Google Analytics - Universal vs G4

Hi guys,

I doubt about google analytics… At this year, google will make changes to migrate Universal to G4. The exists extensions will work fine with it? What kind of changes I need to do to see the same information across this 2 platforms? Some tips?

Hi @denisfi -

Do you have any links to what Google plans to change on their side? I’m not that familiar with Google Analytics myself, but if you have a summary of planned changes I can provide those to our development team.

Hi Scott,

Sure! FYI : Universal Analytics will be going away - Analytics Help

About the actual nodes, they will be updated as the API link:

By the way, the user permition have some differences too… it´s not the same for the universal stage.

So, if you can help me and others partners, will be pretty nice!

Thanks,

Denis

You’re welcome!

It’s very important for me and some friends that use knime for email marketing and data analytics with this information.

And, if not to abuse, other components like whatsapp, instagram and skype are well used for notifications to users and groups.

Do you have a solution for these social networks and communicators?

Thanks,

Denis

@denisfi I’m not aware of nodes to send notifications for those apps. There is a community extension for Slack integration (thanks @swebb! ) and our own nodes in the KNIME Twitter Connectors, but I believe those are the only nodes like that, at least for now.

Hi Scott, how are you? I hope you are fine!

I’d like to know if you have some news about this topic (google analytics 4 and authentication)

Thanks,

Denis

Hi @denisfi !

I checked and can report that this is actively being worked on, but I don’t have an ETA for you yet. Hopefully soon!

Great! thanks for reply!

Waiting with hope!

Tks,

Denis

@ScottF - Any updates on this one?

Hi @ajc -

The Google Analytics G4 update to our nodes is scheduled to happen in the summer release. You might even be able to try it out now in the nightly build - although I haven’t confirmed that myself yet.

Hi @ScottF ,

Thanks for the update! 1st July is the end date for google to use the old version (universal), so just the new one can be used after that… neither a backup will be accessed after that…

On July 1, 2023, this property will stop processing data. As of March 2023, to continue site measurement, please migrate your property’s original settings to one from Google Analytics 4 (GA4), or it will be done for you on a current GA4 property, reusing current site tags .

Thanks again,

Denis

Thanks for the update!

Hi @ScottF ,

Do you have some news about it?

I put myself for tests if you need… lol

Thanks,

Denis

Hi @denisfi -

This feature is still in active development for the summer release. You could try the nightly build if you are feeling brave and want to so some active testing :slight_smile: , but I will confess I don’t know how ready those particular nodes are.

Hi @ScottF , how are you?

1st July is coming… do you have some news about the google analytics 4 nodes?

Tks again,

Denis

Nothing new to report, the updated GA4 nodes are planned to be included in the next 5.1 release, which is coming very soon. Did you ever have a chance to try them out in the nightly build?

Hi @ScottF ,

no… version 5 have a zip pack to test? I wouldn’t like to make a consolidation install before the official release.

Tks,

Denis

There is a zip version for Windows on the nightly downloads page - not sure what OS you are using.

Windows 11 - x64 system

But the download page don’t offers version 5… Where can I get it?

WOW, you said it before but couldn’t see the link… sorry…its here:
