Yes, technically it’s possible to register a conversion when the iframe div changes, as mentioned, but it might be more complex due to the nature of iframes. This is because the iframe content tends to be treated as a separate document and does not interact seamlessly with its parent page. This might demand some advanced JavaScript coding where a listener is implemented to watch for changes in the iframe. When the listener detects a change (like the appearance of the “Thanks for submitting your contact us submission” message), it triggers a GA4 event, which can be marked as a conversion. It’s important to note that this can require specific technical skills and a deep understanding of both the document structure and the Google Analytics 4 platform. Always seek expert advice if you are uncertain so as to ensure accurate data collection and reporting.

It looks like there may be some confusion over how Google Analytics 4 (GA4) operates with the Google Tag Manager Server (GTMS). When you pass an event to GTMS, it typically sends it to GA4 via the Measurement Protocol endpoint (www.google-analytics.com/mp/collect). However, GA4 can also send this data to the gtag.js endpoint (www.google-analytics.com/g/collect) as part of its normal operation. What’s important here is payload of the request. If there’s a mismatch or if some required parameters, like session_id, are missing or differently formatted, GA4 might not interpret the data correctly. It would be a good idea to closely examine the structure and content of your initial event and compare it with what’s actually being sent to GA4. This will help you understand if there is any discrepancy causing GA4 to misunderstand the session_id. If this doesn’t solve the problem, you might need to consult GA4 documentation or seek help from the Google’s support community.

Dealing with the v1Beta API can feel like you’re trying to have a chat with a stubborn mule, mate. But it’s not all bad, I’ve got a neat PHP workaround that might just do the trick for you.

Check out this PHP class called ‘analytics’. With it, I can set my property ID with setPropertyId, grab the credentials file using private function getCredentials, and get my client set up with getClient.

The clincher is in this ‘get’ function, where I make a ‘runReport’ request. You can input your property id, start and end dates, dimensions, and metrics. It’s a bit like ordering a meal – asking it nicely (obviously) to fetch your desired data within a certain timeframe.

After the response comes in, I use a simple foreach loop to go through the rows, returning the values I need.

So, give this a stab, mate. Incorporating segments is a bit like requesting extra gravy on your chips. Customize as needed and look at your result in different ways by changing the dimensions and metrics. Happy coding!

The details provided are quite vague and it’s hard to determine the exact cause of your issue. However, a 500 status code generally indicates a server error. Possible issues could include improper configurations in your ‘TestController.php’ or ‘laravel-google-analytics.php’ files, outdated or incompatible package versions, or an issue with the Laravel framework itself. You might want to double-check your configurations against the package instructions. Also, make sure that your Laravel Lumen, Google Analytics package, and PHP versions are up to date and compatible with one another. Posting your actual code instead of ‘[…]’ would also make it easier for others to diagnose the problem. Additionally, you could check the Laravel log files for any specific error messages.

While the documentation suggests you should be able to use a Data Filter as soon as it’s created, in practice, there can sometimes be a delay. This doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a specific “unspoken 24-hour rule”, but like many systems, Google Analytics 4 needs time to process new configurations. Since you’re sure the traffic_type property is registering on page_view events, this likely just means your Data Filter hasn’t fully processed yet. It’s recommended to wait a bit longer and then try applying the filter again. If the issue persists beyond 24 hours, it may be worth investigating further or reaching out to Google’s support for assistance.
