Analytics
AI agent for Google Analytics: cross-channel analytics without spreadsheets
TL;DR
The agent reads Google Analytics reporting data — traffic, conversions, funnels, channel and landing-page breakdowns — on demand from a plain-language question, so you skip building the same Explore report every week. It can also mark converting events as Key Events and build audiences for remarketing, both gated behind approval since they change how Google Analytics measures and how Ads targets.
Connecting it, and what it asks for
- 1Open Integrations and click Connect on the Google Analytics card.
- 2Sign in with a Google account that has access to the properties you want.
- 3Select the property in the context picker before writing a goal.
The authorization asks for
analytics.readonly for reads. Turning on Google Analytics writes re-authorizes with a wider set, and a re-connect REPLACES the stored token rather than adding to it. A first goal worth typing: Compare last month against the one before by channel, and tell me what actually changed.What the agent does with Google Analytics
- Runs ad-hoc reports — traffic, conversions, funnels, channel and landing-page breakdowns — from a plain-language question.
- Cross-references Google Analytics conversions with Google Ads spend for a truer channel-level ROAS view.
- Marks events as Key Events (Google Analytics' conversion designation) — a write, approval-gated.
- Builds audiences for remarketing into Google Ads — a write, approval-gated.
- Manages property settings: custom channel groups (create, edit, delete), web data streams, the Google Ads link, data retention, custom dimensions and metrics, and the property's name, time zone and currency — each a write, approval-gated.
Real use cases
| Goal you'd type | What the agent does |
|---|---|
| "Give me a weekly funnel report — landing page → add-to-cart → purchase — by channel." | Builds the funnel breakdown on demand instead of you rebuilding an Explore report by hand. |
| "Which channels actually drove revenue last month, not just sessions?" | Pulls Google Analytics conversion/revenue data by channel and flags channels with high traffic but low conversion. |
| "Build a remarketing audience of cart-abandoners from the last 14 days and hand it to Google Ads." | Creates the Google Analytics audience and proposes wiring it into a Google Ads remarketing campaign — both writes, gated. |
| "Mark 'newsletter_signup' as a Key Event — we want it counted as a conversion." | Proposes the Key Event designation; applies once you approve. |
Guardrails
- Reporting is read-only and runs instantly — nothing about your Google Analytics property changes just by asking a question.
- Key Event and audience changes are writes and pause for approval, since they change measurement and targeting.

Frequently asked questions
- Can the agent change my Google Analytics property configuration?
- Yes, through the Google Analytics Admin API, and every change pauses for your approval unless you turn on auto-approve: key events, audiences, custom dimensions and metrics, custom channel groups, event create rules, enhanced measurement, attribution settings, web data streams, the Google Ads link, data retention, annotations and the property's name, time zone and currency. Deleting a channel group or a key event, unlinking Google Ads, changing attribution and shortening data retention always wait for you. Reporting itself is read-only.
- Can it set up internal-traffic filters or referral exclusions?
- No. Google's Admin API has no endpoint for data filters (internal or developer traffic), unwanted referrals, cross-domain measurement or IP exclusion, so the agent tells you where to set them in Google Analytics Admin instead of pretending.
- Can it combine Google Analytics data with Google Ads spend?
- Yes — that's one of the more common goals: joining Google Analytics conversions/revenue with Ads cost to see channel-level performance the platforms don't show you individually.
- Do I need to build the report myself first?
- No — describe what you want to know in plain language and the agent builds the underlying report.
