How to connect to Google Analytics 4 | Autocorp.ai Help Center

The Google Analytics 4 (GA4) integration connects your GA4 property with AVA™ Portal to deliver detailed, event-level analytics for your dealership website. This article explains how to install GA4, configure event tracking, and send events to a specific Measurement ID.

Setting up GA4 for your dealership is straightforward. Simply ensure GA4 is installed correctly on your site, and AVA™ will handle the rest.

For ensuring that GA4 is installed properly on your site please refer to the google documentation here: https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/gtagjs

Please note that when there is one or more GTAG ID (G-XXXXXX) and/or GTM IDs (GTM-XXXXXX) installed, the GTAG ID is prioritized. Please follow the steps for using AVA with GTAG ID + GTM ID. See Sending Events to a specific Measurement ID (GA4/GTM).

Commonly the following is setup on sites:

<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=TAG_ID"></script>

If this snippet is already present on your site, add the following configuration block immediately after it:

<script>

window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];

function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}

gtag('js', new Date());

gtag('config', 'TAG_ID');

</script>

Sending Events to a specific Measurement ID (GA4/GTM)

If you have more than one Measurement ID installed on your site and you would like to send events to a specific ID, please use the following script and install it in the <head> of the website. Be sure to add in your widgetId.

Use the send_to event parameter to specify the Measurement ID you want to send events to.

Not sure which widgetId to use? Contact support@autocorp.ai and we would be more than happy to assist.

Code Example:

<script>
  (function() {
    function registerEvents() {
      askAva.events({
        widgetOpened: () => {
         window.gtag('event', 'widget_opened', {
           send_to: '<GTM-XXXXXX or G-XXXXXXX>',
                 // Add your own custom event parameters here
          custom_param: ‘custom_value’
           });
        },
        widgetClosed: () => {
         window.gtag('event', 'widget_closed', {
            send_to: '<GTM-XXXXXX or G-XXXXXXX>',
                // Add your own custom event parameters here
          custom_param: ‘custom_value’
           });
        },
        userEngaged: () => {
         window.gtag('event', 'user_engaged', {
            send_to: '<GTM-XXXXXX or G-XXXXXXX>',
                // Add your own custom event parameters here

        },
        creditToolSubmit: () => {
         window.gtag('event', 'credit_tool_submitted', {
            send_to: '<GTM-XXXXXX or G-XXXXXXX>',
                // Add your own custom event parameters here

        tradeToolSubmit: () => {
         window.gtag('event', 'trade_tool_submitted', {
            send_to: '<GTM-XXXXXX or G-XXXXXXX>',
                // Add your own custom event parameters here
          custom_param: ‘custom_value’
           });
        },
        creditReportReceived: () => {
         window.gtag('event', 'credit_report_received', {
            send_to: '<GTM-XXXXXX or G-XXXXXXX>',
                // Add your own custom event parameters here
          custom_param: ‘custom_value’
           });
        },
        creditAppSubmit: () => {
    window.gtag('event', 'credit_app_submitted', {
            send_to: '<GTM-XXXXXX or G-XXXXXXX>',
                // Add your own custom event parameters here
          custom_param: ‘custom_value’
           });
        },
        partialLeadSubmit: () => {
   window.gtag('event', 'partial_lead_submitted', {
            send_to: '<GTM-XXXXXX or G-XXXXXXX>',
                // Add your own custom event parameters here
          custom_param: ‘custom_value’
           });
        },
      })
    }

    window.askAva = (window.askAva || {});
    window.askAva.onload = registerEvents;

    const sc = document.createElement('script');
    sc.type = "application/javascript";
    sc.src = "https://assets.askava.ai/v2/api.js?widgetId=<widgetId>";
    document.head.appendChild(sc);
  })()
</script>
