How to track your website traffic from your Flectra Dashboard¶

You can follow your traffic statistics straight from your Flectra Website Dashboard thanks to Google Analytics.

A preliminary step is creating a Google Analytics account and entering the tracking ID in your Website’s settings (see How to track your website’s traffic in Google Analytics).
Go to Google APIs platform to generate Analytics API credentials. Log in with your Google account.
Select Analytics API.

Create a new project and give it a name (e.g. Flectra). This project is needed to store your API credentials.

Select Web browser (Javascript) as calling source and User data as kind of data.

Then you can create a Client ID. Enter the name of the application (e.g. Flectra) and the allowed pages on which you will be redirected. The Authorized JavaScript origin is your Flectra’s instance URL. The Authorized redirect URI is your Flectra’s instance URL followed by ‘/google_account/authentication’.

Go through the Consent Screen step by entering a product name (e.g. Google Analytics in Flectra). Feel free to check the customizations options but this is not mandatory. The Consent Screen will only show up when you enter the Client ID in Flectra for the first time.
Finally you are provided with your Client ID. Copy and paste it in Flectra.

Open your Website Dashboard in Flectra and link your Analytics account to past your Client ID.

As a last step, authorize Flectra to access Google API.
