This is immediately useful to my clients and I, but...

1. I want to add GA as a datasource but I'm stuck on unique page views and can't seem to change anything outside of the date range

2. The help center article on GA has a broken link: https://help.equals.app/en/articles/6584898-add-a-google-ana...

3. The UX is a bit unclear and the upgrade path isn't straightforwardly accessible for a free user in the workflow.

I'm glad you launched and I'm looking forward to using it. Hit me up if you need more feedback.

Damn sorry about the broken link will fix that.

GA datasource is most primitive today, only supports unique pageviews. An expanded one is being built currently, will be out in a few weeks.

Could you share a bit more on #3?

#3 was more driven by my frustration with GA. It wasn't clear if GA is limited as a datasource or feature limited by free/paid tier.

I'd suggest removing GA from the site as a feature or calling out the current limitations more clearly. While I could go get data out of BigQuery, that's more of a lift and the ease of using this to import GA for clients is a major draw.

Thanks for the quick response and I'm looking forward to using it more.

Ah got it - yeah our free plan is very generous. Only limitations are 3 editors, scheduled queries, and saved queries. It can do everything else. Keep an eye out for updated GA in next few weeks.
