# Google Analytics 4 ## Pipeline Concepts Before setting up the pipeline, learn about pipeline concepts [here](/product/ingesting-your-data/pipelines.md) ## Step by Step Guide ### STEP-1: Configure Connection To learn about Connection, refer [here](/product/ingesting-your-data/pipelines.md) * Log into the Sprinkle application * Navigate to Ingest -> Connections Tab -> Setup Sources -> * Select Google Analytics 4 * Provide all the mandatory details * *Name*: Name to identify this connection * Connect to Google * *Advanced Settings*: Refer [here](#advanced-connection-settings) * After pressing Connect to Google, you will see authorize screen to allow permissions required for sprinkle to read data. Press Allow * Test Connection * Create ### STEP-2: Configure Pipeline To learn about Pipelines, refer [here](/product/ingesting-your-data/pipelines.md) * Navigate to Ingest -> Pipelines Tab -> Setup Sources -> * Select Google Analytics 4 * Provide the name -> Create * **Choose from saved connections Tab**: * From the drop-down, select the name of connection created in STEP-2 * Next: Select Datasets ### STEP-3: Create Dataset **Datasets Tab**: To learn about Dataset, refer [here](/product/ingesting-your-data/pipelines.md). Add Dataset for each report/dataset that you want to integrate, providing the following details * *Account Id* (Required): GA Account * *Properties/Apps* (Required): Select Property/Apps available in this account * Metrics (Required): Select up to 10 metrics * Dimensions (Optional): Select up to 9 dimensions to aggregate your metrics on * Dimensions Filter: Dimension filters allow you to ask for only specific dimension values in the report. To learn more, see [Fundamentals of Dimension Filters](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1/basics#http_7) for examples. Metrics cannot be used in this filter. Provide the object here like:-\ "dimensionFilter": { "filter": { "fieldName": "eventName", "stringFilter": { "value": "first\_open" } } } * Metrics Filter: The filter clause of metrics. Applied after aggregating the report's rows, similar to SQL having-clause. To learn more, see [here](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1/rest/v1beta/properties/runReport#request-body). Dimensions cannot be used in this filter. Provide the object here like:-\ "metricFilter": { "filter": { "fieldName": "eventCount", "numericFilter": { "value": { "doubleValue": 2 } } } } * Ingestion Mode (Required) * *Snapshot: Every run will pull data from the start date* * *Incremental: Every run will pull data from the last successful run onwards* * *Start Date* (Required): Pull the data from this date: Format is YYYY-MM-DD * *Destination Schema* (Required): Data warehouse schema where the table will be ingested into * *Destination Table name* (Required): It is the table name to be created on the warehouse. If not given, sprinkle will create like ds\_\\_\ * *Destination Create Table Clause*: Provide additional clauses to warehouse-create table queries such as clustering, partitioning, and more, useful for optimizing DML statements. [Learn more](/product/ingesting-your-data/pipelines/databases/features/destination-create-table-clause.md) on how to use this field. * Create ### STEP-4: Run and schedule Ingestion In the **Run & Schedule** tab**:** * Trigger the Job, using Run Now button * To schedule, enable Auto-Run. Change the frequency if required ### Advanced Connection Settings * **API Read Timeout (In seconds) :** Maximum time of inactivity between two data packets when waiting for the server's response. The default value is 30 seconds. * **API Connection Timeout (In seconds) :** Time period within which a connection between a client and a server must be established. * **Retry Limit :** Number of retries allowed when an API call fails. For example if an API call fails and retry limit is 5 then it will check 5 times for that API call and if it succeeded then it will stop checking**.** * **Retry Sleep Time (In milliseconds) :** Given time, after which retry should happen in case an API call fails. * **Incremental Batch Size (In days) :** No. of days in one batch for which data is being downloaded during incremental ingestion. * **Version :** It gives information about the version of Google Analytics 4 API being used. * **Max Records :** Field sets the max limit on the number of records that can be downloaded during each API call. ### Dataset Fields User can pick following fields in datasets * active1DayUsers * active28DayUsers * active7DayUsers * activeUsers * addToCarts * adUnitExposure * averagePurchaseRevenue * averagePurchaseRevenuePerPayingUser * averagePurchaseRevenuePerUser * averageRevenuePerUser * averageSessionDuration * bounceRate * cartToViewRate * checkouts * cohortActiveUsers * cohortTotalUsers * conversions * crashAffectedUsers * crashFreeUsersRate * dauPerMau * dauPerWau * ecommercePurchases * engagedSessions * engagementRate * eventCount * eventCountPerUsereventsPerSession * eventValue * firstTimePurchaserConversionRate * firstTimePurchasers * firstTimePurchasersPerNewUser * itemListClickEvents * itemListClickThroughRate * itemListViewEvents * itemPromotionClickThroughRate * itemRevenue * itemsPurchased * itemViewEvents * newUsers * organicGoogleSearchAveragePosition * organicGoogleSearchClicks * organicGoogleSearchClickThroughRate * organicGoogleSearchImpressions * promotionClicks * promotionViews * publisherAdClicks * publisherAdImpressions * purchaserConversionRate * purchaseRevenue * purchaseToViewRate * screenPageViews * screenPageViewsPerSession * sessionConversionRate * sessions * sessionsPerUser * shippingAmount * taxAmount * totalAdRevenue * totalPurchasers * totalRevenue * totalUsers * transactions * transactionsPerPurchaser * userConversionRate * userEngagementDuration * wauPerMau * conversions:purchase * sessionConversionRate:purchase * userConversionRate:purchase --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
