Complement your Google Analytics data with real-time, user-level mobile engagement data from Airship. This integration enables a complete view of the user experience by combining Google Analytics data with user-specific interactions such as push sends, direct app opens, and uninstalls.
This integration uses our ID Matching feature. Once you’ve implemented the ID Match between a user’s Google Analytics CID and the user’s Airship Channel ID, Real-Time Data Streaming can report events directly to Google Analytics about that user. From there, you can create segments within Google Analytics to track mobile engagement behavior.
This integration was built to support Google Analytics For Mobile. Google is sunsetting that product July 1, 2023, in favor of Firebase Analytics. Firebase Analytics is not currently supported.
