Learn how to integrate Google Analytics to Adobe InDesign

[@MichelePilli]

Any idea why in my GA data stream there is a red box saying: "Data collection isn't active for your website. If you installed tags more than 48 hours ago, make sure they are set up correctly." ?? Suggestions?

[@ElizabethHalpern1]

I have this same question. Where do I need to install tags????

@@ElizabethHalpern1 I have the same question! Do you have any answer? @AngeloMontilla ?

[@WebMaster-ss8gi]

Really nice video good job. Does the analytics send details on the pages ?

[@typoholic]

Perfect. Exactly what I needed to know… without getting into Google Analytics too much. Thank you.

[@AngeloMontilla]

Great to hear!

How do you go about tagging and fixing this warning? - "Data collection isn't active for your website. If you installed tags more than 48 hours ago, make sure they are set up correctly."

[@JuliaMorris-b3y]

Thanks Angelo, really helpful. Are you seeing 'clicks' (outbound clicks) events appear in GA for link clicks taken (to external websites) within the document? I'm not seeing this data pull through, despite having outbound links within my document - it's only views and user data I'm seeing recorded.

[@AngeloMontilla]

Good question. I haven't looked into that yet, but I'll share any data if I come across. Now you have me wondering 🤔 Thanks for the question!

[@pauloferreira1426]

Hi, Angelo. Nice video, thanks for the content! Unfortunately publish online documents can't be tracked by page, clicked buttons as we can only hitch one Measurement ID per document, right?

[@AngeloMontilla]

Hi Paulo! I believe you are able to track behaviours within a document. However, analytics aren't tracked by individual page, rather by the document itself. Does that make sense?

Thank U Sir... really a good tutorials.. God bless U.. I am Pinaki from India

[@AngeloMontilla]

Thanks! 😊

[@nancyt9161]

Thank you. If I like to know the data of each of my file, should I create the MEASUREMENT ID for each of them?

[@AngeloMontilla]

Hi Nancy! Yes, your measurement ID should be applied to the published documents you want to track with Google Analytics. I am hoping there's a more streamlined process moving forward. But for now, that's how you have to track analytics.

Hi Angelo, Great Help, Also pls share the Link for creating this Bellvue Academic Handbook Digital Brochure.

[@AngeloMontilla]

Sorry I don't have a tut on how to create that document. However, I have many on my channel covering those topics. Thanks! 🙂

Angelo - great vid! Question: How did you handle the installing of tags when you created a stream in G.A.? I get to the choose your platform area but Adobe not there and not sure where I'd paste the HTML. Looking to solve: "Data collection isn't active for your website. If you installed tags more than 48 hours ago, make sure they are set up correctly." I've ignored it and see I'm getting some data - not like what I see in your vid tho. Thx! David

[@DavidgpdBlayneygpd]

@AngeloMontilla - hi again! At account setup I choose "Examine user behavior" . . . maybe I should have chosen "Get baseline reports" in the Choose your business objectives popup . . . maybe I chose the wrong setting and am asked to install tags? Maybe unrelated.

[@DavidgpdBlayneygpd]

Just to close the circle - I'm seeing all kinds of data now in G.A. Tags not installed must not be a big deal. 👍

[@AlexWaite]

Was this workaround right for you? I'm at the same stage now where it's asking me to "Install using a platform".

[@MichelePilli]

@@DavidgpdBlayneygpd Did you fix this issue? I am facing the same problem. Can you help me understand how did you fix this?

[@skwok127]

Hi Angelo - If I created multiple docs via online publishing, how should I handle that URL (Adobe hosted URL)? Granted I want to track the docs individually. Any suggestions? Thank you 😊

[@AngeloMontilla]

When you create the GA account, use indd.adobe.com/ as the URL you are tracking for your published docs. However, you'll have to paste the Measurement ID each time you want to track a certain project. So keep that ID handy or copy it from the method I showed here. Take care!

[@skwok127]

@@AngeloMontilla Thank you for your prompt response!

@@AngeloMontilla Could you create a new stream for each doc and use the newly generated ID Code?

Is it possible to create the url by myself? I don't want Adobe to be in the url. And I would like to host the interactive PDF on my own server. Can you help me? Thank you :)

[@DerekC10001]

Publish Online documents are in HTML5 format and they can only be hosted on Adobe's servers. You can enable the document so that the reader can download a (static) PDF version.

[@AngeloMontilla]

Hey there. If you want to host the URL on your own site and not use Adobe's server, then you'll have to export as HTML. Just keep in mind this is not a plug-and-play approach. What you see in your layout won't translate when you export to HTML. You'll have to hand off the assets to a developer to tailor the design for your site. But Derek is also correct, you can't host a PDF online. You can have it as an option for people to download from your site, or when you Publish Online with Adobe. Hope that answers your question.
