If you start every week by compiling last week's analytics report and have to deal with opening Google Analytics, screenshotting key metrics, copying data into spreadsheets, and then manually updating your team dashboard, this article is for you.
There is an easy way to complete the time-consuming tasks that require effort. With resynced.io, your data is always up to date and automatically synced to your preferred reporting platform: no more manual exports, no more outdated dashboards, no more scattered analytics across different tools.Do you want to know how?
Read on and find out about the best Google Analytics dashboard integrations.
Why Connect Google Analytics to Your Reporting Dashboard?
The traditional approach to analytics reporting is broken. Teams waste hours each week manually transferring data from Google Analytics to their reporting dashboards. Here's what changes when you automate this process:
- Your analytics data flows automatically to your Google Analytics 4 (GA4) dashboard. Your sync will run in the background every 10 minutes, ensuring your reports are always up to date.
- You can spot trends, identify issues, and capitalize on opportunities in real-time rather than waiting for weekly reports.
- You can combine Google Analytics data with other sources (like email campaigns or sales data) to uncover cross-platform insights.
No need to share full GA account permissions. Everyone sees the same data without compromising account security.
Popular Dashboard Platforms for GA Integration
1. Google Sheets
Once your Google Analytics data is in Google Sheets, you can create fully customizable dashboards that update automatically with fresh data and include interactive charts. Perfect for teams already comfortable with spreadsheet-based reporting.
Best for: Financial reporting, detailed analysis, sharing with external stakeholders
2. Notion
You can store and organize website analytics in Notion databases for easy access and tracking. Here, it’s easy to monitor marketing goals or campaign performance by linking traffic data with planning or reporting pages.
Best for: Content teams, project-based reporting, integrated workflow management

Connecting Google Analytics to Your Dashboard
Why resynced.io is your best choice:
- No technical setup required - Simple three-step process
- Real-time synchronization - Updates every 10 minutes
- Multiple platform support - Google Sheets, Notion, monday.com, Smartsheet
- Flexible field mapping - Use Auto-Mapping to quickly link fields with the same names or map them manually if needed
- One-direction sync reliability - Since Google Analytics is a read-only source, the sync only works in one direction: from Analytics to Sheets
Universal Setup Process that works for all platforms:
Step 1: Prepare Your Data
Before syncing, ensure your Google Sheets have the columns you want to connect. You have three options:
- Create columns manually in Google Sheets. In the first row, add headers for the Google Analytics metrics and dimensions you want to sync
- Add columns directly in resynced.io. You can create new columns from the sync interface and name them to match Google Analytics (GA) fields
- Use automatic column creation. This will copy selected fields from the Google Analytics object and automatically create matching columns in your Google Sheet
Step 2:
Connect Your Accounts
In resynced.io, choose Google Analytics and Google Sheets as the apps to sync:
- For Google Analytics, click Add new connection and authorize your Google Analytics account
- For Google Sheets, also authorize your account and grant the requested permissions
Configure Your Data Sources
For Google Analytics:
- Select the correct GA account
- Pick the right property
- Choose the reporting period
Step 3: Map Fields and Launch
Google Analytics data consists of metrics (numbers) and dimensions (categories, such as country or device).
Match the GA metrics and dimensions to the corresponding Google Sheets columns. Use Auto-Mapping to quickly link fields with the same names or map them manually if needed.
Once the mapping is set, click "Save and Run" to begin the sync. Your sync will run in the background every 10 minutes, or you can trigger it manually with "Sync Now."
Integrations to Choose
The resynced.io solution had its benefits that we’d like to outline here:
Google Sheets Integration
- Analyze and compare data across multiple GA views side by side in a single spreadsheet
- Perform advanced calculations and build custom metrics that Google Analytics alone doesn't support, perfect for tailored marketing reports
- You can send different reports to different sheets within the same file, just create a separate sync for each one
Notion Database Integration
- Track website KPIs as part of broader project or content workflows in your workspace
- Share selected metrics with your team in a readable format, without giving full access to Google Analytics
- If you just created a connection with access to many databases, Notion's API may take a few minutes to load them
monday.com board Integration
