Admin (V1Alpha) - Rollup Property Source Link → Create Rollup Property Source Link

AI-generated

Overview

This node interacts with the Google Analytics API, specifically supporting a wide range of administrative and data management operations across different versions (v1alpha, v1beta) and data types. The "Create Rollup Property Source Link" operation under the "Admin (V1Alpha) - Rollup Property Source Link" resource allows users to create a rollup property source link within a Google Analytics property.

A rollup property source link is used to associate source properties with a rollup property, enabling aggregated reporting across multiple properties. This is beneficial for organizations managing multiple related properties and wanting consolidated analytics.

Practical example:
If you manage several websites or apps as separate properties in Google Analytics but want to aggregate their data into a single rollup property for unified reporting, you would use this operation to create links from each source property to the rollup property.

Dependencies

  • Proper permissions on the Google Analytics account and property are necessary to create rollup property source links.

Troubleshooting
