Why should I use custom events instead of recommended events?

Custom events allow you to track unique business interactions that do not fit into Google's predefined categories, such as specific SaaS tool usage, specialized calculators, or niche industry actions.

What are the naming limits for GA4 events?

Event names must be 40 characters or fewer, use snake_case (lowercase with underscores), and avoid reserved names or generic terms like 'click' or 'data'.

Does this skill support server-side tracking?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for the GA4 Measurement Protocol, which is used for sending events directly from server-side environments.

Do I need to register custom parameters in the GA4 interface?

Yes. For custom parameters to appear in your standard GA4 reports, you must manually register them as Custom Dimensions in the Admin > Data Display > Custom Definitions section.

How many parameters can I add to a single custom event?

GA4 allows a maximum of 25 parameters per event, with each parameter name limited to 40 characters and most values limited to 100 characters.
