Google Analytics

Connect GA4 to ask about website traffic, conversions, user behavior, and real-time visitors.

What do I need before connecting?

  • A Google Analytics 4 property (Universal Analytics is not supported)
  • The Google Analytics Data API enabled in your Google Cloud project — enable it here
  • A Google account with at least Viewer access to the GA4 property

How do I connect?

  1. Go to Integrations
  2. Click Connect on the Google Analytics card
  3. Sign in with your Google account and approve read-only access
  4. If you have multiple GA4 properties, pick the one you want
  5. If Novica can't detect your properties, enter the Property ID manually (find it in GA4 → Admin → Property Settings, or in the URL after /p/)

What can I ask once GA4 is connected?

  • How many visitors did I get this week?
  • Where is most of my traffic coming from?
  • What are my top landing pages by conversion rate?
  • Show me traffic this week vs last week
  • What's my bounce rate on the homepage?
  • How many people are on my site right now?
  • Show me mobile vs desktop breakdown
  • What countries are my visitors from?

I'm getting "Access denied" or "API not enabled"

Novica says "no properties found" after connecting

  • The Google account you signed in with needs at least Viewer access to the GA4 property
  • Check: GA4 → Admin → Account Access Management → make sure your email is listed
  • If you still don't see properties, you can enter the Property ID manually — it's the number in your GA4 URL after /p/

My data looks wrong or is missing recent activity

  • GA4 has a processing delay of 24-48 hours for standard reports
  • For recent data, try asking for real-time data: How many people are on my site right now?
  • Real-time reports are instant; historical reports may lag

Does Novica have write access to my analytics?

No. Novica has read-only access. It can query your reports but can't modify any settings, goals, or property configuration.
