Hi , I am firing some growthbook events to Google Analytics . But when I look at the event counts of viewed_experiment it doesn’t get matched with the count of first time users that have visited my page . Any possible reason why that has happened?
Any possible reasons why that has happened?
@fresh-football-47124
Also please note my landing page has a huge number of user visits. So any possibility growthbook end point doesn’t get fired for every users @fresh-football-47124
f
it will get fired for every user included in the experiment
so its possible, depending on the targeting rules, and how you have the SDK implemented, that people won’t be included
r
I am having 100 percent rollout for every user
f
are you using GA UA or GA4?
r
I am using ga4
f
which count is higher?
r
Also I have multiple analytics tool integrated , same issue I can find there also . Number of first time users and growthbook event doesn’t match
Page visits are higher
f
higher in GrowthBook or GA?
r
Higher in ga
f
we unique the users - is it possible that GA is showing the total count, rather than the unique users?
r
No I have verified that
Landing page first time user visits is 1400 and viewed experiment has been fired only 500 times
f
what SDK are you using?
r
Even for today the page visit with first time user is 144 and my viewed experiment is fired only 83 times
@fresh-football-47124
Or maybe can you show me how to implement this in vanilla js or jquery
f
can you share the implementation?
what SDK are you using? JS I assume?
r
Yes sure
Yes js
This is the implement @fresh-football-47124
I believe this is how you used to implement in the past until the new doc arrived recently @fresh-football-47124
f
whats is in allCookies?
r
It’s the document.cookie
f
yes, I know
r
Basically that’s what we give as a unique id
Do you need more clarification?
@fresh-football-47124
f
yes
console log the allCookies
and share an example of it
r
Yes 👍

It looks like this @fresh-football-47124
It’s different for each users
f
ya… that’s not really how you should be using it
you want to make sure it doesn’t change for the same user, and with that many variables, I’m guessing it will - which may cause double exposures
double exposures are filtered out
r
But the first user visit is around 1400 so that technically means 1400 times viewed experiment should also be fired right ?
@fresh-football-47124
f
yes
you can query the db directly to see how many raw events were fired
the numbers in GrowthBook will be filtered by date, filter out multiple exposed users, etc.
r
We did the same and it was noted that for some users the experiment was not fired
And for some users it was fired
@fresh-football-47124 does it have something to do with the new implementation methods that you have provided in you docs
f
we just gave some examples- but the fundamentals of how the SDK works has not changed.
first step is to add some more debugging on the failure modes - you’re console.log’ing them, but you won’t see
second - change that allCookies thing to just store the user_id
and use that ID also for GrowthBook
r
The problem is that we are not able to find when exactly does the reading doesn’t happen . Not able to figure that out yet .
Also this is a public landing page . And we don’t have a user id since we have an anonymous visitors
f
you can make one
and store it in a cookie or localstorage
I’m guessing its the allCookies
if that is null
users won’t be bucketed
so there will be a race condition there for new users
r
@fresh-football-47124 but don’t you think there is no chance the cookie will return a null value
