*'''Data Sending Method''' - choose how the data is sent to Google Analytics. You can either send API requests immediately or use the cron queue system, potentially reducing the load on WHMCS.<br/> The cron itself can be found in the [[#Queue|Queue]] tab.

*'''Conversion ID''' - a unique identifier assigned to a specific conversion action in Google Ads. It tracks and reports activities that lead to achieving conversion goals, such as purchases, sign-ups, or other valuable interactions.<br/> You can find it in the conversion settings in Google Ads. Copy it and paste it with the ''' 'AW-' prefix'''! Otherwise, an error will occur. More information on how to find it in the [[#Tips|Tips]] section.
 +
*'''Conversion Label''' - a unique tag assigned to a specific conversion action in Google Ads. It allows for more detailed categorization and tracking of different types of conversions, such as various products or services.<br/> You can configure it in the conversion settings in Google Ads to better understand the effectiveness of your ad campaigns. More information on how to find it in the [[#Tips|Tips]] section.
 +
*'''Debug Mode''' - allows you to preview the content and queries directly in Google Analytics in the DebugView tab without passing them to reports.
 +
*'''Log Errors and Updates''' - allows you to monitor queries sent to Google Analytics and view their content and possible errors in the '' 'Logs' '' tab of the module.

[edit] Installation

This tutorial will show you how to successfully install and authenticate Google Analytics For WHMCS.

We will guide you step by step through the whole installation and authentication process.

1. Log in to our client area and download the module.
GAN 1.png
2. Extract the package and upload its content into the main WHMCS directory.

The content of the package to upload should look like this.

GAN 2.png
3. When you install Google Analytics For WHMCS for the first time, you have to rename the 'license_RENAME.php' file.

The file is located in 'modules/addons/GoogleAnalytics/license_RENAME.php'. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php'.

GAN 3.png
4. In order to configure your license key you have to edit the previously renamed 'license.php' file.

Enter your license key between the quotation marks as presented on the following screen. You can find your license key in our client area → 'My Products'.

GAN 4.png
5. Optionally, add a cron job as shown below (5-minute intervals are recommended). 
php -q /your_whmcs/modules/addons/GoogleAnalytics/cron/cron.php queue

This cron makes sure data is sent automatically when using the 'Add Requests to Cron Queue' Data Sending Method.
Do not forget to replace 'your_whmcs' with your WHMCS root location. The cron can also be executed every single minute to perform the action more often.

[edit] Connection and API Configuration

6. Log in to Google Analytics and create an account for your website if you have not already.
GAN 4 1.png
7. Copy the 'Measurement ID' and 'API Secret' .

The web stream details page should open automatically, if it does not, you can find it under 'Admin' → 'Property Settings' → 'Data collection and modification' → 'Data Streams'.

GAN 5.png
8. Paste them in under 'Configuration' → 'General Settings'.
GAN 6 1.png

Only selected actions will be displayed on the dashboard.

[edit] Configuration and Management

With the connection between the Google Analytics For WHMCS module and Google Analytics established, the basic functionality is already active.
You will be able to see your WHMCS data in the Google Analytics panel, and the module's dashboard will provide crucial information at a glance without needing to leave the WHMCS environment.
See the instructions below for more details on the module's configuration and management.

Note: It might take the Google Analytics API about a day to send the updated data back to WHMCS.

[edit] Advanced Configuration

Under the 'Configuration' tab you will be able to specify additional details regarding the module's functionality.

First, focus on 'General Settings'.

  • Data Sending Method - choose how the data is sent to Google Analytics. You can either send API requests immediately or use the cron queue system, potentially reducing the load on WHMCS.
    The cron itself can be found in the Queue tab.
  • Conversion ID - a unique identifier assigned to a specific conversion action in Google Ads. It tracks and reports activities that lead to achieving conversion goals, such as purchases, sign-ups, or other valuable interactions.
    You can find it in the conversion settings in Google Ads. Copy it and paste it with the 'AW-' prefix! Otherwise, an error will occur. More information on how to find it in the Tips section.
  • Conversion Label - a unique tag assigned to a specific conversion action in Google Ads. It allows for more detailed categorization and tracking of different types of conversions, such as various products or services.
    You can configure it in the conversion settings in Google Ads to better understand the effectiveness of your ad campaigns. More information on how to find it in the Tips section.
  • Debug Mode - allows you to preview the content and queries directly in Google Analytics in the DebugView tab without passing them to reports.
  • Log Errors and Updates - allows you to monitor queries sent to Google Analytics and view their content and possible errors in the 'Logs' tab of the module.
GAN 13.png
Moreover, you may integrate Google Tags Manager with Google Analytics For WHMCS.

To do so, provide the Container ID. You will find it by logging in to your Google Tag Manager account and opening a container.
In the top right corner (next to the Submit and Preview buttons) you'll see some short text that starts with 'GTM-', which is your Container ID.

GAN 14.png

[edit] Dashboard

This section provides a comprehensive overview of your website traffic and client actions, offering valuable insights into user behavior and engagement on your site.

The dashboard includes:

  • Event Statistics Graph - illustrating various actions your clients perform on your website.
  • New Users Graph - showing the number of your new clients.
  • Active Users Graph - displaying the number of active user visits.
  • Page Views Graph - representing the general traffic on the website.
  • Event Statistics Table - highlighting client actions just as the graph, but in the form of a table.
GAN 15.png
You can change the scope of each dashboard element by clicking on the 'Change Settings' icon next to it.

For 'Event Statistics' pick the events that are of interest to you, separate selections can be made for the graph and the table.

GAN 16.png

[edit] Logs

All errors and module activity can be found in the 'Logs' section. You can view the details of each log or delete it by using the action buttons.
GAN 17.png
Multiple logs can be deleted at once with the mass action function.
GAN 18.png
Moreover additional actions include deleting specific logs, exporting the logs into a '.csv' file and setting up the auto prune system.
GAN 19.png

[edit] Queue

If you are using the 'Add Requests to Cron Queue' Data Sensing Method, the 'Queue' section is where the requests can be managed.

You will find the information on the cron itself at the top of this section.

GAN 20.png
The list of the queued requests can be viewed, inspected, and managed manually. Use the action buttons to see each request's details, manually run it, or delete it.
GAN 21.png
Multiple tasks can be deleted at once via the mass selection feature.
GAN 22.png
The auto prune system can be set up to automatically delete tasks after a specified time.

This feature can be found under additional actions.

GAN 23.png

[edit] Tips

1. Once you turn the debug mode in the addon on, you will be able to track all API requests sent to Google Analytics under 'Admin' → 'Data display' → 'DebugView'.
2. You may use these requests to create custom definitions under 'Admin' → 'Data display' → 'Custom definitions'.
3. Follow these instructions to find your Google Ads Conversion ID and Conversion Label:
  • Sign in to your Google Ads account.
  • Go to 'Goals' → 'Conversions'.
  • Select the name of the conversion that you want to use or create a new one.
  • Expand the tab for Tag setup to view the tag details.
  • Select Use Google Tag Manager.
