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 other stuff that might be useful. This way, you’re effectively designing that new link to take care of your tracking before sending the user to the next page, as you mentioned wanting to do. Here’s to happy tracking!

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 active users in the last half hour along with their respective cities, the method you should be considering is Creating a Realtime Report. This should typically give you the immediate metrics you’re currently looking for. But, do remember that real-time reports have their limitations in terms of the dimensions and metrics they support.
Essentially, it’s more about aligning your needs with the right report type. Realtime report would be more suitable for what you need in this scenario.

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.

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.

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 different. You just need to add the Google tag to your web pages, and then you’ll start seeing data in your GA4 property. It’s quite straightforward once you get the hang of it. Don’t get overwhelmed, you’ll do great!

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 visitor clicks on that particular link.
To see how many people clicked the link, you would navigate to the ‘Events’ section in your GA4 dashboard and look for the event you set up earlier. There, you can see the number of times that event (the link click) occurred.
If you want to know which day they are clicking the link, you can use the ‘Date Range’ filter at the top of the ‘Events’ page. This allows you to analyze data for a specific date, or a range of dates. Through this, you’ll be able to see how many link clicks happened on each day within your chosen date range.
It might be worth considering asking a technical expert or doing a bit of extra research to help you with the setup and detailed analysis, but this should give you a basic rundown of how to track outbound link clicks and associated data in GA4.

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.
