💡 Important Note:

It's essential to maintain consistency between the measurement ID used in your Google Analytics Data Streams settings and the value assigned to the variable named GA4 Tracking ID in Google Tag Manager.

When setting up your integration, please double-check that the measurement ID obtained from your Google Analytics account matches the exact value assigned to the "GA4 Tracking ID" variable in Google Tag Manager.

This alignment ensures that the data streams seamlessly and accurately, enhancing the reliability of your analytics tracking.

That's how easy it is to integrate Google Analytics and Popupsmart and track the analytics.

How to Check Your Data on Google Analytics in a Long-Term Period

Since leads are crucial and they are open to change anytime with a powerful campaign you can create with Popupsmart, you need to track them carefully.

To check your data on Google Analytics is super easy as well.

All you need to do is follow the steps above:

1. You need to choose “Reports” on the left sidebar of Google Analytics.

This way, you are able to track your analytics later in the time period.

You can control the details and results of your campaign with charts and boards.

Event Parameters to Track Popup Campaign Performance

If you want to see how well your popups are performing, you can check out event parameters in Google Analytics which are basically actions visitors are taking on your popup.

Follow these simple steps to check out your event parameters:

Important: Google Analytics code should be already installed on your website for this integration to work.

Step 1: Once you are logged into Google Analytics, navigate to the "Reports" section.
Step 2: On the "Events" screen, you can see the Event Names related to your popups. Click on the campaign name of your popup to see the visitor's actions.
Step 3: You can see the performance by selecting the event parameter you want to check from the Parameter Name drop-down box in the EVENTS IN LAST 30 MINUTES box.

Note: If you want to see the results of the parameters in the long term rather than the last 30 minutes, we recommend creating a custom dimension in Google Analytics 4.

1. Display Events (popupsmart_display): These events include campaign_id and campaign_name parameters, providing deeper insights into popup visibility and campaign impact.

2. Close Events (popupsmart_close): With parameters campaign_id and campaign_name, we've addressed concerns about closing events, and capturing actions like clicking the close button, using the escape key, or closing the popup by clicking outside it.

3. Interaction Events (popupsmart_interaction): These events capture a range of user actions with parameters like:

  • go_to_url
  • show_page
  • submit_form
  • play_game
  • go_to_product
  • add_to_cart
  • call_phone
  • close_button_action (when the "count as interaction" switch is active within the button element).
