I currently have a production app using Firebase Analytics events, some of the event names no longer make sense and I would like to rename them.
Is it possible to rename a Firebase Analytics log event?
For instance, rename My_Event to My_New_Event
Analytics.logEvent("My_Event", parameters: nil)
There is no way to change historical analytics data. So while you can start logging a new name for the same event at any point, you will then have to look for both events in the Google Analytics and Firebase dashboards.
If you're using the BigQuery integration, you can implement the old name as an alias in your queries. But no such functionality exists in the Google Analytics or Firebase dashboards that I'm aware of.
In response to your question: "Is it possible to rename a Firebase Analytics log event?" The answer is yes if you have edit permissions for your Google Analytics 4 property.
In Firebase Analytics click Events, the Modify Event button, and then the Create button. Follow the guidance from here or the video to rename the event, for example:

Information.
IOS app swift, firebase+analytics, bigquery integration, iAd (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/iad)
Problem.
Most of installs are direct/none in firebase - so the same in analytics & bigquery. Main sources are google ads and apple ads. We can get apple ads source and campaign using iAd. But no info how to send this data to firebase (=how to set source for Firebase)
Question.
Is it possible to manually set source/medium/campaign for Firebase? Can't find anything :(
Any other tips how to get install source/medium/campaign and set it to Firebase?
Also, if we will use some tracker - appmetrica, appsflyer etc - there will be the same question - how to get source data from appsflyer and send it to Firebase
Thanks a lot!
As mentioned in the Firebase group conversation :
Setup multiple user properties based on the info you have (like
source, medium, campaign, etc)
Combine 2 or more user properties to
make an audience
Filter your attribution report on the audience
Follow the whole conversation here.
There is one documentation about how to add firebase to your apple project and another on installation of firebase in your apple app.
For more information you can refer to the blog5, medium post and link on how Campaign Attribution Works in Google Analytics for Firebase
Okay. After researches and tests I have this view
(1) First of all - unfortunately look like firebase team doesn't make clear and working method of setting custom sources
(2) There is some possibility to send something directly to source/medium/campaign in Firebase, but it work unstable.
To do this you need
Get somewhere your Source/Medium/Campaign (for example from iAd)
send 'campaign_details' event with source/medium/campaign params
Also, as mentioned Divyani Yadav - You can just send this params anywhere to user_properties
And somehow work with this data (using bigquery or making audiences to make some analysis in Analytics), but this approach doesn't rewrite firebase initial source/medium/campaign params
Is this possible to send out mail from Firebase when a particular event is logged on firebase dashboard?
In an iOS app, when particular API is failed, an event is logged in Firebase. I want to send out mail for this event from Firebase (like Firebase Crashlytics - firebase sends out mail when crash occur).
There is currently no option built into Firebase console to send an email when a specific event occurred. It is an interesting idea though, so I'd recommend filing a feature request.
It might be possible to do this through the Google Analytics dashboard, which you can also open for the analytics data that is gathered through Firebase. A quick search shows some help center pages, although I'm not completely certain.
If neither of those works, you can build it yourself. Here I see two options:
You can use Cloud Functions that are triggered on conversion events to run any code you want. From this Node.js code you'd then check the conditions on the event, and send the email if necessary.
By exporting the analytics data to BigQuery, you can run any custom queries on it you want, at any interval, and take whatever actions you deem necessary. It's admittedly not ideal, but depending on how important this feature is for you might be worth it.
My existing iOS app have custom events logged in Fabric to verify user actions. Now I migrated from fabric into firebase. All Crashlytics issues are shown in firebase Crashlytics. But custom events stored in fabric is not transferred to firebase events page. Will it automatically moved or we need to do it? Can anyone help me with that.
new events added to firebase analytics takes around a day to update and reflected in events section, mean while you can debug your custom events and check in realtime for debug version check the following link
I am trying to add Firebase Analytics (FA) and Google Analytics (GA) together in my iOS app. We can achieve that using Google Tag Manager.
I followed this tutorial https://developers.google.com/tag-manager/ios/v5/#introduction
I setup Google Tag Manager Triggers and Tags correctly. I have chosen "GoogleAnalytics" as the product which is asking when setting the Tag in Google Tag Manager. I assume that, when I fire events using fire base analytics, the same events should appear in google analytics too. It doesn't seem to be working for me. I do see FA dashboard being updated but nothing is showing up in GA.
[FIRAnalytics logEventWithName:#"BtnPressed" parameters:nil];
Any help is greatly appreciated!
A few things to check: Did you set up the appropriate triggers for the event? Did you publish your Google Tag Manager container? Is the container file included in a container folder (not a group), and included in the binary?
Another thing to keep in mind is that it can take some time for Google Analytics events to show up. One way of checking your configuration is to run in the simulator, which will cause Google Tag Manager to log verbosely. If everything is configured correctly, you'll see log messages from Google Tag Manager when you log an event. If there's a configuration problem, you should see log messages indicating an issue.
I am working on an iOS app, and using Flurry Analytics to track analytics. In the app, the user has the option of selecting a group to belong to. Is there a way to mark analytics with a tag, so that I can separate the analytics for each group in Flurry?
You can use the Segments feature in Flurry to track user groups based on age, gender, location, custom events, date range, etc. In your particular case, you can log an event when a user makes a selection, and assign that event to a unique Segment. The analytics of each Segment can be tracked independently on the developer dashboard. Please write to support#flurry.com if you need any further assistance on this. (Disclaimer: I work at Flurry)
