Does anyone uses the User-ID feature from GA4 to better track Gainsight users? Can someone guide me on how to configure it?

User-ID feature from GA4
Best answer by olimarrio
Hi
You could either:
- Use the inSidedData object to obtain the user ID of the logged in user and then this could be used as a unique ID.
- As the inSidedData object does not contain the email address (only has the user ID) then you could perhaps maybe capture the email address when the user logs in and then set it as a cookie value (so that it can be loaded on every community page afterwards).
Both would require custom JavaScript to be able to achieve this.
Number 1 would be the most logical and least error prone option but it would require more effort to set up as you’d need to map the User IDs on Gainsight CC to the user in GA4, as documented here:

This is not something I personally have explored. I will ask around the CS Team if they have any customers doing the like.
That would be great

Thank you for your response
+5Happy this is useful
Follow up question: can GA4 be tracked using Tag Manager? Trying to find the easiest solution since creating custom Javascript is out of my skillset and available resources. Thank you.
