Google Analytics Setup Guide

This guide will help you connect your Google Analytics 4 (GA4) data to Analytra. Once connected, your GA4 data will be automatically synced to your Analytra account.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you'll need:

• A Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Account
• Google account with "Viewer" or higher access to the GA4 property
• The property ID of your GA4 property

Finding Your GA4 Property ID

1. Sign in to your Google Analytics account
2. Go to Admin (gear icon in the bottom left)
3. In the Property column, select the property you want to connect
4. Under Property Settings, you'll find your Property ID (format 9-digit: XXXXXXXXX)

Connecting Google Analytics to Analytra

1. In Analytra, go to "Connect Data" in the left sidebar
2. Select "Google Analytics" from the list of available sources
3. Click "Authenticate with Google Analytics"
4. You'll be redirected to Google's OAuth consent screen
5. Select the Google account that has access to your GA4 property
6. Grant the requested permissions
7. After authentication, enter your Property ID and connect

What Data Gets Synced

Once connected, Analytra will sync the following data from your GA4 property:

• Daily Active Users
• Sessions
• Page Views
• Events
• User Properties
• Conversion Events
• E-commerce Data (if configured)
• Campaign Data
• Traffic Source Data

The initial sync may take a few hours depending on the amount of historical data.

Data Freshness and Sync Schedule

• Data is synced daily by default
• GA4 data typically has a 24-48 hour delay
• Historical data is imported for the last 12 months by default

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. OAuth Connection Failed
   • Ensure you're using the correct Google account
   • Verify you have at least "Viewer" access to the GA4 property
   • Try clearing your browser cache and cookies
2. No Data Available
   • Check if your GA4 property is collecting data
   • Verify the property ID is correct
   • Ensure the property has data within the sync timeframe
3. Missing Data
   • Confirm the events are being tracked in GA4
   • Check if custom dimensions/metrics are properly configured
   • Allow 24-48 hours for data to appear in reports

Security and Privacy

• Your Google Analytics credentials are encrypted and stored securely
• OAuth connection is handled directly through Google's authentication servers
• We never see or store your Google password
• Data is processed in compliance with Google Analytics Terms of Service

Best Practices

1. Data Collection
   • Ensure your GA4 implementation is correct
   • Verify important events are being tracked
   • Use consistent naming conventions for events
