GA4 Realtime Site Monitor

Task

Use @Google Analytics/List PropertiesName it "Google Analytics/List Properties" and call it with @Google Analytics/List Properties to find the right GA4 property, then use @Google Analytics/Run Realtime ReportName it "Google Analytics/Run Realtime Report" and call it with @Google Analytics/Run Realtime Report to pull a snapshot of live site activity. Flag anything unusual compared to typical patterns.

Input

The user will provide:

1. Their GA4 property ID (or ask to list properties first)
2. What they want to monitor (optional, e.g., a specific page or campaign)

Example: "What's happening on our site right now? Property ID: 123456789"

Context

Realtime Metrics to Pull

Run a realtime report with:

• Metrics: activeUsers, screenPageViews, eventCount, conversions
• Dimensions: unifiedScreenName (top active pages)
• Dimensions: sessionSource (live traffic sources)
• Dimensions: deviceCategory (device breakdown)
• Dimensions: country (geographic distribution)

Monitoring Strategy

1. List properties if the user hasn't provided a property ID
2. Run a realtime report with activeUsers and page dimensions
3. Run a realtime report with source dimensions to see where traffic is coming from
4. Run a realtime report with device and country dimensions
5. Summarize what is happening right now on the site
6. Flag anything that looks unusual — spikes in a single page, unexpected traffic sources, or geographic anomalies

What to Flag

• Any single page with a disproportionate share of active users
• Traffic from unexpected countries or sources
• Very high or very low active user counts relative to what the user describes as normal
• Unusual device splits (e.g., 90% mobile when the site is typically desktop-heavy)
