Admin (V1Alpha) - Property → Create Rollup Property

AI-generated

Overview

This node integrates with the Google Analytics API, specifically supporting a wide range of administrative and data-related operations across different versions (v1alpha, v1beta) and resource types. The "Create Rollup Property" operation under the "Admin (V1Alpha) - Property" resource allows users to create a roll-up property along with all associated roll-up property source links in Google Analytics.

This node is beneficial for automating management tasks within Google Analytics accounts and properties, such as creating properties, managing access bindings, running reports, and more. For example, using the "Create Rollup Property" operation, an analytics administrator can programmatically set up aggregated properties that consolidate data from multiple sources, streamlining reporting and analysis workflows.

Dependencies

  • Requires valid Google Analytics API OAuth2 credentials configured in n8n.
  • The node uses the Google Analytics Admin API endpoints (https://analyticsadmin.googleapis.com/v1alpha) for the "Create Rollup Property" operation.
  • Proper permissions on the Google Analytics account are necessary to perform property creation and related administrative actions.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws "Missing Google Analytics API Credentials," ensure that OAuth2 credentials for Google Analytics API are properly set up and selected.
