Google Analytics

Twixl Support Team Updated: - Created :

    To allow your app to send data to Google Analytics, follow these steps:

    In Google Firebase

    1. Get started by creating a project
      - Go to       https://console.firebase.google.com/ > Sign in with a Google Account
      - Create a Project > Enter a Project Name (e.g. the name of your app)
      - Choose a Project ID or accept the proposed one.
      You can also select an existing Project to setup Firebase for.
    2. For Android apps: Generate your Google Services JSON file
      - In Project Overview > Project Settings > General > Add app > Android icon
      - Fill in the Android package name* > optionally specify an App nickname > Click Register
      - Download the google-services.json file > Save the file to your device

      *  An Android package name is a reverse DNS name like com.mycompany.appname.
    3. For iOS apps: Generate your Google Services Info file
      - In Project Overview > Project Settings > General > Add app > iOS icon
      - Fill in the Apple Bundle ID** > optionally specify an app nickname > Click Register
      - Download the GoogleService-Info.plist file > Save the file to your device

      ** An Apple Bundle ID corresponds to the Bundle ID in the build settings which is a reverse DNS name like com.mycompany.appname
    4. For the Browser Client: Get the config
      - In Project Overview > Project Settings > General > Add app > code icon
      - Fill in a name for the project > Click Register
      - Go to Project Overview > Project Settings > General > Select the webapp project > Config > Copy icon
    5. Integrate Google Analytics in Firebase Project
      - Go to Project Overview > Gear icon       > Project Settings > Select 'Integrations' > Google Analytics > Select 'Enable'

    On the Twixl platform

    Once you have finished the previous steps, upload the files to the Twixl platform.

    1. For analytics about the app usage:
      - Go to Build > Build Settings > Select your Build Setting
      - In 'Push Notifications and Google Analytics' > Upload the saved google-services.json and/or GoogleService-Info.plist file(s)
    1. For analytics about the browser client usage:
      - Go to Advanced > Browser Client > Promotion & Analytics > Paste the Config from Step 5 above

    After you have setup Google Analytics, you'll need to update your app by creating a new build with the latest Twixl version to start gathering data. Only then the project in Google Analytics will start to collect analytics data.
