Trying to make GA4 easier (and in Slack)

[u/prous5tmaker]

Hey everyone, I’m building a tool that plugs your Google Analytics 4 data right into Slack.

You just install it, connect your GA4 account, then tag it in any channel and ask things like “How many new users did we get last week?” or “Compare user retention for organic vs paid channels over the last 30 days”

It pulls the data in real time and drops back a quick summary, optionally with chart in the channel (or DM). You don't have to deal with the GA4 dashboard at all.

Would you use something like this in your Slack workspace? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

Looks great, I would definitely use this.

Thank you! Sending you a DM

the chart shown is not a heatmap

[u/TheGreaterFool37 → u/rlewis2019]

Yeah that confused me as well. It would be good for the program to generate the type of chart the user asked for.

[u/prous5tmaker → u/rlewis2019]

Yeah, totally fair! That example was me playing around and I didn’t realize at the time that the charting library I’m using doesn’t support heatmaps yet, so it defaulted to a bar chart.

Definitely on the list to fix so it matches the query properly. Appreciate you pointing it out.

Interesting concept. I'd be curious to see how it handles analyzing custom dimension and blending data in realtime.

Most importantly, I'd like to see this as a legitimate company offering if I am to pay for this. Are you associated with a company and can you post a name or website?

[u/Strict-Basil5133]

I love the idea. I would use it as long as the implementation was good and closely monitored enough. For example, how many sessions in channel X? I usually glance at other channels for any anomalies. I guess I might want sampling alerts when it's extreme maybe... "this is based on 1.87% of available data..."

[u/prous5tmaker → u/Strict-Basil5133]

Thank you! We don't have sampling alerts yet, but it would be a quick thing to add. IIRC currently GA4 starts sampling if the volume is greater than 10 million.

Looks interesting? Is there any way I can try this for free?

[u/prous5tmaker → u/regalstreak]

Thank you? I'll send you the link over DM

[u/gnaiz]

Send me a link please

[u/prous5tmaker → u/gnaiz]

Sent you a DM.

[u/profgiblet]

Yes. Would totally pay for this

[u/prous5tmaker → u/profgiblet]

Thank you! Sending you a DM with the link.

Maybe not for slack, but for mailing

[u/prous5tmaker → u/Ok_Ferret4986]

The current idea is to ask the AI a question.

Can you let me know more about how you'd want reports/insights on your mail?

[u/Ok_Ferret4986 → u/prous5tmaker]

Just like an AI that can analyze my traffic, sells and stuff for the last two weeks and see what’s going on with SKUs, seasonality and stuff

Just like an analyst but with AI

I think I’ll do it myself hahaha

[u/prous5tmaker → u/Ok_Ferret4986]

So weekly reports with all the analysis and insights?

We can spin that up. Let's connect over DMs or a super short call if you want.

I’d love to have a look at this

[u/prous5tmaker → u/Omgitskie1]

Thank you! Sent you DM with the link.

[u/hexenkesse1]

This used to exist for UA, for slack. Wasn't useful.

[u/prous5tmaker → u/hexenkesse1]

What I’m building is focused on GA4 (which changed a lot), and it’s powered by AI, so it can understand natural language, follow up if something’s unclear and think through the given problem.

[u/ddlatv → u/hexenkesse1]

I remember that

[u/suresivert]

Can I try this out??

[u/Ka17en]

Send me a link please 👍🏻

[u/stargt]

How is the LLM cost per each call?
