Hey, I’ve been trying to dig into some stuff online, but it’s a bit confusing. I was looking for detailed info on the hit limit for a GA4 property in a single month without any restrictions. I know with GA3 it was capped at around 10 million, but I’m not sure about GA4. What happens after you cross the 10M mark in a month; does Google still… Read more

Sure, the ‘value’ variable in GA4 ecommerce is a measure of interaction with the item, it’s not the same as the price. It’s used in various events such as when an item is added or removed from a shopping cart, added to a wishlist or when the item is viewed. Importantly, it’s not just about the transaction value. The ‘value’ variable serves to… Read more

Hey there, I just set up a GTM server side container with GA4 and it seems to be jiving well with the client space. I’ve been testing it out and the preview is definitely working. I’m trying to be a bit more low key with my data though and don’t really want to send the IP to analytics. I went ahead and excluded the ip_override parameters in the… Read more

Hey there! Hope you’re doing well. We started a neat setup last Wednesday where we send our GA4 data over to BigQuery once a day. It’s been going pretty well so far. However, I’ve noticed something odd. We only have the data starting from last Wednesday, when we put this new system into place. Our project actually launched back in September this… Read more

It sounds like you have concerns about the continued functionality of your code which reads data from Universal Analytics (UA) and its compatibility with Google Analytics 4 (GA4) given technology updates and changes, particularly beyond July 2023. You’ve taken measures to connect your UA to GA4, which started retrieving metrics from April 2022,… Read more

In BigQuery, you can use functions like UNNEST to handle arrays of STRUCTs and extract their individual elements. However, if you’d prefer to convert the STRUCTs data into JSON format, BigQuery also allows this by using the TO_JSON_STRING function. Then, you can easily parse and analyze your data using BigQuery’s built-in JSON functions.

Google Analytics 4 can sometimes be slow in showing data, due to internal processing it requires. But don’t worry, your information is still securely stored even if it’s not immediately visible. It might take up to 48 hours sometimes. If this delay is longer, it might be a technical issue, so you should reach out to Google’s technical support to help out.

Unfortunately, the ‘sessionControl’ function is not available in Google Analytics 4. In GA4, the session automatically times out after 30 minutes of no activity, or at midnight local time, and you cannot override or manipulate this. As for the ‘ga()’ command you tried, it belongs to the older Universal Analytics codebase and is not compatible with… Read more

Yes, you should be seeing the events tracked by the Measurement Protocol API in BigQuery. It can sometimes take a while for the data to appear in BigQuery due to some processing delays. If you still don’t see the data after waiting, you may want to check the configuration of your API calls and make sure they’re set up correctly.
