How can I create custom analytics in FlutterFlow?

Step 1: Create a new FlutterFlow project

Creating a FlutterFlow project is the first step towards custom analytics. Go to the FlutterFlow website. If you don't have an account already, create one using your preferred email address. Once you're logged in, click on the "New Project" button. Enter your project's details, such as its name and description. Then click "Create".

Step 2: Design your application

In this step, we'll design your Flutter app. To do this, navigate to the 'Design' tab in FlutterFlow. Here, you can use the drag-and-drop interface to design the user interface of your application. FlutterFlow gives you the ability to customize the design details of your app to suit your preferences. You can choose to add images, buttons, text fields, and many more onto the canvas.

Remember, the actions users take on these elements are what will trigger the analytics events.

Step 3: Install Google Analytics in your project

This step involves integrating Google Analytics into your FlutterFlow project. On the left sidebar, click on the "Integrations" tab. Here, you will see a list of various services that you can integrate with your FlutterFlow project. Look for Google Analytics and click "Add".

You will then need to provide your Google Analytics account details. If you don't have a Google Analytics account, navigate to the Google Analytics website and sign up for a new account. Once you have the account setup, go back to FlutterFlow and input the required details.

Step 4: Add your Google Analytics tracking ID

Next, you need to add your Google Analytics Tracking ID to FlutterFlow. This can be found in your Google Analytics account. Once you log into your account, go to Admin, then in the "Property" column, click "Tracking Info", then "Tracking Code". You will see your Tracking ID.

Copy the Tracking ID, then go back to FlutterFlow and paste it into the "Google Analytics ID" field. Click "Save".

Step 5: Set up custom analytics events

After successfully integrating Google Analytics with your FlutterFlow project, you will now set up your custom analytics events. An event can be anything that happens in your app. For example, a button click, application open, page view, and many more.

To define an event, open the "Actions" tab of the button or element that triggers the event. Add a new action and select "Google Analytics Event". In the "Event Category" field, enter your chosen category. For the "Event Action" field, enter the name of the action. You can also optionally add "Event Label" and "Event Value". Finally, click "Add" and then "Save".

Step 6: Publish your app

Now that you have set up your custom analytics in FlutterFlow, it's time to publish your app. Click on the "Publish" tab on the left sidebar, then click "Publish Now". FlutterFlow will build your project into a fully functioning Flutter app.

After the build process is complete, you can download the final APK for Android devices or the IPA for iOS devices. After users download and start using your app, you will be able to see the analytics data in your Google Analytics dashboard.

Note: App must be published and installed on a device for Google Analytics data to be tracked and visible.

Step 7: Viewing the custom analytics

To view your custom analytics, go to your Google Analytics account. Select the account and property for your FlutterFlow app to access your analytics reports. You can then view how users are interacting with your application, which buttons they're clicking, how much time they spend on it, among other activities. Remember, the data will only be available once users start using your application.

You now know how to create custom analytics in FlutterFlow. Happy tracking!
