Google Analytics: traffic for your pages

The Google Analytics connector is read-only measurement. It reads sessions, users, and page views for the existing pages you enrich with Peithos, so you can see traffic against the work. It connects through Google with read-only access and never changes anything.

What you need

A Google account with access to a GA4 property. During the connection you pick which GA4 property Peithos reads from. Connecting requires a workspace admin.

Connecting Google Analytics

1. Open Connections

   In Peithos, open Settings, then Connections, and find Google Analytics. Connecting is limited to workspace admins.

2. Continue to Google Analytics

   Choose Continue to Google Analytics on the connector card. Peithos then opens Google's own consent screen.

   In Peithos

   1. Settings
   2. Connections
   3. Google Analytics

   

3. Approve and pick the GA4 property

   Google lists the read-only access Peithos requests. Peithos never sees your Google password. Approve it, choose the GA4 property you want Peithos to read, and return connected. The token is stored encrypted in our vault.

What it does

Peithos reads sessions, users, and page views for the existing pages you enrich, so you can see traffic against the work. The connection is read-only; it never changes anything in Analytics.

Troubleshooting

• The connect button says denied. Connecting is limited to workspace admins. Ask a workspace admin to connect, or to make you an admin.
• The numbers look wrong. You may have picked the wrong GA4 property. Reconnect and choose the correct property.
• The connection shows needs attention. The Google grant was revoked. Reconnect from Connections to reauthorize.

Removing the connection

Open the Google Analytics connection and click Disconnect. This revokes the grant at Google and deletes the stored token from our systems immediately, ending all further access in one step. Reconnecting later starts a fresh authorization from the beginning.
