How do I update Google Analytics session data using Measurement Protocol without creating a new session -
question: how can assure visitor's original session updated/attributed new goal triggered using measurement protocol, if trigger happens after original session window has expired?
problem in detail:
i capturing cid _ga cookie when visitor reaches site , makes contact via form
i use measurement protocol captured cid send data google analytics trigger goal "client registered" if visitor later registers services.
- if happens within 4 hour session window of visitor's first visit site, session created first visit attributed goal.
- however, if send data google analytics after 4 hour session window, google analytics sees measurement protocol hit new session , creates new session goal attributed. want original session show new goal value.
i believe following stackoverflow question related, has no answers posted:
"google analytics measurement protocol session timeout , query time limits"
nope, not possible, can make hit non-interactive. can found in parameter reference; https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/protocol/v1/parameters#ni testing did found out ga looks @ goal date can't changed.
