In this comprehensive tutorial, we will guide you through the process of setting up Whatagraph to work seamlessly with Google Analytics and AI tools. This setup allows for enhanced data visualization, automation, and insights, making your digital marketing efforts more effective.

Step 1: Connecting Google Analytics to Whatagraph

Begin by logging into your Whatagraph dashboard. Navigate to the integrations section and select Google Analytics. Click on "Connect" to initiate the OAuth process.

Authorize Whatagraph to access your Google Analytics data by signing into your Google account and granting the necessary permissions.

Once connected, select the specific Google Analytics account, property, and view you wish to include in your reports.

For example, set up a script that fetches the latest report data from Whatagraph and sends a summarized analysis to your team via email or Slack.

Step 4: Embedding Reports and Sharing Insights

Export your reports as PDFs or embed them directly into your website or dashboard. Use the sharing options within Whatagraph to distribute reports to stakeholders.
