Google Analytics

How to connect Google Analytics to your IdeaScale Community

Path:  Community Settings >> Integration >> App Directory >> Google Analytics

For guidance on upgrading from UA to GA4, kindly refer to Google Analytics Migrations from UA to GA4

Integrating your community with Google Analytics could not be easier.  Google Analytics will give you a new layer of data including great information about demographics, time spent on site, browser info, etc.

Some of the activities you will be able to track using Google Analytics are:

  1. Track page views by logged in user 

  2. Track where in the world your logged in users are viewing the community

  3. What type of device they are on

  4. User type

  5. Number of Idea's submitted by a user

Toggle to the Google Analytics area in your IdeaScale community and enter your tracking code provided by google analytics (screenshot of both below)
