Hi I started to explore GrowthBook and have set up a few experiments but having a problem getting Metrics tracking with GA and BigQuery. The experiment is running on a sales page, and currently tracking click through checkout page with many other events as backup. (screenshot 1) Showing
cta_click
event
add_to_cart_click
events firing on the sales page where I am running the experiment. These events are fired after
experiment_viewed
event. (screenshot 2) Traffic is split into control and variation and I can see the data on GrowthBook. I have set metrics for visit to certain checkout url seeing. But seeing 0 conversion on GrowthBook even if in GA it says there are events to those pages directly followed by
expreiment_viewed
(screenshot 3) When I check other events on GA result only shown when I filter with
indirectly followed
. Odd as it’s followed by
expreiment_viewed
event… What am I missing here? Been trying about a week and as I need to wait for GA data to be pulled to BigQuery, it’s been hard to debug quickly.

is this GTM?
Are you able to see any data on the fact tables/metrics?

Yeh, this is my cta_click event
I think my page_view event is not set up correctly even in GA. I see no page_view event on my sales page or checkout page, but I get Page Views from GA… so something missing here which I will need to follow up separately (but I thought
page_view
kinda configures automatically…), Though,
cta_click
event looks like should work?

if you're familiar with SQL you can run the query in BigQuery
and see whats up
it might be a date range or a conversion window thing

I am just firing experiment_viewed event with simple GA dataLayer js
Copy code
dataLayer.push({
    'event' : 'experiment_viewed',
    'experiment_id': experiment_id,
    'variation_id': variation_id
});
Do you think I will need to move to fire via tag manager? cta_click is fired from CTM… I was just testing around so bypassed the GTM…
As, I am having problem getting metrics data tracked via BigQuery in Starter plan. If I upgrade to Pro utilising Managed Warehouse, will that mean I won’t need to sync BigQuery instead database to collect conversion data will be stored on GrowthBook? I am on starter plan only as I am testing around, but if it all sync and work well I am happy to move to Pro or Enterprise too if required.
