How to synchronize Google Analytics with Google Sheets

Sync Google Analytics with Google Sheets to simplify your data analysis. Pull key metrics: sessions, conversions, bounce rate, and more - automatically into a spreadsheet you control. No more digging through dashboards or manual CSV exports. With resynced.io, your data is always up to date.

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.
• 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.
• Share insights easily with your team or stakeholders by controlling access through Google Sheets; no need to share full GA account permissions.
• Combine Google Analytics data with other sources (like email campaigns or sales data) to uncover deeper, cross-platform insights.

In this guide, you'll learn how to connect Google Analytics to Google Sheets using resynced.io. We'll walk through connecting accounts, selecting the right metrics and dimensions, mapping fields, and setting up automatic syncs.

By the end, you'll have GA data updating in your spreadsheet every 10 minutes, ready for reports, dashboards, and insights.

1. Prepare your data

Before syncing, ensure your Google Sheets have the columns you want to connect.

You can:

• 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 resynced.io's automatic column creation. This will copy selected fields from the Google Analytics object and automatically create matching columns in your Google Sheet.

2. Select platforms, connect accounts, and pick a source

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.

For Google Analytics:

• Select the correct GA account
• Pick the right property
• Choose the reporting period

For Google Sheets:

• Select the spreadsheet and sheet where your data will be sent
• You can send different reports to different sheets within the same file, just create a separate sync for each one.

3. Map fields and start synchronization

Google Analytics data consists of metrics (numbers) and dimensions (categories, such as country, device, etc.).

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.Since Google Analytics is a read-only source, the sync only works in one direction: from Analytics to Sheets.

Once the mapping is set, click "Save and Run" sync to begin. Your sync will run in the background every 10 minutes, or you can trigger it manually with "Sync Now."
