Track Your Community with Google Analytics 4

We've added Google Analytics 4 integration to Coralbeat. Now you can send member engagement data directly to your own GA4 dashboard and get full visibility into how members interact with your community.

How It Works

Enter your Google Analytics Measurement ID in your Coralbeat settings to automatically start sending member engagement data to your Google Analytics dashboard. Once configured, you'll have visibility into basic member engagement events tracked in your community.

To disable tracking anytime, simply remove the Measurement ID.

Getting Your GA4 Measurement ID

Before you can connect Coralbeat, you'll need a Google Analytics 4 Measurement ID. Here's how to get it:

Step 1: Access Google Analytics

Go to analytics.google.com and sign in with your Google account.

Step 2: Set Up Your GA4 Property

If you don't have a GA4 property yet, create one first. Follow Google's guide to set up your property.

Step 3: Get Your Measurement ID

1. In the top-left account/property picker, confirm you're in the correct Account and Property for this community

2. Open Admin → Data streams

   

3. Select your Web data stream

   

4. Copy your Measurement ID (starts with G-)

   

Configuring Coralbeat

Once you have your Measurement ID:

1. Go to Settings → Analytics in your Admin Dashboard

1. Enter your GA4 Measurement ID in the field

1. Click Save

That's it! Coralbeat will now send member engagement data to your Google Analytics dashboard.

Viewing Your Data

After connecting your GA4 Measurement ID, data will start flowing to your Google Analytics dashboard. Keep in mind that it may take some time for data to appear in your reports. Check your GA4 Realtime reports first to see activity as it happens, then review standard reports after Google has processed the data.

For detailed information about data processing times and reporting, see Google's Analytics documentation.

Privacy Note

If your community serves users in the EU or other regions with data privacy regulations, make sure to update your privacy policy to mention Google Analytics usage and configure appropriate consent mechanisms as required by law.

Disabling Tracking

To turn off GA4 tracking:

1. Go to Settings → Analytics in your Admin Dashboard
2. Remove the Measurement ID from the field
3. Click Save

Tracking stops immediately. Your existing data in GA4 remains accessible.
