Understanding What Google Analytics UA is?
Google Analytics is a web analytics software offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Universal Analytics (UA) refers to the previous version of Analytics for measuring website traffic and was the only version used up until 14 October 2020, when Google Analytics 4 was released.
Google Analytics UA provides us with information on how visitors interact with a website by giving us data on
Audience, Acquisition, and Behavior. Data from all of these report types can be visualized in dashboards and reports on Oviond.
Connecting Google Analytics UA On Oviond
Google Analytics UA connects to Oviond using your Google account login details (email address and password). This authentication only needs to be done once per Google account. Google Analytics UA has a completely different API to Google Analytics 4, therefore, they exist as separate integrations on Oviond and authentication will need to be done for each.
We have a comprehensive help center article that will answer all questions around the authentication, permissions, and limitations for Google Analytics UA.
