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.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Google Analytics	`analytics`	`app`	This component uses the Google Analytics app.

Trigger 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:

emailprofilehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.edithttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly

TinyURL Overview#

The TinyURL API lets you shorten URLs seamlessly, which can be particularly useful when dealing with lengthy or complex web addresses. With Pipedream, you can integrate the TinyURL API to create concise, manageable links that can be easily shared, tracked, or embedded in various digital content. Beyond simple URL shortening, using Pipedream's serverless platform enables you to automate workflows that involve generating, distributing, and monitoring TinyURLs in conjunction with other apps and services.
