Google Analytics Overview#

The Google Analytics API unlocks the power of your analytics data, enabling automated access to custom reports, real-time statistics, and user behavior analysis. With it, you can extract actionable insights, push data to other platforms, and tailor your business strategy with precision. Leveraging Pipedream's serverless platform, these capabilities can be seamlessly integrated into workflows that trigger actions in other apps, send alerts, or even feed data warehouses for deeper analysis.

Action Authentication#

Google Analytics uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Google Analytics account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Analytics and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Google Analytics API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
