# Set up Google Analytics in Channable

> #### **Who can use this feature**
>
> You need the **Core Pro** plan in your [Channable subscription](/account-billing/manage-your-subscription/channables-pricing-plans.md) to use this feature.

Google Analytics can be used to track conversion rates across all of your different channels. Through the Channable integration, you have the ability to filter items based on their performance in order to gain insights on which channels are best suited for your items.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If a Google Analytics connection expires, Channable shows a `failed API` error. [Reconnect Google Analytics](/manage-improve-product-data/insights/channable-analytics/analytics-troubleshooting/fixing-a-failed-analytics-download-error.md) to resume imports.
{% endhint %}

### <i class="fa-memo-circle-check">:memo-circle-check:</i> Before you start

**You'll need**

* A Google Analytics account

**Good to know**

* Channable adds a unique tracking code (e.g., `?channable=e1234.XsuTrWezY`) to identify traffic. This code is automatically added to your URLs once the analytics connection is activated in Channable.
* Analytics data in Channable can lag Google Analytics by up to 24 hours.
* Analytics data only works with APIs that create ads linking to your website. Marketplaces, such as Amazon, do not link to your website, so Analytics cannot track that traffic.

### **Create a Google analytics connection**

1. In your Channable project, go to **Setup**.
2. Click the **Analytics** tab.
3. Click **Setup analytics**.
4. Fill in your settings:
   1. For **Connect with**, select an existing Google Analytics connection, or create a new one. If creating a new connection, you'll be redirected to Google Analytics to log in with your credentials and confirm Channable can access your analytics data.
   2. For **Unique ID per item**, select the field containing your item IDs. Make sure this is the same ID field you're using in your Google Shopping channel.
   3. For **Link field**, select the project field containing the links to each of your items (their item URL/landing pages). This is where the tracking UTM will be attached.&#x20;
   4. For **Date range**, select the specific date range of Analytics data you want to import into Channable.
   5. For **Google Analytics property ID**, enter the Property ID from your Google Analytics account.

{% hint style="info" %}
If a pop-up doesn't appear, open your browser in incognito mode and disable your pop-up blocker. Without this pop-up, the Analytics connection will not work because we don't have access.
{% endhint %}

5. Click **Save**.

After data is available, [review Google Analytics performance](/manage-improve-product-data/insights/channable-analytics/review-google-analytics-performance.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://helpcenter.channable.com/manage-improve-product-data/insights/channable-analytics/set-up-google-analytics-in-channable.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
