Connect Google Analytics. Google Analytics shows as connected in ApexGenius.

List the GA4 properties enabled for me. Do not change anything.

Written setup, step by stepShow

Before you start

  • An account with permission to use the Google Analytics resources you intend to connect.

1. Connect Google Analytics to ApexGenius

  1. Open Google Analytics in Connections. Choose Connect, or Add connection when offered. Give the connection a name if prompted. If Gateway setup pending appears, contact ApexGenius support before continuing.
  2. Choose the account and review access. Choose the Google account with access to your GA4 properties. Review the read-only Analytics access requested by Google and return to ApexGenius.
  3. Review the connected account and resources. Find Allowed resources on the connection page or its Tools tab. Choose Refresh and enable only the GA4 properties you want to report on. Resource selection does not add permissions to the Google account.
  4. Check the connection. Use Test connection or Check again and read the reported status. Add an AI agent from the AI agents page, choose Read only for the first test, and try the question below.

What Claude Code can do in Google Analytics

5 operations. Read looks things up and changes nothing. There are no write tools, so Claude Code cannot change Google Analytics through ApexGenius.

Read5 operations

Looks things up. Changes nothing.

Properties

  • google_analytics_list_propertiesList the GA4 properties enabled for you in ApexGenius.
  • google_analytics_admin_getRead a property’s settings, such as its data streams and key events.

Reports

  • google_analytics_run_reportRun a report with the dimensions, metrics and dates you choose.
  • google_analytics_run_realtime_reportRun a realtime report on activity in the last 30 minutes.
  • google_analytics_data_requestCall another read-only Data API endpoint for the property, such as its metadata.

You choose what Claude Code can use

When you approve Claude Code, pick Full access, Read only, or Custom. Read only allows the Read operations and nothing else. Custom picks apps and tools one by one.

Limits in Google Analytics

  • · Only the GA4 properties you enable can be reached, and the Google account’s own Analytics access still applies.
  • · The connection asks Google for read-only Analytics access. No tool can change a property, a report or your data.
  • · Turn a tool off to block calls.
  • · Disconnecting stops future access.

Only the GA4 properties you enable in ApexGenius, within the Google account’s own Analytics access.

Does it work with Universal Analytics?

No. It reads GA4 properties through the Google Analytics Data and Admin APIs.
