And come July 2023, the latter will no longer process data. But while reorienting yourself with new systems is not ideal, GA4 is a big step up from its predecessor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The core reason for this is the shift from a session-based model to an event-based one. With its superior AI capabilities and deeper user insights, marketers can expect improved data analysis and sharper customer targeting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But first, we need to take a closer look at \u2018<strong>events<\/strong>\u2019<strong> in GA4<\/strong> and what it means for the marketing landscape. This article explores all there is to <strong>events in GA4<\/strong> and, most importantly, why the shift.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 ez-toc-wrap-center counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Jump ahead to:<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"#\" data-href=\"https:\/\/easyinsights.ai\/blog\/events-in-ga4-everything-you-need-to-know\/#What_Are_Events_in_GA4\" >What Are Events in GA4?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"#\" data-href=\"https:\/\/easyinsights.ai\/blog\/events-in-ga4-everything-you-need-to-know\/#What_Are_the_Types_of_Events_in_GA4\" >What Are the Types of Events in GA4?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"#\" data-href=\"https:\/\/easyinsights.ai\/blog\/events-in-ga4-everything-you-need-to-know\/#1_Automatically_Collected_Events\" >1.

For starters, events in UA were used to track actions on a page. Now events track every single occurrence that takes place on your app or website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This could be anything from user data to action on your site or app. To put it simply, <em>everything<\/em> is an event in GA4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, you can now measure when a user completes a purchase, opens a page, etc. Further, you\u2019re not limited to customer interactions. You can evaluate your site\u2019s or app\u2019s own efficiency by tracking app crashes and impressions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Events in GA4 may seem familiar. And that\u2019s because they\u2019re an improvement on UA\u2019s \u2018hits.\u2019 These were preconfigured options in UA. In other words, you couldn\u2019t collect specific, custom data from your app or site. You could only collect data and insights if they fell within one of the seven types of hits in UA.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Social Interaction<\/li><li>User Timing<\/li><li>E-commerce<\/li><li>Exception<\/li><li>Pageview<\/li><li>Screen (in case of apps)<\/li><li>Event&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>But this has been effectively tackled by events in GA4. And this is done by dividing events into four broad types.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Types_of_Events_in_GA4\"><\/span><strong>What Are the Types of Events in GA4?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>GA4 brings greater flexibility by offering ability to customize events. Thus, allowing marketers to collect targeted data on their efforts. Nonetheless, it still categorizes events into four types.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Automatically_Collected_Events\"><\/span><strong>1. Automatically Collected Events<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These events will get automatically recorded without any explicit codes. So, when you add the GA4 tag to your site, these events will start getting tracked from the get-go. Standard interactions on your platform trigger them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, \u2018ad_click\u2019 is an automatically collected event in GA4. So, whenever a user clicks on an ad, the event will automatically get recorded with the basic parameters for analysis.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Enhanced_Measurements_Events\"><\/span><strong>2. Enhanced Measurements Events<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are additional events that need to be enabled at the time of setup. They are similar to automatically collected events to the extent that they don\u2019t need any coding or configuration. These are listed with GA4 and are a step ahead of automatically collected events. By enabling this function, you can track,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>File downloads<\/li><li>Scrolls<\/li><li>Outbound clicks<\/li><li>Site search<\/li><li>Video Engagement<\/li><li>Form interactions<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Recommended_Events\"><\/span><strong>3. Recommended Events<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Google provides a list of recommended events in GA4. These are additional events that you could track for deeper insights into your site. Since they need context to be meaningful, they\u2019re not part of the automatically collected or enhanced measurement events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some common events under this type include new sign-ups, purchases, refunds, etc. These are subjective and might not be required by all websites or apps. And so, these need to be set up individually by platforms for customized reports.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Custom_Events\"><\/span><strong>4. Custom Events<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you want to track events that don\u2019t make it to the above three categories, your next step is to create custom events. These events have to be defined and named by you. It\u2019s important to note that the maximum number of events that you can track is 500. Further, the name of each event cannot exceed 40 characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, let\u2019s say you want to track product reviews. For this, you will have to customize an event. That means naming it, specifying the parameter name, and the parameter value. This brings us to our next topic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_Event_Parameters_in_GA4\"><\/span><strong>What Are Event Parameters in GA4?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Parameters are the extra bits of information that are tied to an event. They provide context to the recorded event. GA4 offers automatically collected parameters and custom parameters. As the name suggests, the former is a list of set parameters that are collected for each event. This includes,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Page_title<\/li><li>Page_referrer<\/li><li>Page_location<\/li><li>Screen_resolution<\/li><li>Language<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These are available with automatically collected and enhanced measurement events by default.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Custom parameters, on the other hand, require you to specify the additional information you want for events. These can be text-based or number based. For instance, product_name is a text-based parameter, while product_price is a numeric parameter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By offering additional information on each event, parameters paint a complete picture and help you make data-backed decisions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, GA4 does have certain parameter restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Each event can have a maximum number of 25 parameters<\/li><li>Parameter names cannot exceed 40 characters<\/li><li>Parameter value cannot exceed 100 characters<\/li><li>You can have a maximum of 50 text-based and numerical parameters for each<\/li><li>You can register up to 25 user-scoped parameters<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_and_Modifying_Events_in_GA4\"><\/span><strong>Creating and Modifying  Events in GA4\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As usual with Google, the layout is very intuitive. All you need to do is follow three easy steps, and you\u2019re good to go.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Click_%E2%80%98event_in_the_property_column_Youll_see_something_like_this\"><\/span><strong>Step 1<\/strong>: Click \u2018event\u2019 in the property column.

Dimensions like \u2018user_ID\u2019 and \u2018page_path\u2019 can have multiple unique values, while those such as \u2018Device_category\u2019 might be limited to only three (desktop, tablet, smartphone).
