Sure, if you’ve got access to the back-end where you’re adding the link, you might want to consider using Google’s data layer to track an event instead of redirects. Essentially it means you listen for when the link is clicked and then track that click event. You can use this to record when the link was clicked, where the click came from, and… Read more

I’m having a problem accessing GA4 data for some webpages. My sites are in Coldfusion so I don’t use a client library. According to the latest Data API
Google Analytics Data API v1 migration guide, there’s this link I can use without a client library.

So, the standard GA4 report you’re using, termed as Method: properties.runReport, is mainly designed to handle processed data. What this means is that there’s typically a delay of around 24 to 48 hours for data processing, which inherently doesn’t make it the best fit for instant data.

If your primary focus is real-time data, such as getting the… Read more

Absolutely, happy to help! If you’re working with a React Native project for iOS or Android applications, you will need to include the Firebase SDK to set up data collection for Google Analytics 4 (GA4). It’s a necessary step, due to the way the systems are setup to integrate with each other. But if you’re working on a web project, it’s a bit… Read more

Absolutely, I’d be happy to help you understand how this works in Google Analytics 4 (GA4). GA4 has a new way of analyzing and reporting link clicks which makes it easier to monitor outbound links. To track clicks on a specific link like ‘/cgi-bin/abdl.cgi?abc.com’, you would set up a new ‘Event’ in GA4. This event will then record every time a… Read more

The user tried to add GA4 analytics to a Chrome Extension using the Measurement Protocol specified by Google’s instructions but didn’t get any event data. Their first approach included the measurement id and api secret as variables in the fetch URL. However, they managed to make it work when they put these values directly into the URL.

Alright, I need to figure out how to stop GA4 from automatically attaching these “_gl=xxx” tail ends to all my external links. I feel like I’ve tried everything, from disabling “click” event tracking to turning off automatic event detection, and even user-provided-data.

I even modified the js tracking code a bit, check it out:

Sorry mate, but as of now, Google Analytics 4 doesn’t provide an API for automatic data imports like Universal Analytics (UA) did. It’s a bummer, I know! You’d have to stick to the old school manual uploading via the web until Google adds this feature.

“Hey there, I’m facing some troubles with importing costs via SFTP. I’ve set up a SFTP server for testing and although I can connect to it from outside the network, I can’t get past the ‘Create & generate key’. When using the correct username and server url in the ‘Data import’ settings, I’m just getting a 500 error without much detail.

What’s… Read more

Seems like there’s an issue with your conversions showing up in GA4 from GTM server-side. Ensure that your events are being classified properly and the conversion setting is correctly enabled. Also, sometimes there can be delays, so allow it some time. If the problem persists, contacting Google’s support might be the next step.
