Hello there!
In the Summer '23 release, Salesforce added the Google Analytics 4 Beta connector (not the Core API 4 for Universal Analytics), but despite what the Salseforce Guide says (https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.bi_integrate_connectors_ga4_settings.htm&type=5) i can't find the same objects I used in the GA 360 connector, such as the Traffic and the Global Access Object.
Has anyone encountered the same issue or found a solution? Or, maybe, the objects have new names as compared with the ones i pointed out? I would really appreciate any tip.
Thank you.
Hi, the GA4 connector is different from the older Google Analytics/GA 360 connector, so you shouldn’t expect the same predefined objects such as Traffic or Global Access to appear.
The GA4 connector uses the Google Analytics Data API and exposes virtual objects based on the dimensions and metrics available through that API. Salesforce also notes that you select the objects and configure their PropertyID, StartDate, and EndDate through the connection's Advanced Object Properties.
So rather than looking for the old GA 360 object names, I’d recommend checking the available GA4 virtual objects and choosing the dimensions/metrics that correspond to the data you need. Salesforce also recommends using Google's Dimensions & Metrics Explorer or Query Explorer to verify that the desired combinations are supported.
If you can share which fields/data from the old Traffic and Global Access objects you need, we can identify the closest GA4 dimensions and metrics.
