Data sync mechanisms

Supported data synchronization mechanisms¶

The Google Analytics Universal connector supports a single mode of data synchronization. This is an incremental data synchronization based on a fixed window of one day back from the time when the data extraction pipeline is triggered.

This means, that, every time the data extraction pipeline runs, the API call will fetch the data from Google Analytics Universal from the last day. This behaviour makes a daily trigger the recommended approach to avoid losing any data.

Because the Google Analytics reporting data is delivered in a cube, to change this report, it is required that you create a new Data Intake Process for the updated version of the Google Analytics report.

You can see more details about how Sidra Data Intakes and how plugin works and a setup guide in the Sidra Core documentation.
