Gatsby: Support for App + Web property Google Analytics Measurement ID in gatsby-plugin-google-tagmanager

[danielmgzzg]

Summary

I'm not sure if I'm setting this up correctly but I know my gatsby-plugin-google-tagmanager has a problem when I load the measurement id as in the picture below as a tag, it's not returning data from the production build even with the same gatsby-route-change trigger in the tag configuration.

I'm not sure if there is support yet, since this is still a beta (see links below for reference). But we wanted to explore this option as it would be great to make use of the extended features it offers now. Any help would be greatly appreciated to understand this better, or we could just switch back to tracking id from google analytics, which worked with the plugin.

      },
    },

Any progress on this?

Since this is in Beta the current plugins and their script tags they add to the HTML don't support that. Feel free to send in a PR or copy the plugin code into your project and update the script tag itself.

Google Analytics 4 is now out of public beta. Anyone got any ideas if this is fixed?

doesn't seem to work for me, I have gatsby site that works fine using the old google "UA" IDs

with google analytics 4 I can't seem to get my analytics integrated

For anyone arriving here from Google and facing challenges integrating a new Google Analytics account with a Measurement ID (starting "G-") instead of a tracking ID (starting "UA-"), it's still possible to create an old version Universal Analytics account when setting up your property in the Analytics dashboard. Under advanced settings use the option to create a Universal Analytics property as well as the default Google Analytics 4 property to ensure that you will also get a "UA-" tracking ID. This will let you use this plugin until it's updated for the new version of Google Analytics.

Are there any plans to upgrade to google analytics 4? If so, is there an issue to track the progress?
