# Google Analytics 4 Setup

The existing workflow action for Google Analytics in the our software system includes both Google Analytics 4 and Universal Analytics, which means that users can choose to use either platform or both to track their marketing campaigns and website traffic. This provides a more flexible and integrated approach to tracking and analyzing user behavior, which can help businesses make data-driven decisions to improve their marketing strategies and user experience.

### **Create or use an existing Google Analytics Workflow**

In your Google Analytics Workflow, select the action 'Add to Google Analytics.'

A new dropdown value under 'Action Type' has been introduced by the name 'Google Analytics 4'; select this from the dropdown.
