Overview

Google Analytics code is a tracking script provided by Google that allows you to collect and analyze user interaction data from your website or application. When implemented in SnapApp, this code helps monitor how users interact with your content and sends this data securely to Google Analytics servers for processing.

The processed data is presented as reports and dashboards that give insights into:

• How many users visit your application
• Which pages they view most often
• How long they stay on the site
• How they interact with different features

These insights help organizations improve user experience, optimize content, and make informed, data-driven decisions.

Understanding the Google Analytics Measurement ID

The Measurement ID is a unique identifier generated by Google Analytics. It follows this format: G-XXXXXXX

Why the Measurement ID is Important

• It tells Google Analytics where the data belongs
• It ensures data is collected for the correct website or application
• Without this ID, Google Analytics cannot track or store any interaction data

In SnapApp, the Measurement ID is required to enable analytics tracking.

Prerequisites

Before configuring Google Analytics in SnapApp, make sure:

• You have a Google Analytics account set up
• You have created a GA4 property for your website or application
• You follow the steps provided in Google Analytics
• You have copied the correct Measurement ID (G-****) from Google Analytics

Step-by-Step: Implementing Google Analytics in SnapApp

Step 1: Access Global Settings

What to do:

1. Log in to SnapApp.
2. Open the application where you want to enable Google Analytics.
3. Navigate to Global Settings.

Why this matters: Global Settings control application-wide configurations. Adding the Measurement ID here ensures that analytics tracking applies across the entire application.

Step 2: Locate the Google Analytics Section

What to do:

• Within Global Settings, scroll down to find the Google Analytics section.
• This section is located after the Application Settings section.

Why this matters: SnapApp separates analytics settings from other application configurations to avoid accidental changes and to keep tracking settings organized.

Step 3: Enter the Google Analytics Measurement ID

What to do:

• In the input field provided, paste your Measurement ID in the format:

Important notes:

• Ensure there are no extra spaces before or after the ID
• Double-check that the ID matches the correct Google Analytics property

Why this matters: Entering an incorrect Measurement ID may result in:

• No data being tracked
• Data being sent to the wrong analytics property

Step 4: Save the Configuration

What to do:

• Click Save or Update to apply the changes.

What happens next:

• SnapApp embeds the Google Analytics tracking logic into the application
• User interaction data starts flowing to Google Analytics

Why this matters: Changes are not applied until saved. Saving confirms and activates analytics tracking.

What Data is Collected in SnapApp

Once configured, SnapApp tracks and sends the following data to Google Analytics:

• Page views
• User navigation paths
• Click interactions
• Session duration
• General engagement metrics

This data is processed by Google Analytics and made available through reports and dashboards.

Dashboards and Insights

Based on collected analytics data, SnapApp creates dashboards that help visualize:

• User demographics
• Website traffic trends
• Behavior patterns
• Application performance metrics

These dashboards simplify complex data and make it easier for users to understand and act on insights.

Verification (Optional but Recommended)

After setup, you can verify that analytics is working correctly by:

1. Opening Google Analytics
2. Navigating to Reports → Realtime
3. Interacting with your SnapApp application
4. Confirming that activity appears in real-time reports
