How do I get real-time Google Analytics data?
Short answer: You can ga realtime report in Google Analytics by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Google Analytics GA Realtime Report action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Property ID propertyId | string | Required | Property ID |
Metrics metrics | string | Optional | Comma-separated: activeUsers, screenPageViews, conversions |
Sample request
{"propertyId": "{{trigger.propertyId}}","metrics": "{{trigger.metrics}}"}
Returns
{"rows": [{"metricValues": [{"value": "42"}]}],"rowCount": 1}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

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 run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Google Analytics returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does GA Realtime Report support batch operations?
Run GA Realtime Report inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Google Analytics's rate limits.
