The problem this person is experiencing is that they are trying to track who visits their web pages (known as “page_view events”) while at the same time collecting certain information from those visitors. The difficulty emerges because the required information isn’t always immediately available and only comes later. This is due to the fact that… Read more

Okay, let’s take a step back for a moment. Google Analytics can be a bit tricky, but you’ve got this! First, the cookie domain and referral traffic are not part of the problem here. And don’t worry about GSC, it doesn’t apply to this situation.

Instead, let’s start by checking for any distinct values in the hostname dimension in your GA report.… Read more

Yes, you can indeed share a template of your custom reports without sharing your data. GA4 allows you to create a shareable link of your report configuration. This link doesn’t include any of your data, but it does allow anyone with the link to set up the same report in their own GA4 properties with their own data. The process includes going to… Read more

Your situation is complex, but it seems like there could be an issue with how you’re initializing and configuring the gtag and GTM scripts. First, ensure that you’ve correctly generated a gtag tracking code in your Google Analytics account and added this to your code. Equally, confirm that you have a GTM container setup in your Google Tag Manager… Read more

In Google Tag Manager, it is technically possible to mix and match version 1 and version 2 data layer variables within the same container. However, the behavior of these variables can be different, which might lead to unexpected results.

The issue you are experiencing with ‘phoneNumber’ not being removed after pushing and then removing it, might… Read more

Hey there! I’ve been working hard trying to fix up the GTM and dataLayer for the non plus store on Shopify. My goal is to make sure the item_variant value is correctly updated in the items array for GA4. Here’s an example of what I’ve coded so far in liquid:

{% if template contains 'product' %}  
   // Code pushing data to 'view_item' event…

Hey there! So, I’ve been in the trenches migrating our setup from Universal Analytics over to GA4. Right now, we’re working magic on the server side with Node.js to bring users’ IP addresses to their simplest form and sending our data in batches. We’re doing it this way so we can keep our users’ info under wraps by only sending data after a… Read more

Hey there! I’m trying to figure out a way to fire an event to GA4 when a user brings up an LWC div element by clicking a button (like an error text pop-up). This element is tucked away in Shadow DOM (think Salesforce greetings), and the usual GTM elementVisibility trigger won’t detect it as the querySelector method turns up nothing.

On my end,… Read more

Sure thing, mate! This is pretty straightforward. Just import the react-ga4 package at the top of your file:

`javascript
import ReactGA from ‘react-ga4’;
`

Then, inside the setup function of createInertiaApp, you can initialize it with your Google Analytics measurement ID:

`javascript
ReactGA.initialize(“your GA measurement ID”);
`

So, you’ll… Read more

Your issue might be due to Google Analytics sending data to a different URL. In your code, you’re specifically looking for “https://analytics.google.com/g/collect” in the logs. However, Google Analytics has been known to send data to “https://www.google-analytics.com/j/collect.” If this is the case, your condition wouldn’t be met, hence the… Read more

Sure, no problem! So, here’s the deal. In GA4, you can go to ‘Admin’ and click on ‘Custom Definitions’. There, you can generate a new dimension (which is basically the same thing as your previous event parameter).

Consider this as an empty bucket that’s ready to hold any value you send its way. So you can assign different values to this single… Read more
