Connector Improvement: Selection of specific datasets for GA4 export

Answered
Phoebe Donald User

Hi there, We would like to be able to pick and choose which Google Analytics 4 dataset to import into Snowflake. For example, bring in the events_ (full daily export) or events_fresh_ (fresh daily export available to Premium customers). We do not need the events_inraday_ dataset yet as we are not interested in real time reports. Thanks

    Hi Phoebe,

    Thanks for submitting this feature request.

    You can accomplish this by disabling the intraday event stream in Google Analytics 4. Our connector checks whether that table exists during each sync. If it does not, we skip it. So if you disable the stream in Google Analytics, the connector will not sync the events_intraday_dataset.

    You can do this by going to Admin > Product links > BigQuery links and opening the link used for your Fivetran connector. Then deselect the checkbox "Streaming (best-effort)":

    Thanks @Lucas Alexander. Your comment is a reasonable solution to Pheobe's request.

    However, for organizations that want to keep their GA4 streaming/intraday tables running in BigQuery but do not want Fivetran to include it with the normal daily events table (thereby doubling our MARs), could we not have an option in the connector setup that allows the user to decide whether to include it? For example, a new "Sync Options" area of the setup:

    Reading this month's release notes, Fivetran just implemented this suggestion!
