Hey, we’re working on a cool feature: getting email alerts whenever our revenue data takes a nosedive. However, it seems we aren’t receiving the emails as expected. Could any codewarriors out there lend a hand and show us where we may be going wrong in the code?

function sendEmail() {
  const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  const sh =…

Hey there! So, I’ve been trying to whip up a new report in Google Sheets for one of my websites for some dashboard data collection. But I’ve hit a snag – for some reason, only Universal Analytics properties pop up on the list. Google Analytics 4 properties are a no-show! Do you reckon Google Sheets can’t cozy up with GA4? And do you think it will…

Hey there, need a little help understanding how to track how long a user has a modal window open using Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. I’m working with a non-Analytics Universal setup, so I’m guessing using GTM events is the best way to go.

I notice there’s a “Timer” activator, but I’m a bit lost on how to put it to work. I reckon I can…

The data discrepancy you’re experiencing may be due to “data sampling” in Google Analytics. When you add more dimensions to your query, the required computations become complex and Google Analytics reverts to using a sample of data rather than the full dataset to speed up operations. This results in slightly varying data when compared to the full,… Read more

From the error message, it seems that the problem could be happening due to a few possible reasons:

– You might not have set up or enabled the API you’re trying to call in your Google Cloud console for your project.

– If the APIs are set up correctly, then it could be a problem with setting up the correct permissions or the scope of the OAuth… Read more

No, it is not possible to use Google Analytics 4 with mobile apps without Firebase. Firebase is at the core of Google’s mobile app analytics solution. Google Analytics 4 (GA4) relies on Firebase for mobile app data collection. Therefore, to use GA4 with your Android or iOS app, you will need to integrate your app with Firebase.

No, it’s not possible to grab the session ID from Google Analytics 4 using the Google Tag Manager variable. This is because Google Analytics 4 doesn’t use the same concept of session ID as Universal Analytics. In Universal Analytics, each session that a user has on your site is assigned a unique session ID. However, in Google Analytics 4, Google… Read more

To resolve the error you’re experiencing, you might have to modify your Podfile (part of your project’s configuration) to instruct it to generate what are called module maps for certain dependencies. This helps with the communication between different parts of your project. The error message suggests two ways to do this – either by adding a line… Read more

The situation you described seems unusual. Generally, it should work as soon as you create a Data Filter in GA4. However, data processing in Google Analytics can sometimes take up to 24-48 hours. This delay might be the reason why your Data Filter is not reflecting in the Real Time reports yet. It could also be due to a misconfiguration in your… Read more

There could be multiple factors that cause discrepancies between the tracking numbers in Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Universal Analytics (UA). Keep in mind that GA4 and UA use different algorithms for determining what constitutes a unique session. Also, make sure the time zone settings are identical in both platforms. If all parameters are set… Read more

Yes, you could add a time dimension to GA4. However, implementing this and having the information reflect in Looker Studio might be a little tricky. GA4 does indeed default dimensions to include date and hour, and there’s also the ‘dateHourMinute’ dimension provided by GA4, but using GTM might not be enough. You would likely need to create a… Read more

It appears that your implementation of content grouping may not be working correctly. In GA4, Google Analytics has removed content grouping functionality which was available in the Universal Analytics version. Instead, it has an ‘event’ based model. For categorizing pages, you may have to set up a custom dimension and then specify those category… Read more

Currently, if you link GA4 and BigQuery, Google only provides data from the day you linked it and won’t backfill historical data prior to that. Therefore, if you want to access the data from before May 6th, you would need to find another method. Writing a Python script could potentially solve this problem. However, it would depend on your coding… Read more

Oh yes, you’re on the money – you’ll need to fill up GA4 with new event tags for all the data you want to continue tracking. The migration assistant isn’t flawless, and many folks think it’s simpler to start clean on GA4.

But don’t fret! This fresh start could be a blessing in disguise. During your Universal Analytics tenure, there’s a pretty…
