Create segments in Google Analytics
After turning on the Google Analytics integration for your experience you will have to create a segment in Google Analytics to use the data.
INFO: To correctly configure the segment, you will need the Event action Id and Event label Id for the Qubit experience you wish to create a segment for. You will find this information in the Google Analytics integration card for your experience.
INFO: To help you easily identify the experience control and variation in third-party integrations such as GA, we provide a method, via your prescript, to send a custom label rather than an Id. See our example for details.
For this article, we will use the following example:

FAQs
Why do we sometimes see very different Conversion Rates between the Qubit dashboard and Google Analytics?
Qubit treats a conversion after a visitor has been exposed to an experience as one influenced by that experience, whether it is immediate or in a later session. So for comparisons, the corresponding Google Analytics (GA) segments must be user-based, not session-based.
The Qubit dashboard bases the Conversion Rate (CR) on the proportion of visitors who subsequently convert. GA has both that CR measure and a rather different ecommerce Conversion Rate, which counts the proportion of sessions in which there is a conversion.
