Google Analytics 4 Plugin for Construct 3 enables metrics and analytics for your games easily.
Google Analytics 4 plugin for Construct 3 allows you to track your game visits and events using the latest Google Analytics version. Google has leveraged several new metrics and dashboards that provide more insights of your applications with the usage of GA4. This plugin activates the functionality with no technical knowledge required, however, you will need to set up your GA4 account to be able to have the GTAG ID required for the plugin to work. Universal Analytics has already been deprecated by Google, so this is a must have plugin now.
The plugin uses an external-dependency file that you should consider. The GA4 service requires the Google API gtag.js, therefore the plugin always requires an internet connection to be able to work properly.
The plugin is compatible with HTML5, Facebook instant games, Scirra Arcade, WebView for windows and Mac, and NW.js.
This plugin comes with a Demo to make it easier for you to understand its functionality, and ACEs are also fully documented on the official help website.
For a more detailed review of how the GA4 works, please visit the official documentation. Please notice that GA4 is not meant to be used in Android/iOS apps, in those cases you must use Firebase instead.
If you bought the plugin, I really appreciate you can leave a review or contact me to provide feedback.
Disclaimer: Files provide two version of the plugin to support SDK v1 and SDK v2, so that you can decide when to upgrade to the latest version of construct or remain in the LTS version that supports SDK v1. Pluggin support is only provided for Construct 3 stable versions.

So I don't really know how analytics works. I just knew I needed to track data. Thankfully, this plugin was very easy to set up (the demo was very helpful) but it left me a bit confused, as I couldn't really work out why my web app is not communicating with Google Analytics... (I'm pretty sure it has to do with my settings and none of your business :D) but a little bit of step by step guidance on how to set up Analytics to work 100% with the game, and some other info, like whether the plugin will work in preview and stuff like that, would be 7/5 rating for rookies like myself
Thanks for your review! If you still have any issues with setting up the plugin, feel free to reach out to my discord server to receive direct support, or refer to the documentation available on my website at www.imcsw.com. I'll be happy to assist you.
Does it work somehow with Android Apps? It was a plugin Google Analytics Wrapper on Construct 2, it worked with Andoid apps. I am trying now to use your plugins, but they are working only on desktop. Is there any way to let them work in APKs?
Hi Scarlet, thanks for your review. For Android exports, you should use the Firebase SDK as explained in the official documentation of GA4; this plugin is only for Google Analytics.

Hi, I bought your plugin, but it doesn't work for android? I tried to install it, but nothing. Can you help me?
Hi Olympo, GA4 doesn't work in Android. For that purpose, you will always have to integrate with Firebase. Although both analytics services use the same engine, GA won't work on Android apps, that's a Google restriction. For any HTML5 app, this plugin fits perfectly.
I hadn't used GA4 before but with this add-on I had it up and running in no time! Sending events on triggers was very straightforward. Although I had a little trouble getting the right syntax for optional event data in a stringified JSON format. A few examples on the website or in the download would be very helpful, but a little googling did the trick as well.
For others that may be looking:
"{""key1"":"&var1&",""key2"":"&var2&"}"
Thanks again for a great add-on!
Thanks a lot for your review! The plugin works with the regular JSON format, to represent quotes " within a string, you add \ before it. "\"hi\"" is translated into "hi". You can refer to the JSON official documentation to solve further doubts:

The plugin is easy to use, and the samples are clear. I got this running in less than 30 minutes
