Google Analytics 4 Plugin for Construct 3
A downloadable tool
Google Analytics 4 plugin for Construct 3 allows you to track your game visits and events using the latest Google Analytics version. This plugin is an upgrade to my popular free plugin Handy Utilities which uses universal analytics. Google has leveraged several new metrics and dashboards that provide more insights of your applications with the usage of GA4. This plugin activates the functionality with no technical knowledge required, however, you will need to set up your GA4 account to be able to have the GTAG ID required for the plugin to work. Although Universal Analytics won't be retired any soon, it's always healthy to migrate to the latest version and take advantage of all its new features.
The plugin uses an external-dependency file that you should consider. The GA4 service requires the Google API gtag.js, therefore the plugin always requires an internet connection to be able to work properly.
Demo
This plugin comes with a Demo to make it easier for you to understand its functionality, and ACEs are also fully documented on the official help website.

Does this plugin still work with Construct 3? just wanted to check before I bought it. Also how hard is it to get set up, I know my way around this stuff pretty good, but any documentation would be great too :)
The plugin is only for Construct 3. The setup is really easy, you just need the GA Id and that's it, you will be able to send events. The documentation can be found by clicking on the big yellow button that says "documentation" in the plugin page. Beware that if your GA property is new, the analytics data will take up to 48hrs to be reflected. GA won't reflect the events immediatelly, thats how GA works, but you can use the real-time dashboard in your GA console to see how's using your app at that time.
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly :) I'm going to buy it. Just one quick question so I understand, so basically with this it would let me track through GA what events may or may not be triggered by a player? For example if someone beats the game, I could set the GA to report that event that trigger inside of construct?
Actually all the events are custom, that means you define what to send as an event. It's basically a string that's logged into your GA console. Later, you can build your own reports in the GA console and explore it in as many forms as you need.
