Follow these steps to give SmartBi access to your Google Universal Analytics account.
If you don't have an account, contact us.
These instructions explain how to connect your Google Analytics Universal account (Google Analytics 3) to SmartBi.
We work in partnership with Fivetran to ensure that this source will be securely connected. Data transfer is always end-to-end encrypted and your credentials will remain invisible throughout the process.
If it is the first time that you connect a data source, the following screen appears:
Select "I get it! Let's get started"
1 - After choosing a dashboard compatible with Google Analytics, choose "I have access, let's go" if you are an account administrator. If not, contact the account administrator and then continue the source connection process.
2 - In the next screen, select "Authorize with Google"
3- Choose the Google account that is associated with the account you want to see in your dashboard.
4 - Click "Authorize"
Important note: If you have access to more than one account and more than one profile, it is very important to choose only one account and only one profile.
If you choose more than one, the data for each account and profile selected will be transferred to the dashboard, which will make it impossible to determine which data corresponds to which account or profile and will result in the creation of duplicates. This would therefore render the dashboard useless.
If you want to follow more than one profile, choose "Add account" from the top right drop-down menu in your account view.
5 - Select 1 account and 1 profile.
6 - Once the account and profile have been selected, click on "SAVE & TEST" at the bottom of the page
7 - Fivetran will then test the connection to your account. The message "All connection tests passed!" will confirm that the connection has worked!
8 - Finally, a final screen will confirm that your source is pending and that your source and dashboard will be ready within 48 hours. You will then receive an email when your source and dashboard are ready!
