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.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

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:

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a powerful cloud-based email sending service designed to help digital marketers and application developers send marketing, notification, and transactional emails. With the SES API, you can reliably send emails at scale, manage sender reputations, view email sending statistics, and maintain a high deliverability rate. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can integrate SES seamlessly into serverless workflows, automate email responses based on triggers from other apps, and analyze the effectiveness of your email campaigns by connecting to data analytics platforms.
