Overview
Google Analytics only captures data for event Registration pages and Hub Pages, not pages within the event itself.
The Google Analytics integration syncs user interaction with event Registration pages and Hub Pages to your Analytics Account using Google's Global Site Tag functionality.
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites must be satisfied before you can begin the Google Analytics integration process.
Goldcast
Event Organizer access to Goldcast Studio.
Google Analytics
A Data Stream that has been configured for Web platforms. Please refer to Google's documentation if you are unfamiliar with how to set this up.
Connecting a Google Analytics Stream to a Goldcast Org
The following information from your Analytics Account will be required to complete this integration:
- The Global Site Tag Script for the Data Stream you would like to link to a Goldcast Org.
Follow the instructions below for obtaining this information and setting up your integration.
Select the Admin icon in the bottom-left corner of the page.
- Once you have been redirected to the Admin page, select the Data Streams link from the Property menu.
- A list of all Data Streams associated with your account will appear. Select the stream you would like to link to your Goldcast Org to continue.
- You will be redirected to its Details page. Locate the Tagging Instructions menu then click on the Global site tag (gtag.js) dropdown under the Add new on-page tag tab.

Now that you've copied the script, you are ready to set up your integration.
