Very cool video! I've added this to my workflow since on user login based pages this is very useful for me. Question: Is the session_start only a bug in debug view? I've noticed in explorer analysis that in a 1 week period I have 190 users performing a session_start event, but in the same period I have ~540 total users overall in my webpage. This is of course impossible, since to be a user in that period they would have to come to the website and that would fire a session_start for that user. Since in the same period I have around 700 sessions (the same value as event count for the session_start event), I'm assuming that somehow the sessions are firing, but some sessions aren't just being linked to a given user, suggesting that some users aren't being attributed a session_start event, but since they then do a page view they will add on to total sessions.
Good video, many thank's! Is it also possible to count conversions per user? My problem is, that many users have multiple sessions (don't know exactly why, but maybe if the page stays open in a background tab and after 30 minutes a new session starts?) and now Analytics counts multiple conversions for one user. I just want to see in the conversion report how much % of the users have clicked on my link.
I have an affiliate/niche blog and there are several CTA's pointing to the same affiliate program in an article. So, I think I want to measure the conversion rate as % of users that clicked my CTA at least once. My workaround was to calculate this in Google Data Studio, dividing the amount of users that triggered my event by the amount of total users. Does this sound like a viable solution, or would you say I'm missing something? Would it make more sense to measure it by session?
Built-in and readymade? no. You would need to set cookies, check the session duration and use that in all of your triggers. Not as simple as you maybe thought in the beginning.
What do you gain from blocking us from "Saving" your videos to our favorites? You allow it in some videos and some you don't... Would love to categorically save your videos, so that we could go back to them... Please consider this request...
Hello and thank you. What about the Membership duration at right top, how does the setting affects the results?
Thanks for the great video. I have the event working but when viewing it again Landing Pages it says (not set) do you have any ideas how to fix this?

I have the same!
Is is possible for UA?
Outdated video. There is an option to count per session or events now. Just click on the 3 dots inside the events settings.

Your approach sounds ok
Would't it be easier to mark in GTM "count once per session"?
There is no such thing in GTM as a built-in "count once per session" feature
Oh you right. It's once per page / once per event.
Once per event would do it to :D
Once per event would not do anything here
I'm too tired to think that much in the morning but yeah. Is there any GTM way to do it?

I have no idea what are you talking about and I have not set anything specifically here
Very good, I found this as a hack also. Surely GA4 user and session scoped events are coming soon
Wow couldn't they just keep the good things from ga universal - thing like old fashion goal...
Great video as usual but why to speak so fast?
Is this possible for UA?
UA already does this by default
@@AnalyticsMania Thanks! i forgot about this
