Adding your Google Analytics 4 data to Madgicx lets you see the impact of more of your marketing efforts by including data from your website or app. You can find these analytics in the Business Dashboard and in reports in One-Click Report (as long as you have a subscription for this add-on).

Google Analytics permissions required

You must be an admin, editor, or analyst in Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to share the data with your Madgicx account. 

If you don’t have these permissions, you need to get them from an administrator.

To simplify things, we have outlined the steps below that you can share with your administrator.

How to add new admins in Google Analytics

For an admin to grant you access to a Google Analytics asset, they need to:

1. Open Google Analytics.
2. Click Admin in the bottom-left corner (⚙️), and navigate to the “Account” column that appears.

3. Click “Account Access Management.”

4. In the “Account permissions” list that appears, click “+” in the top right, then click “Add users.”

5. Enter the email address for the user's Google account
6. Select Admin, Editor, or Analyst permissions and set any data restrictions if there are any.

7. Click “Add.”

The new user will get an email invitation from Google Analytics, which they must accept by clicking the button in the email and following the instructions.

Connect GA4 to the Business Dashboard

When you have the correct permission, you can go back to Madgicx to connect the account. Go to the Business Dashboard from the Analytics menu icon in the main Madgicx menu.

Click the Google Analytics 4 icon in the strip at the top of the page.

A new window will open where you must log in to Google with the email account linked to Google Analytics. Follow the instructions and approve the permissions required by Madgicx.

You’re set! Your GA4 data is now visible in the Business Dashboard.
