With the Google Analytics GA4 integration you can pull in your website's data from Google Analytics to work with it directly inside Conductor Website Monitoring.
Metrics
Conductor Website Monitoring displays the following metrics from Google Analytics 4:
- Screen Pageviews
- Active Users
- User Engagement
- Engagement Rate
Using the Google Analytics data
The Google Analytics data is available in the Pages screen:
Google Analytics data is always aggregated for a lookback period of the past 90 days. You can see the exact date range for which the data is displayed on the Page detail screen:
You can also create segments based on Google Analytics data, which can be very useful when targeting your highest-performing pages.
Setting up the Google Analytics integration
Setting up the Google Analytics integration is a breeze. Just follow these five simple steps:
- Click Account in the sidebar to get to the overview of your websites.
- Click the website you want to connect.

- Click Connect, and authenticate with Google Analytics.
- Select the relevant Google Analytics Account and Property.

Error: website not found in Google Analytics account
You might run into an error while trying to connect your account to Google Analytics:
This might occur because you are connecting the wrong Google Analytics account. In that case, simply click Connect again and authenticate the correct account.
Connecting a different version of Google Analytics
If you've connected Google's legacy Universal Analytics with Conductor Website Monitoring, you can change the connection to Google Analytics 4. However, there are several caveats to doing this.
After changing the connection, the previous version will stop being updated in Conductor Website Monitoring and if you have no dependencies on the old version (such as segments, alerts, or issue ignoring), the columns will be removed from the Pages screen.
If you have dependencies on the previous version, you should update them to the new columns that correspond to the columns in the version that you connected previously (eg. Pageviews to Screen Pageviews).
Until the dependencies have been updated, columns from both versions will be shown on the Pages screen, however, as mentioned, only the columns from the newly connected version will be updated with the fresh data.
