Stape User ID to GA4

Server Google Analytics
1

Hi all,

I’m trying to send the user id generated by stape to GA4 through server-side. When I check the incoming request on GTM preview, I see that X-Stape-User-Id is generated. However, when I look at the debug view on GA4, it is not possible to see this id. How can I be sure that it’s working? I also want to create a custom dimension on GA4 to see the data at user-id breakdown in explore reporting, is it possible?

Hello,
I think you should manually retrieve the value of X-Stape-User-Id using native Request header variable and then add it to the GA4 tag payload.

I tried this with a variable but still dont see it in debug view.

I have activated the power up, i see the user-id in der request to and so on. i added it in ga4 tag on event side and user side but nothing changed. i dont see it in debug view anyway

if you did everything correctly, user ID should be shown in a separate User Properties section on the right and as a separate activity in the events flow

Thanks yes i know, but that didnt happen. To be sure.

  • I activated the power up
  • I have the request header done and can see the value in the variable
  • I added in in server side gtm as event parameter

anything else?

Thanks

Hi @Daniel-NF,

You should not place it as event parameter, it should be placed as a new row under User Properties.

Thank you. This is what I was looking for.

But stape user id will change if device is changed. So no point to send it to GA4. Because it’s not consistent.
