@kapa.ai I have some questions about the GA4 connector. Is there a way to get a unique ID associated with an individual user session or individual user? If so what stream does that live in?

Thinking completed The knowledge sources don't contain enough information to give a definitive answer about session or user-level unique IDs in the GA4 connector. That said, here's what I can share based on the available documentation: Potentially relevant dimensions to explore: The GA4 Data API supports dimensions like
sessionId
and
userId
(among others), but these are not explicitly listed in the knowledge sources for this connector. You could potentially access them via a custom report by specifying those dimensions directly. For example, a custom report targeting session-level data might look like:
Copy code
[
  {
    "name": "Session ID Report",
    "dimensions": ["sessionId"],
    "metrics": ["sessions"]
  }
]
Important caveats: 1. Whether
sessionId
or
userId
are available depends on your GA4 property configuration and what Google's API exposes. You can verify compatibility using the GA4 Dimensions & Metrics Explorer. [Custom Reports] 2. None of the preconfigured streams (e.g.,
daily_active_users
,
traffic_sources
, etc.) are documented as containing a per-session or per-user unique ID. [Supported Streams] 3. GA4 itself has privacy limitations — individual user-level data (like a persistent user ID) may not always be available via the Data API depending on your property settings and consent configurations. My recommendation: Check the GA4 Dimensions & Metrics Explorer to confirm
sessionId
or
userId
availability for your property, then configure a custom report stream in Airbyte to pull that data. [Custom Reports] 👍 0 button 👎 0 button â„šī¸ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
