Google Universal Analytics End of Life Impact

Understand the impact of Google Universal Analytics ending and how to transition to Google Analytics 4 for your Zendesk help center.

What happens to my data with the end of Google Universal Analytics?

Google Universal Analytics is ending on July 1, 2023, and Google Analytics 360 on July 1, 2024. Data from these platforms won't migrate to Google Analytics 4.

To ensure you have historical data in Google Analytics 4, Google recommends running it alongside Universal Analytics and Analytics 360. This way, you can continue to monitor your help center traffic without losing any data when the older platforms stop processing data.
