What is a Google Event?

How you can use it in your Analytics account?

Google Analytics 4 events describe user interactions through an event name and contextual parameters. The old Universal Analytics category, action and label model is no longer used.

Recommended events should retain Google's prescribed names and parameters so they can populate reports, ecommerce metrics and audiences. Automatically collected and enhanced-measurement interactions normally should not be duplicated manually.

This builder generates gtag.js calls, dataLayer objects and Measurement Protocol templates. Measurement Protocol credentials must remain on the server.
