This node interacts with the Google Analytics API, specifically targeting the Admin (V1Alpha) Channel Group resource for the "Get Channel Group" operation. It retrieves detailed information about a specific channel group within a Google Analytics property. This is useful for users who want to programmatically access and manage channel grouping configurations in their analytics properties.
Common scenarios include:
- Fetching configuration details of a particular channel group to audit or analyze how traffic channels are grouped.
- Integrating channel group data into automated reporting workflows.
- Synchronizing channel group settings across multiple properties or accounts.
Example: A marketing analyst wants to retrieve the definition of a custom channel group to understand how different traffic sources are categorized for better campaign analysis.

Dependencies
- Requires an OAuth2 API credential for Google Analytics API authentication.

https://analyticsadmin.googleapis.com/v1alpha. - Proper permissions on the Google Analytics account/property are necessary to access channel group data.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws "Missing Google Analytics API Credentials," ensure that a valid OAuth2 credential for Google Analytics is configured in n8n.
- Required Parameter Errors: Errors like "Property ID is required" or "Channel Group ID is required" indicate missing mandatory inputs. Provide these IDs to proceed.
- API Request Failures: Network issues or insufficient permissions can cause API call failures. Verify network connectivity and that the authenticated user has access rights to the specified property and channel group.
- Invalid IDs: Using incorrect or non-existent Property ID or Channel Group ID will result in API errors. Double-check the IDs.
