Google Analytics
What is Google Analytics?
Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is an analytics service that enables businesses to measure traffic and engagement across websites and applications. By structuring data around events rather than sessions, GA4 provides deep insights into user journeys and marketing attribution.
Connecting Google Analytics to Konnectify allows ops teams, marketing agencies, and developers to automate data operations. Instead of manually creating properties for new clients, configuring key events, or running ad-hoc reports, you can build automated pipelines that handle these tasks instantly in response to CRM updates, form submissions, or database changes.

API & Authentication
Secure OAuth 2.0 Authorization
Google Analytics connects to Konnectify using the secure OAuth 2.0 protocol. This ensures that Konnectify can perform administrative actions and run reports on your behalf without ever seeing or storing your Google account password. You have full control over permissions and can revoke access at any time through your Google Account security settings.
To authorize the connection, you must provide your own Client ID and Client Secret from a Google Cloud Project with the Google Analytics Admin API and Google Analytics Data API enabled. This ensures your integration runs isolated on your own developer credentials, respecting your organization's specific security policies.
Your Google Cloud OAuth consent screen must authorize the following scopes to allow Konnectify to function correctly:
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly (to find properties, metrics, and run reports)
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.edit (to create and modify properties, key events, and custom metrics)
For comprehensive details on rate limits, dimensions, and administrative quotas, consult the official Google Analytics Developer Documentation.
How to Connect Google Analytics to Konnectify
- A Google Cloud Console project with the Google Analytics Admin API and Google Analytics Data API enabled.
- An OAuth Client ID and Client Secret configured in your Google Cloud Credentials tab.
- Administrator or Editor access to the Google Analytics 4 property you wish to manage.
Add Google Analytics to a Workflow
Log into your Konnectify dashboard, navigate to the Workflow Builder, and add Google Analytics as an Action step in your active workflow sequence.
Authorize via OAuth 2.0 Credentials
When prompted, enter your Google Cloud Client ID and Client Secret. Click Authorize to open the secure Google login screen.
Select the Google account associated with your GA4 properties, review the requested read/write permissions, and confirm the authorization.
Configure the Action Fields
Choose the specific Google Analytics action you wish to execute (e.g., Run Report or Create Conversion Event) and map the required parameters using dynamic data from previous steps.
When setting up reports or conversion tracking, ensure the GA4 Property IDs are formatted as numbers (e.g., 123456789) rather than your account's tracking stream IDs.
Test the Integration Step
Click Test Step to send a real-world test payload to your GA4 property. Verify that the property, key event, or report is handled correctly in Google Analytics without errors.
Activate the Workflow
Once testing completes successfully, toggle your workflow to Active. Your Google Analytics automation will now run continuously in the background.
