So, it looks like the piece you might be missing is how to use the <code>ReactGA.gtag</code> function to send user properties. This can be done directly whenever you want to track some custom analytics data, or you can save yourself some time and effort by setting it up in a utility function.</p>
<p>To put it simply, the <code>gtag</code> function takes a string and an&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-1872"><a href="http://googleanalytics4.co/forums/discussion/how-can-i-send-user-properties-in-react-ga4-for-google-analytics/#post-7522" rel="nofollow"> Read more</a></span></p>

<p>So, couple months ago we set up this attribution report, right? But here&#8217;s the thing, all we&#8217;re seeing is &#8220;direct&#8221; as the only channel. At first we got &#8220;direct&#8221; and &#8220;unassigned&#8221; popping up, and we thought, &#8220;Cool, it just needs some time to figure our data out,&#8221; but nope. Two months later and it&#8217;s still showing just direct. It&#8217;s like&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-1423"><a href="http://googleanalytics4.co/forums/discussion/troubleshooting-google-analytics-attribution-reporting-issues/" rel="nofollow"> Read more</a></span></p>

Every day, Google Analytics exports raw data to BigQuery and creates a new table, called a &#8220;shard.&#8221; These shards are part of the main &#8216;events_&#8217; table, but they appear as separate tables when you view them in BigQuery.

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) assigns each browsing session a unique &#8216;session ID&#8217; and each user/visitor a &#8216;pseudo ID&#8217;. This helps it track how users are interacting with your website. Normally, each session ID should be associated with only one user (or pseudo ID), but you have discovered that some&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-1098"><a href="http://googleanalytics4.co/forums/discussion/understanding-the-occurrence-of-multiple-user-pseudo-ids-with-ga4-session-ids/#post-6378" rel="nofollow"> Read more</a></span></p>

But they&#8217;re each set up on their own subdomains based on region (like us.store.com, uk.store.com, and so on).

Then, Amazon&#8217;s SDKs (like Boto3 for Python) can be used to upload these files to your S3 bucket.</p>
