Overview

This node integrates with the Google Analytics API, specifically targeting the Admin (V1Alpha) resource for managing Event Edit Rules. The "Reorder Event Edit Rules" operation allows users to change the order of event edit rules within a specified data stream of a property. This is useful when the priority or sequence of event processing needs adjustment to reflect new business logic or tracking requirements.

Typical use cases include:

Adjusting the sequence of event edit rules to ensure certain edits are applied before others.
Managing complex event transformations where rule order impacts data accuracy.
Automating updates to event configurations in Google Analytics properties via workflows.

Example: A marketing analyst wants to reorder event edit rules to prioritize filtering out internal traffic events before applying other modifications. Using this node operation, they can programmatically update the order without manual intervention in the Google Analytics UI.

Properties

Name	Meaning
Property ID	The identifier of the Google Analytics property containing the data stream and event edit rules.
Data Stream ID	The identifier of the data stream within the property where the event edit rules exist.
Query Parameters	Optional parameters to customize the API request, such as filters or pagination options.
Request Body	JSON object specifying the new order of event edit rules to apply during the reorder action.

Output

The output is a JSON array containing the response from the Google Analytics API after reordering the event edit rules. The structure corresponds to the API's response format for the reorder operation, typically confirming the updated order or providing details of the affected rules.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

Requires an OAuth2 API credential for Google Analytics with appropriate permissions to manage event edit rules.
The node uses the Google Analytics Admin API v1alpha endpoint (https://analyticsadmin.googleapis.com/v1alpha).
Proper configuration of the OAuth2 credentials in n8n is necessary for authentication.

Troubleshooting

Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws "Missing Google Analytics API Credentials," ensure that the OAuth2 credential is configured and selected correctly.
Required Parameter Errors: Errors like "Property ID is required" or "Data Stream ID is required" indicate missing mandatory inputs. Verify all required IDs are provided.
API Call Failures: Errors returned from the Google Analytics API may include permission issues or invalid request bodies. Check that the user has sufficient access and that the request body JSON is correctly formatted.
Invalid Operation or Resource: Ensure the selected resource is "Admin (V1Alpha) - Event Edit Rule" and the operation is "Reorder Event Edit Rules" to match this node's capabilities.
