Unfortunately, due to security and privacy considerations, Google does not provide a direct way to fetch or suggest a user’s Google Analytics property ID from any site other than the Google Analytics dashboard itself. This helps to prevent unauthorized access to a user’s Google Analytics details. Therefore, your users will need to retrieve the… Read more

Alright, so here’s what we can do, mate:

1. First, we need to get these categories into your GTM. You’ve got two options for this: either parse every article page to grab the categories or ask the front-end to push them to the dataLayer on pageviews. The latter would probably be more robust.

2. Now, once you’ve got the list pulling into GTM, you… Read more

Your issue may be with the timing of when your data is put into the dataLayer and when the tags are firing. The tags may be firing before the necessary data is available. The dataLayer works in a stack-like format where information is only available from the point it was added onwards. So, you may need to adjust when the purchasing data is pushed… Read more

Sure, I’d be happy to help. The issue you’re experiencing sounds like it could be related to the authentication process. When you use API clients like the Google Analytics Data API Python client, they require specific credentials to authenticate your request. In your case, it seems like the root of the issue might be that your developer account… Read more

Hey, I noticed something odd with the Google Analytics 4 Measurement Protocol reference. It doesn’t seem to have details on parameters like GeographicalOverride found in the Universal Analytics Measurement Protocol reference.

It looks like these parameters are auto-filled as mentioned in [GA4] Analytics dimensions and metrics. But what if we… Read more

Hey, have you experienced this peculiar situation like I did? I was attempting to access a simple function in GA4 admin, and all of sudden I received this exception listing out all the issues (reason, status, message). Let me try to recreate what I did from the start:

First, I had a URL to do the redirect like this:

Do you see anything unusual…

Your SQL query isn’t inherently flawed, but there seems to be a mismatch between your actual data distribution and how the query processes the data. One possible reason for sky-high values from Day 1 onward might be multiple records per user in the ‘table’ you are using for the analysis. Ensure that the ‘first_open’ event is unique per user -… Read more

After the switch to GA4, if you’ve not updated your code and keep using the old window.ga method for tracking, it won’t throw Javascript errors in the browser. The function would still technically be valid, but the custom events you’re trying to track wouldn’t be sent to your GA account, as the UA property would no longer be operational. To… Read more

I’m trying to whip up a report that shows 20 custom triggers for events. I’m using a filter called Matches Regex, but it seems there’s a letter limit, and it’s only allowing 9 of my events through.

I could really use a hand with this – does anyone know how I can make this custom report? Thanks in advance.

By the way, I’ve already tried making a…
