Google Analytics 4

The Google Global Site Tag Integration push events data to Google Analytics, and to Google Ads if you have enabled Gtag in your Google Ads account. Follow this guide to connect your Google Ads account with Google Analytics: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033961?hl=en

The GTAG integration works with GA4 (Google Analytics 4) out of the box, and with UA as long as the corresponding events are defined in your Universal Analytics setup. The integration activates the site tag client side, which means it sends the events to google analytics directly from the browser. Much like setting up a Google Analytics tracker yourself, but with predefined events mainly for e-commerce.

Add this destination

  1. Log into your engage account

  2. Go to Data Platform > Integrations and select the Google Analytics (GA4 & UA)

  3. Set the GTAG ID and select the events to be included

    1. GTAG ID (measurement ID) for Google Analytics 4 (G-XXXXXXXXXX)

    2. GTAG ID (tracking ID) for Universal Analytics (UA-XXXXXXX-X)

  4. Track Google Ads conversions by adding a Conversion ID and Conversion Label.

    1. Make sure to include AW- in the Conversation ID

Note, if you would like to send data in parallel to GA4 and UA, the field "UA ID" should be used for the "Tracking ID" (UA) and GTAG for "measurement ID" (GA4). Otherwise only "GTAG ID" should be populated independent of running with GA4 or UA.
