Test your Google Analytics Integration
After mapping your property id to your Eventzilla event's settings, make sure that you are able to see page views and events coming through in your Google Analytics reporting console. Please note that it can take up to 24 hours for these metrics to appear in the GA reports, however, the same will be available in GA 'Real time" view immediately.
Implementation Guide
| Section | Details |
|---|---|
| Handling value changes | Send a full snapshot of the order at each step (updated order_value , discount , tax , etc.). |
| Repeat attributes | Include all context attributes in every event. GA4 does not persist attributes automatically. |
| Arrays | Always send tickets[] , addons[] , and sessions[] arrays — even if empty until populated. |
| When to include | Viewed_EventPage: Only top-level event attributes. All registration steps: Send the full context (event + order + arrays). |
Viewing Data in Google Analytics
