Unfortunately, as of now, there’s no way to fetch the ‘user_pseudo_id’ through the GA4 API. While it’s true that the clientId for Universal Analytics (UA) wasn’t listed in the API documentation yet it was retrievable as a dimension, this isn’t the case for the ‘user_pseudo_id’ in GA4. If you have your GA4 data flowing into Google BigQuery, the… Read more

In simpler terms, your solution lies with Google Tag Manager. All you gotta do is pass the ‘user_pseudo_id’ as a custom user parameter there, and you just need to do it once. After that, all your GA4 tags will follow the path you set. There’s a useful tutorial link in your message that explains how to do this, so give that a whirl. This should… Read more

Totally get the struggle here. In GA4, you might want to check out the “+ Add Comparison” feature for this problem. Apparently, you can look for your filter names through this function which might help you differentiate internal and external traffic without wiping data. Do give this a shot, might just be the solution you’re looking for. I’d love… Read more

It sounds like you’re having trouble getting the event tracking information you’re setting up in Avo to show up in Google Analytics 4, and you think the issue might be with the setup in Google Analytics 4 itself. Unfortunately, without seeing your actual code or having a clearer understanding of your setup, it’s hard to pinpoint what might be… Read more

Turns out, the issue was with scopes – specifically, mixing up session and event ones. The ‘transactions’ data is session scoped, while the other stuff I was pulling in was event scoped. So the numbers I was getting were basically useless, because they weren’t compatible. Weirdly, the API let me do this while the dashboard wouldn’t. To fix this,… Read more

There could be a few reasons why your custom table is missing transaction data compared to the Google Analytics Ecommerce UI view. One possibility is that you might be omitting necessary dimensions or metrics in your code that capture the missing transaction data. For example, the ‘transactionId’ metric is usually crucial in order to account for… Read more

How can I track the daily views of a specific page (like my “Contact Us” page) over time with Google Analytics GA4? I was able to do this with Universal Analytics, but can’t figure out how to do it in GA4. Any suggestions?

Hiya, buddies! So, here’s the scoop. I’ve been trying to work on updating the default uri for a datastream I’ve already set up using the Google.Analytics.Admin.V1Beta .NET library. Funny enough, it only seems to be updating the name, but it refuses to touch the stream url. And the weirdest part? No error messages, nada, zilch.

Here’s the code I…

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) does not currently have a built-in way to manually end a session like its predecessor, Universal Analytics, did. Sessions in GA4 are automatically ended after 30 minutes of inactivity or at midnight local time. While it’s possible to manually start a session using the session_start event, this doesn’t directly affect the… Read more

So, this is a bit of an interesting puzzle you’ve got on your hands. Your issue is with Google Analytics 4 (GA4) where events keep repeating themselves a bit like a flashy disco light. I know, not exactly the greatest party, right? This happens for both automatic and custom events. Adding to the mix is the strange behaviour of these duplicates… Read more

I’m sorry but your question is missing the actual PHP source code you’re referring to. For me to be able to guide you properly, it would be necessary to include the code you’re working with. That being said, HTTP status code 204 indicates that the server has successfully processed the request and there is no additional content to send in the… Read more

Hey there, I’m just starting out with GA4 implementation and I’m trying to get my head around integrating the Ecommerce tracking code using the gtag.js library. Can you give me a hand with this?

Your question sparks a key differentiation between Universal Analytics and GA4. With Universal Analytics, events will record category, label, and value information by default, directly through the actual call itself. For example, the gtag code you provided.

On the other hand, GA4 doesn’t inherently support this. If you want the event_category a… Read more
