Currently, as of 2022, Google Analytics 4 (GA4) does not have the same kind of filter functionality that Universal Analytics (UA) has, such as search-and-replace filters to modify data. You can’t directly create a filter in GA4 to append a certain string before the page view paths. However, you can use GA4’s advanced event modification… Read more

We’re using Google Analytics 4 and Facebook Pixel to track visitors’ purchases on our site, but I’m struggling to figure out how to confirm that these metrics are properly sent before redirecting a visitor. How can I know if this info was properly sent out?

Hey, we’ve got GA4 set up through GTM and need to train our team. But, we don’t want them messing with the main property. We figured making an exact copy could be a solution.

It’s highly likely that the ISP is based in Germany, even if your users… Read more

Regrettably, audience data including user_id or user_pseudo_id is not directly available in GA4 reports or via API at this time. GA4 doesn’t have the capability to export audience memberships by user_pseudo_id to BigQuery. This differs from Universal Analytics, where you could send custom dimensions to capture audience data. However, you may be a… Read more

Unfortunately, at this point in time, Google doesn’t provide a straightforward solution to import historic data from Universal Analytics to GA4. The “Import from Universal Analytics” button is actually for bringing in goal configuration and not historical data. Currently, even if you’ve linked GA4 with Universal Analytics, old data from Universal… Read more

Hey there,

Rest assured you’re not alone in your dilemma. Although there doesn’t seem to be a specific .Net NuGet package for Google Analytics 4 out there, you can still manage to work with it from a different angle.

It’s noteworthy to delineate that a .Net package will likely be helpful only if you’re after server-side tracking via the… Read more
