      How to connect Google Analytics to Databox

      To connect a Google Analytics Account in Databox, go to  Data Manager > + New connection. Type Google Analytics in the search bar and click on the green Connect button. 

      This will open the  Authorization window, which is where you will be prompted to enter your Google login credentials and authorize the Databox app. 

      If you have multiple web properties within your Google Analytics Account, you will be prompted to select the web property that you want to connect with Databox. This will determine the web pages that data is synced for. Learn more about Google web properties here. 

      If you have multiple Views set in your Google Analytics Account, you'll also be prompted to select the View that you want to connect with Databox. If you don't have multiple Views, All Web Site Data will automatically be connected. 

      Pro Tip: Each Google Analytics View must be connected as a separate Data Source in Databox (1 View = 1 Data Source). 

      Can I connect a Google Analytics View?

      Yes. If you have multiple Views set in your Google Analytics Account, you'll also be prompted to select the View that you want to connect with Databox.

      If you don't have multiple Views,  All Web Site Data will automatically be connected. 

      Pro Tip: Each Google Analytics View must be connected as a separate Data Source in Databox (1 View = 1 Data Source). 

      Can I connect a View/ Property created with Firebase? 

      Currently, there is not data accessible from the Google Analytics API for Views/ Properties that were created with Firebase. Firebase is a 3rd party app connected to Google Analytics that does not provide a public API to access the associated analytics data. 

      In order to make this data available to be synced by Databox, you must link your Firebase app to Google BigQuery. Once this is complete, all Google Analytics events moving forward will be written to BigQuery (this is the raw data, not the aggregated data you'll see on your dashboards). 

      Learn more about linking your Firebase app to BigQuery in Google's help documentation.

      At this point, you can connect Google BigQuery to Databox. This will allow you to create dashboards to monitor your data in a more digestible and valuable way.

      Can I connect a Google Analytics Segment?

      Google Analytics Segments can not currently be connected with Databox.

      What's the maximum amount of historical data initially available when you use a new Google Analytics Metric in Databox?

      Data is synced for the Metrics that are being used in your Account, so when you first use a new Google Analytics Metric, the maximum amount of historical data available is 36 months.

      Certain Metrics may have less historical data available based on API restrictions. For more information about the amount of historical data available for a specific Metric, please contact our Support Team at [email protected]

      Pro Tip:  In order to start syncing data for a Metric, you can add it to your Metrics screen, use it in a Scorecard, set a Goal around it, create an Alert for it, or add it to a Databoard. Learn more  here .  
          The amount of historical data you're able to access in Databox is dependent on your Databox plan. Learn more
      here
        . 

      What time zone does Google Analytics data sync in?

      Google Analytics data is synced in the time zone set in the Google Analytics Account. For example, if your Google Analytics Account time zone is set as EST, your Google Analytics data will sync with Databox in EST. 

      How many API calls can Databox make to Google Analytics API?

      Based on Google Analytics rate limits, Databox is able to make the following API requests: 
      • 1,600,000 requests per day
      • 2,000 requests per 100 seconds
      • 1,000 requests per 100 seconds per user

      How to access pre-built Google Analytics Templates

      Databoards > Public Templates Data Source Google Analytics Preview Use Template Databoards
      Pro Tip: Once the Databoard is available on the Databoards page, it is completely disconnected from the public Template. Therefore, you can further customize this Databoard to meet your specific needs using the Designer.
