Changing from existing Google Analytics to GA4

• If you are changing from your current Google Analytics (Universal Analytics, hereafter UA) to Google Analytics 4 (GA4), you need to modify the <snf:analytics> description in SmartFormat.
• If the GA4 ID is G-XXXXXXXX, and the URL of the article subject to page views is https://exsample.com/news/12345

<snf:analytics ><![CDATA[
    <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-XXXXXXXX"></script>
    <script>
        window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
        function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
        gtag('js', new Date());

        gtag('config', 'G-XXXXXXXX',{'page_path':'/news/12345',
        'page_referrer':'http://www.smartnews.com/',
         'campaign_source':'SmartNews',
        'campaign_medium':'app'
        });
    </script>
    ]]>
</snf:analytics>

In this case, when the article is viewed on SmartNews, the following information will be sent to the GA4 event page_view. Please modify as appropriate to match your own measurement.

page_path
         /news/12345
page_referrer
 　　http://www.smartnews.com/
source
        SmartNews
medium
        app

Using existing GA (UA) and GA4 simultaneously

• If the GA4 ID is G-XXXXXXXX, the UA ID is UA-YYYYYYYY-Z, and the URL of the article subject to page views is https://exsample.com/news/12345

<snf:analytics ><![CDATA[
    <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-XXXXXXXX"></script>
    <script>
        window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
        function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
        gtag('js', new Date());


        gtag('config', 'G-XXXXXXXX',{
            'page_path':'/news/12345',
            'page_referrer':'http://www.smartnews.com/',
            'campaign_source':'SmartNews',
            'campaign_medium':'app'
        });
        gtag('config', 'UA-YYYYYYYY-Z',{
            'page_path':'/news/12345',
            'page_referrer':'http://www.smartnews.com/'
        });
</script >
    ]]></snf:analytics>
