Google Analytics 4 Measurement Protocol doesn’t automatically extract data fields like Device Category, Operating System, or Platform for you. If you want to track these dimensions, you’ll need to manually set them as custom dimensions and include these custom parameters in each HTTP request. For the ‘ua’ query param, GA4 Measurement Protocol does… Read more

The problem here is that Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is dropping any rows where dimensions, including custom ones, are null. The posted code is an illustration of this problem. The programmer tried to solve it by flagging GA4 to keep rows even when they’re empty (keep_empty_rows = True) and ignore fields it doesn’t recognize (ignore_unknown_fields = True).

There really isn’t any particular advantage to using the “Live” GTM snippet. When you access this, you would get the environment parameters filled in just like for any other environment.

Meanwhile, if you select “Install GTM”, the environment-specific parameters are omitted. This is because when these parameters aren’t specified, GTM will… Read more

Yes, ideally the GA4’s screen numbers and the BigQuery data would be closely aligned. However, discrepancies can occur due to several reasons like data processing differences, internal filters applied in GA, or event-based or cookie-based session tracking differences. Introducing new events to your site could also potentially affect session… Read more

Considering your situation, there may be a few possible issues that you might want to check. You should firstly ensure to have Google Analytics 4 properly configured in your Firebase project. You also need to link your Firebase project to your Google Analytics 4 property. Another crucial thing is you must have the latest version of the… Read more

The issue you’re encountering seems to originate from the event scope of your dimension. When mapping certain types of data in GA4, specifically involving metrics and dimensions, it’s crucial to understand their scopes. User (or broader) scoped variables can encompass the data from event scoped ones but not vice versa. Therefore, when you pull in… Read more

“Why can’t I get the full page path to show up in the “Pages and screens” report on Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for my Vue.js single page application? Even though I have set up the code to properly track the page_view event with the correct page_location and page_path, it only shows the root (“/”) instead of the full URL including the fragment (like… Read more

Sure thing, you can just specify the name of the tracker you want to send the event to. When you create the tracker, assign it a name. Then, when sending the event ‘timeToLoad’, simply add the tracker name before sending the event like this: ga('trackerName.send', 'event', 'timeToLoad'). This tells GA to send the event to ‘G-0000001’…

You can send a specific event to one particular tracker by referencing the tracker name directly when you send the event. For your case, you can first give your trackers names when you create them. For example, ‘tracker1’ to the ‘G-0000001’ and ‘tracker2’ to the ‘G-0000002’. Then, in the command to send the event ‘timeToLoad’, reference it to… Read more

Firstly, using gtag.js that you’ve implemented is a good way to track load times as Google recommends it and most developers find it efficient and easy to use. You don’t necessarily need to look for alternative methods, unless you’re experiencing problems or limitations.

Secondly, GA4 does not provide an out-of-the-box feature to get averaged… Read more

So, I tweaked my Landing Page Report to show not only the Page Title but also the Link URL. I used the edit icon, then customized the dimension and entered the link URL. However, when I finalized and saved my report, all I saw was the complete or aggregated data. Can you explain why this happened? Do you think waiting a day or two for the report… Read more

It seems like you’re right, their docs don’t list currency as a dimension in GA4’s API. Weird, because it’s available in the UI. Maybe you’ll have to assume the currency from elsewhere like your product data? As for APIs, Google didn’t mention them specifically, but since they’re ending UA, I’d assume the APIs will stop working too. You’ll likely… Read more

I’m encountering a GRPC error while attempting to utilize the GA4 analytics API following the API quickstart guide. The specific error message is: Grpc.Core.RpcException: ‘Status(StatusCode=”Unavailable”, Detail=”failed to connect to all addresses”, DebugException=”Grpc.Core.Internal.CoreErrorDetailException:…
