Google Analytics Web Connector - Compatibility for GA4

Stas_vd_Braber — Mon, 04 Jul 2022 14:31:37 GMT

The Google Analytics Web Connector is currently only compatible for the Google Universal Analytics (UA). GA4 is due to replace the current version of Google Analytics (Universal Analytics or UA) in June 2023. More and more customers are now migrating to GA4. The GA4 comes with a new API (Google Analytics Data API). It would be great if the web connector becomes compatible for this new API, or that a new web connector is created.

This has come to my attention as well. A few of my clients are using the Google Webconnectors. (universal analytics). Would be great if the webconnector is compatible with the new API! This way, my clients can keep using the webconnectors and extract fresh data.

Me too.

Do you have a solution to connect Qlik Sense and GA4 using rest?

Thanks

@menta No not yet. Only a temporary solution which uses the authorization tokens from the Google OAuth Playground. The tokens retrieved from the playground are valid for only 24 hours. For a permanant solution you need to go through the verification process with your Google Cloud project. Creating a JWT signature in Qlik Sense scripting is not possible, so this way of authentication is also not an option.

Duplicate of Connector for Google Analytics V4 - Qlik Community - 1928391 - best to focus comments/votes there probably.

Please add this new connector to connect GA 4 as most of the clients are switching to GA4 instead of UA

Re: Google Analytics Web Connector - Compatibility for GA4 - Status changed to: Open - On Roadmap

Hi,

An updated Google Analytics connector to support GA4 is on the Qlik connectors roadmap. It is targeted to be available in Qlik Sense SaaS as well as client-managed in Q1/Q2 2023. I am aware this might be close to the sunset of Universal Analytics by Google, and we are looking at the possibility improving the timeline, but we cannot commit to anything more specific at this point.

Hi,

Quick update on this discussion - development of a new Google Analytics 4 connector is currently in progress and the target is to have a first iteration/release ready in Q2 (but no commitment).

It would be helpful to understand any real use cases from customers looking for Google Analytics 4 support. Please let us know if you could provide any additional information related to your use case(s) using Google Analytics connector.

Thank you!

we need a commitment from Qlik for a Q2 release.

Google's UA is unsupported (data processing will stop) as of 7/1/2023.

My clients have Qlik dashboards that integrate data from multiple sources -- a one-stop shop for all analysis/reporting needs. Web analytics (GA) is a component of this.

@Tavo - thank you for your response. Just a heads up the actual end date depends on whether you have a free or paid '360' GA account:

July 1, 2023, standard Universal Analytics properties will stop processing new hits
360 Universal Analytics properties will receive a one-time processing extension ending on July 1, 2024

However, we are still targeting to release the Google Analytics 4 connector early Q2. It would be helpful to understand any real use cases from customers looking for Google Analytics 4 support. For example, if you could provide us with dimensions/metrics you are using in the current Google Analytics connector as well as specific reports that you need in the new connector.

For anyone reading this thread - please feel free to direct message me with any specific requests as well.

Thank you!

We would like to make use of the Qlik connector for Google Analytics 4. Main goal is to link GA data with other data from internal systems.

Our customers consume the number of website users and the number of pageviews from Google Analytics via Qlik Sense. We are waiting for the GA4 connector to switch to GA4. Otherwise we will have serious problems with our customers.

Such a connector is standard in other BI solutions like Power BI.

Totally MUST have for us. We need GA4 ASAP!

Hi all,

Thank you for your comments. Our R&D team is currently working on creating a new connector to support Google Analytics v4 API in Qlik Sense. We are setting up an Early Access Program to get this connector out to customers to test and provide feedback to consider moving forward. Please let us know if you would be interested in participating in the EAP and we can provide you with more details.

Thank you!
