FAQ

Questions about GA Realtime Report.

What does the GA Realtime Report action do in Google Analytics?

Returns the last 30 minutes of activity from GA's real-time data layer. GA4-only since UA was sunset. For "what's happening on the site right now" dashboards and anomaly-detection workflows.

What inputs does GA Realtime Report require?

Required: Property ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Google Analytics returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does GA Realtime Report support batch operations?

Yes. Run GA Realtime Report inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Google Analytics's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
