    Good Tutorials. It would have been helpful to set some simple reports as standard that mirror the old Universal Analytics for non-techincal people - before switching the old anyalytics off completely. The tutorials are very good and I am sure the new analytics is very powerful and far more versatile but busy small business owners who are not technical may find use of this difficult.

    You really need to get on and fix basic UX and simple features missing from GA4 as soon as possible, some reports you can't even read the data when there's filters on and generally it's so poor compared to the experience on UA.

    In this tutorial, Matt Landers demonstrates how to implement custom events in Google Analytics 4 (GA4) using Google Tag Manager (GTM). The goal is to track newsletter signups on a demo website by firing a custom event whenever a user signs up. Additionally, the tutorial captures which form was used for the signup by enabling the "Form ID" variable in GTM and sending it as a parameter to GA4. The tutorial covers creating a new tag and trigger in GTM, testing the tag with the preview tool, and verifying that the custom event and parameters appear in GA4’s real-time reporting. Finally, it notes that custom dimensions and metrics need to be set up separately for more detailed reporting.
    STEPS: Variables > Tags > Trigger

    ALL LIES. what is shown in this video does NOT produce "custom events" in GA4 Realtime.
    He did not show the steps needed in GA4->Admin.
    lol, watch this: tell Google to show us this SIMPLE thing:
    make a custom button, with a custom parameter that shows up in GA4 events WITH a PARAM
    In GTM try to create a custom event NAMED "mycustom_click" and add a parameter called "mycustom_param", then follow his instructions. It will NEVER show up. lol. We have to dig deep into GA4 Admin settings and tie your event into the "click" event using GA4->Admin->NEW event (but even then, the custom parameters never show up). Ergo: LIES. all lies. maybe true 5mo ago... not true now.
    For example, his video here will NEVER work.
    Unless... someone go's into GA4->Admin->Events->NewEvent and adds a "form_submit" action (which is mentioned nowhere in this video or online mind you) and then tie that action in as shown in the video... it will never show up. Not in realtime, not in the debugger
    It will show up in TAG ASSISTANT, but if you switch to the GA4 TAB in TAG ASSISTANT youll see... "nothing"
    Really getting sick of this frustrating nonsense.
    Its as if the people who built GA4 do not know what a website is.
    I am reminded of the people who make cat litter boxes - who apparently think all cats are the size of squirrels.
    Same deal here.

    So I didnt actually see you publish your new event. After you previewed the event in tag manager, did you just go back and publish? Did you need to do any other configuration in Google Analytics (Admin-> Events -> Create Event). The next step went straight to seeing it in the Realtime report

    This is nice, but where can I learn how to trigger a custom event via JavaScript only? As a developer, I would rather tell the GTM code what to do, rather than rely on it to correctly figure out what data needs to be sent and when. Surely there has to be a way to communicate with the GTM code that's running on the page through some API?

    Hi, how to prevent events from being counted repeatedly? For example, a viewer clicks the button repeatedly?

    • @davidpax23
      @davidpax23 Год назад

      There are a few ways to prevent events from being counted repeatedly in Google Analytics. One way is to use the Max Unique Events setting. This setting allows you to specify the maximum number of times an event can be counted for a single user within a specified time period. For example, you could set the Max Unique Events to 10, which would mean that an event could only be counted 10 times for a single user within a 30-minute period.
      Another way to prevent events from being counted repeatedly is to use the Time Between Events setting. This setting allows you to specify the minimum amount of time that must pass between two instances of the same event. For example, you could set the Time Between Events to 1 minute, which would mean that an event could only be counted once per minute.
      Finally, you can also prevent events from being counted repeatedly by using the Event Sampling setting. This setting allows you to specify the percentage of events that will be tracked. For example, if you set the Event Sampling to 50%, then only 50% of the events will be tracked.
