Hi Melanie,
Could you please elaborate the scenario. If possible, provide the url.

Short answer is Yes you can setup microsite.

There can be two possible scenarios:

1. It takes a while for data to populate, it may not have appeared yet in your GA4 interface.

2. Your GA4 tag is not firing .

Try using either Ga4 Event monitor or any other chrome extension to validate whethere your Tag for GA4 is actually firing.

Let me know what you see.

Hi Akansha,

Let me rephrase the requirement again for clarity.

You want to use regular expression filter that includes cumulative page views for regions as specified by strings in

en_au|ja_jp|zh_cn|en_in|en_apc

And you want it page wise . e.g.

• “/en_au/3213/page1”
• “/ja_jp/3123/page2”
• “/zh_cn/512/page3”
• “/en_in/4141/page4”
• “/en_apc/144/page5”

  And so on ..

If my above understanding is correct for the requirement , please try the following Regex :

(?:en_au|ja_jp|zh_cn|en_in|en_apc).*

.*: Matches any character (.) zero or more times (*). This part of the regex ensures that the rest of the page path is captured after the specified string.

@FraHead ,

You want to create one combined audience for users who visited either Landing Page 1 (LP1), Landing Page 2 (LP2), or Landing Page 3 (LP3) based on the event (visit_lp) and then filter the audience within Google Ads based on the URL where visit_lp was triggered.

However, Google Ads Audience segments have limited flexibility compared to the GA4 audience tool. Therefore, a combined audience created in GA4 cannot be sub-filtered in Google Ads based on specific URLs or event parameters.

Could you clarify the objective for creating a single combined audience? If the goal is to reuse this combined audience in other campaigns, you could consider the following approach:

1. Create One Combined Audience in GA4: Create an audience for all visitors to Landing Pages 1, 2, and 3.

2. Create Separate Audiences for Each Landing Page: In GA4, create three more audiences, one for each landing page (LP1, LP2, and LP3).

3. Use Combined Segments in Google Ads: When setting up your campaigns in Google Ads, you can create combined segments where you exclude the landing pages you’re not targeting. For example, for a campaign targeting LP1, you can use the combined audience but exclude the audiences for LP2 and LP3.

This approach is not very intuitive and might complicate the audience creation process. However, it is a workaround if you need to reuse a single combined audience across different campaigns and are required to create that one combined audience.

Mindy,
I will divide your question into two parts :

1. Viewing Returning / New users
2. Adding new metrics in reports.

1. Viewing Returning / New users

You can use the New / Established comparison to view the split on the same screen.

By using comparison, you can view all existing reports data split by new / returning.

(Type established in the search bar to quickly access the comparison )

2. Adding new metrics in reports.

To add new metrics to the report. You can “Create new cards”. ( This is different from “Adding a card).

There are two types of reports in GA4.

Overview Report: You can only Add Cards.

Detailed Report: You can create new Cards.

In your screenshot, you are looking at the Overview Report, You can add existing cards in that by clicking on the Edit icon on the right and then clicking on Add Cards on the panel on the right.

If you want to Create new cards with some metrics. You can customize any Detailed Report. On clicking the customize icon on right, you will see the Create New Card option

https://photos.app.goo.gl/qzkmzcBZQg2VQyr89

Clicking on Create new Card will give you screen for customizing card .

Here you can add Dimensions / metrics and filters to look at the metrics you are after.

Let me know if that solves your challenge

Hi Sofia,

The notification_open event is triggered when a user taps on the notification sent from Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) that results in the application opening. The event will be triggered regardless of whether the app is in the foreground or background.

Here are the detailed trigger conditions :

When the notification is tapped: The notification_open event triggers when a user taps on the notification. It does not require the app to load fully or reach a particular state within the app; the event is recorded as long as the user’s action leads to the app being brought to the foreground.

Misclick: That is not a proper click, therefore , event will not trigger.

The Wifi loading issue: Even if the app does not load properly due to issues such as no WiFi connection, the notification_open event should still be logged as it is based on the click action that attempts to open the app. If the user swipes back or dismisses the app before it loads, this may vary depending on the specific implementation of the event handling in the app code, but typically, the intent to open (which is the tap) is what triggers the event.

One thing to be cognizant of is that if there is no internet connection at the time of the event, GA4 may not receive the data until the connection is restored and the app is used again with an active connection.

In addition to the link you posted , you can read about FCM notification here :

The best way to do this would be to look at the User explorer report in GA4 Explore.

1. Open explore and use the User Explorer technique
2. Add metric Views by clickig on the metrics + icon on bttom left.

You will get Effective User ID and all the views.

Effective User ID will be either of

1. User-ID : If you have configured it on your website and User-ID exists for that user.
2. Client-ID: If you have not configured User-ID on your website or if the User-ID does not exist for the particular user.

@Jay
To connect to BigQuery using Python, you will need to start with an IDE e.g. Pycharm or Visual Studio Code.

Assuming no prior programming experience, you can begin by :

1. Download Pycharm or any other IDE of your choice.
2. Write a simple Hello World program to make sure that your configuration is correct.
3. Enable BigQuery API and create credentials
4. Copy and paste the code from the article you referred with your own credentials.

Let me know if you get stuck.

Path component is just a subset of the URI, therefore, theoretically the regex you applied would serve the same purpose.

To further investigate the issue, Please send a screenshot of both :
1. The urls you’re getting in the GA4 interface

2. The regex you have applied from subproperty.

Also , the actual url of the website will be helpful in understanding the issue.

Glad it helped!
