Okendo’s integration with Universal Analytics (UA) allows you to send event data to Google Analytics, specifically Universal Analytics. This will help you gain direct insights into the impact of customer-generated content and reviews on key metrics such as conversion rates, average order values, and revenue by setting up Okendo to integrate with Google Analytics. Okendo makes use of this integration to track your reviews widget interaction events on your site and collect those events in UA.
ℹ️ Note: Universal Analytics will no longer process new data as of July 1, 2023. If you haven’t already, you should prepare to switch over to Google Analytics 4.
You can capture Okendo events in Google Analytics 4 by following either our Google Tag Manager integration guide or our Global Site Tag integration guide.
