## What It Is
|
|
|
|
This integration enables you to connect your Botpress bot with Google Analytics, allowing you to update user profiles, track node views, and custom events directly within your bot's flows.
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
The integration works by using actions to interact with Google Analytics via the Measurement Protocol. Here's a brief overview of the actions:
|
|
|
|
1. **Update User Profile**: Sends user profile updates to Google Analytics.
|
|
2. **Track Node**: Tracks when a specific node within your bot is triggered, sending event data to Google Analytics.
|
|
3. **Track Event**: Sends custom event data to Google Analytics, including optional properties defined in the payload.
|
|
|
|
These actions utilize Google Analytics Measurement ID and an API Secret for secure data transmission.
|
|
|
|
