How to Send The Events Calendar Data to Google Analytics 4

Google Analytics 4 is a analytics platform. Here is how to pipe The Events Calendar event straight into Google Analytics 4 using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.

Skip the automation middleman

Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to analytics. No task meter, no monthly bill.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with The Events Calendar installed and configured.
• A Google Analytics 4 account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Google Analytics 4 to AFI

1. Get your GA4 Measurement ID and API Secret from your GA4 property.
2. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → GA4.
3. Enter the Measurement ID and API Secret.
4. Click Save.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it The Events Calendar to Google Analytics 4.

2. Pick your trigger

Select The Events Calendar as the form provider. AFI fires when an event RSVP or ticket order is submitted, giving you access to attendee name, email, event title, event date, ticket type, and order total.

3. Select Google Analytics 4 as the destination

Choose Google Analytics 4 from the platform dropdown and pick Send Event. This sends an event to Google Analytics 4.

4. Map fields

Match each Google Analytics 4 field on the left to the corresponding The Events Calendar field on the right. Common mappings include attendee name, email, event title, event date, ticket type, and order total. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain records? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in The Events Calendar. Check Google Analytics 4 to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.

Free vs Pro

The free version maps event name and parameters to Google Analytics 4 with unlimited records. Pro adds custom parameter mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
