Can someone help me get the new style Google Analytics configured ?
I have created an analytics account on analytics.google.com and now have a new style G-0123456789 Measurement ID number instead of the older style universal analytics UA-9876543210 number.
I tried putting the G-0123456789 number into the CScart Google Analytics Add-on but could not see any real time tracking results and view source on a browser revealed that the code snippet inserted by the add-on was completely different to what Google Analytics requires. It seems to only support the older style UA ids.
If I understand it correctly, there is a new way of integrating analytics and other 3rd party snippets using tags now.
So, I have set up a tagmanager.google.com account and now have a GTM-ABCDEFG number. This also suggested a script snippet to be added to every page of the website. Thankfully eCom Labs publish a free Google Tag Manager add on which does this and I can see the snippet is all good using view source in a browser and appearing on every web page.
In tagmanager.google.com I added a 'Google Analytics: GA4 configuration" tag and used the G-0123456789 number as the measurement ID and trigger to "Send a page view event when this configuration loads"
Back in analytics in the Web Stream Details there is a Connected Site Tags field which I have tried with and without the G-0123456789 but there is still no real time tracking info showing up in Analytics.
Debugging using tagassistant.google.com fails with "Tag Assistant could not connect to a tag on https://mysite.co.uk/"
Any ideas what have I missed or done wrong ?
