Google Analytics Web Connector - Compatibility for GA4
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.
Yes, Enabling the existing Google Analytics Connector to extend its connectivity to GA4 along with UA would be really helpful. Most customers have migrated from UA to GA4 and without the its compatibility in the existing connector its hard to work up. It would be of great help if we can access across GA4 from Qlik Sense SaaS.
The new Google Analytics 4 Connector will be included in the Qlik Sense client-managed May 2023 release. It is also targeted to be available in Qlik Sense SaaS around the same time.
REMINDER: the Google Analytics 4 Early Access Program has begun. If you have not opted in to the program yet - a pop-up will appear in your Qlik Sense tenant, prompting you to sign up. If you encounter any questions or issues while using the connector, please do not hesitate to contact me.
If you have tested the connector, please remember to complete the survey as this will help us reach GA in a timely manner.
As of right now the client managed Google Analytics 4 connector is targeted for a June 7th release.
