Getting Started with GA Integration

Note

To Start using Clarity, you must finish the Setup process.

Integrating your Clarity project with Google Analytics (GA) allows Clarity to link session playbacks with your Google Analytics dashboard. Once you identify the sessions you need more information on, jump to GA Dashboard to debug and understand user pain points.

How does Clarity integration work?

Clarity will create a custom dimension called the 'Clarity Playback URL'. Data will start flowing into Google Analytics from the Clarity JavaScript you've added to your site without any more changes.

Note

Not all sessions will have a playback URL. Clarity saves your users' bandwidth by only uploading full-fidelity playbacks for a subset of page views.

Here are the steps to integrate Google Analytics into Clarity.
