Google Analytics 4 - July 1st, 2023


UPDATE[2024-02-23] - an integration for GA4 is coming! More news in our Discord server when they'll be available.


Google announced that all standard Universal Analytics properties will stop processing new hits on July 1, 2023 and that only Google Analytics 4 will be available. The current state of the Measurement Protocol for GA4 doesn't allow us to provide an integration at the moment. We're in touch with Google and the Google Analytics team is aware of the current limitations.


Universal Analytics 360 properties will continue to work until July 1, 2024. The plugin will work for them until that date.


You can find more details in our Knowledge Base.
