Overview

Combining Supabase with Google Analytics lets you track and analyze user interactions more efficiently. Supabase, known for its real-time databases and authentication, pairs well with Google Analytics, which delivers robust tools for monitoring website and app usage. You'll usually start by setting up event tracking in Supabase. This event tracking triggers data collection in Google Analytics. You need to configure both platforms so they can talk to each other. They will exchange data using APIs or webhooks, ensuring user actions in a Supabase-powered app accurately appear in Google Analytics reports.

How to integrate Supabase with Google Analytics?

Step 1: Set Up Google Analytics

  1. Log in to Google Analytics.
  2. Click on "Admin" at the bottom-left corner.
  3. In the "Account" column, pick an account from the menu.
  4. In the "Property" column, choose a property from the menu.
  5. Click on "Tracking Info" and then "Tracking Code."
  6. Copy the Tracking ID (looks like UA-XXXXXXXXX-X).

Step 2: Create a New Project in Supabase

  1. Log in to the Supabase dashboard.
  2. Click on "New Project."
  3. Fill in the required details (project name, database password, etc.).
  4. Click "Create New Project."

Step 3: Set Up Supabase Client in Your Project

  1. Install Supabase client via npm:
    ```bash
    npm install @supabase/supabase-js
    
    ```
  2. Import and initialize Supabase in your application:
    ```javascript
    import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
    
    const supabaseUrl = 'https://xyzcompany.supabase.co'
    const supabaseKey = 'public-anon-key'
    const supabase = createClient(supabaseUrl, supabaseKey)
    
<div style="color:#0065ff"><h3>Step 4: Set Up Google Analytics in Your Application</h3></div>

1. Add Google Analytics to your project:
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-XXXXXXXXX-X"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', 'UA-XXXXXXXXX-X');
</script>
1. Replace `UA-XXXXXXXXX-X` with your actual Google Analytics Tracking ID.

<div style="color:#0065ff"><h3>Step 5: Track Events from Supabase to Google Analytics</h3></div>

1. Define the event you want to track using Supabase hooks or listeners. For example:
const trackEvent = (eventCategory, eventAction, eventLabel) => {
  if (window.gtag) {
    gtag('event', eventAction, {
      'event_category': eventCategory,
      'event_label': eventLabel
    });
  }
};
1. Integrate this function with Supabase actions, such as user sign-up:
const signUpUser = async (email, password) => {
  const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signUp({
    email: email,
    password: password
  });

  if (data) {
    trackEvent('User', 'Sign Up', email);
  }

  if (error) {
    console.log(error.message);
  }
};
<div style="color:#0065ff"><h3>Step 6: Verify in Google Analytics</h3></div>

1. Go back to your Google Analytics dashboard.
2. Navigate to "Real-Time" > "Events" to ensure the events are being recorded.
3. Use the reporting tools to analyze the data coming from Supabase events.

This process integrates Google Analytics with Supabase, enabling event tracking and user behavior analysis effectively.
