Helpful notes and pro tips
NOTES:
- Google Analytics has recently updated to Google Analytics 4 from Universal Analytics (UA) which will be out of service soon.
- We’re always keeping our software up-to-date and so you’ll need to make sure you’re using the latest version of Google Analytics 4 for this Integration to work on Fresha.
- If you’re currently using a Universal Analytics property within our Google Analytics Integration, you’ll need to replace this with a new Google Analytics 4 property.
- Your Fresha account can only be integrated with one Google Analytics ID.
PRO TIP: When creating a Google Analytics Property for your account, we recommend using your business name as an easy way to keep track.
