Hi
I'm really sorry for the trouble this bug has been causing you. I've checked the status of the bug report and unfortunately, we don't have an update just yet. However, I've made sure to add your email address to the list of affected users on the report.
I wish I could give you a specific timeframe for when this will be resolved, but it's a bit tricky. The time it takes to fix bugs can vary greatly because we have to consider a few things. We look at how complex the bug is, how many users it's affecting, and the overall impact of the issue. Sometimes, we also need to collaborate with our partners at other apps to find a solution, which can add to the timeframe.
I know this isn't the most satisfying answer, but please know we're doing our best to get this sorted out. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Hi,
We are experiencing the same issue with our GA4 Zaps. Can I be added to the list of users affected by the issue and be updated ASAP.
Thanks,
Denise
This is literally the case with almost every single Zapier integration. We are using it across so many apps, and they are almost all having issues, and Zapier responds with a generic response, as you can see on this thread. Just a note I have some “bug reports” where we received the same response 2 months ago, with 0 updates and no fix. I wouldn’t hold my breath. Zapier has become so unreliable it is impossible to use the platform.
Same error here, could you add me to the list as well!

Hi friends,
I appreciate your patience and understanding.
Not holding my breath. From what I can see you it takes you 6-12 months, sometimes longer to address bugs. Very poor business practice.
Are there any updates on this bug?
I have the same problem and I get this bug and it's been almost one month without any update here.
This integration is crucial for us as there is no direct Stripe-GA4 integration option, so we need to support ourselves with tools like Zapier.

Hi
I’ve added you both to the list as well. There’s still no update on a fix for this yet but we’ll be sure to email you once it’s been resolved. 🙂
My zaps are affected this too. Is this currently affecting only selected users or selected integrations?
I have:
Typeform → GA4
Fillout → GA4

Hey there
The bug affects the Create Measurement action on the Google Analytics 4 app, specifically so any users using that action in their Zaps will likely be affected by this issue when setting up their Zaps.
I’ve added you to the list of affected users so you can expect an email notification from us the moment that it’s been fixed.
In the meantime, I wonder if you could manually select the data stream, rather than trying to select it from the dropdown list that isn’t loading correctly. In which case the workaround would be to manually enter the ID for the data stream.
To do that you’d need to:
If you’re not sure what the ID is, Google has a guide on how to find the Stream ID which may help: [GA4] Stream ID.
Hope that helps. If you do manage to get this sorted using the workaround mentioned here please let us know! 🙂

Thanks for reaching out here
In the meantime, it may be worth manually selecting the data stream using the workaround mentioned in my previous reply. Hopefully that’ll allow you to continue setting up your Zaps while this bug is still hanging around. 🤞
Has this been fixed? I’m also dealing with this troublesome issue and I don’t see a “Create Measurement” step? It’s not even labeled like that in the UI. Can you do a quick screencast? I use Vidyard it’s free to create quick videos in your browser. I just not seeing what you’re talking about. I tried copying the Data Stream ID in the step where we are connecting the GA4 account and it still produces an error for me.

Hi there
The bug report is still open unfortunately so I’ve added you to the list of affected users. I can’t give any sort of estimate as to when this bug will be fixed by, but we will email you as soon as it has been sorted.
The Create Measurement event should be available from the dropdown menu on the Event field (on the App & event section of the Google Analytics 4 app). For example:
After selecting your Google Analytics account, you then move onto the Action section. From there, in the Data Stream field you’d select the Custom tab, then enter the ID into the field:
Sorry it’s not a screencast but hope that helps to clarify the steps needed for the workaround, and allow you to get your Zap set up in the meantime.
Enter your username or e-mail address. We'll send you an e-mail with instructions to reset your password.
