Why connect GA4 to n8n?

n8n runs on triggers and schedules, so a question you ask once can become a check that runs every morning. Connected through Lemonado, it reads your GA4 sessions, conversions, landing pages and funnels, so it can see where checkout drops off with today's numbers.

  • All your GA4 data

    Sessions, users and engagement, ready to ask about.

  • Always today's numbers

    Landing pages and page paths, synced from GA4 automatically, so answers use today's numbers.

  • Connect all your tools

    Questions like "What does a conversion cost by channel?" use GA4 and Google Ads, Search Console at once.

How to connect GA4 to n8n

Before you start

  • A Google Analytics account you can sign in to
  • n8n installed
  • A Lemonado account (the free trial works)
  1. 1

    Connect Google Analytics in Lemonado

    In Lemonado, open Connectors, find Google Analytics and sign in. Choose the GA4 property your site sends data to. The property, not the account, holds the data.

  2. 2

    Turn on external access

    In the company's settings, open External tools, turn the connection on, choose which sources it can reach and copy the server URL.

  3. 3

    Create a token in Lemonado

    In External tools, open your connection's guide, choose n8n, pick an expiry and click Generate Token. Copy it.

  4. 4

    Add the MCP Client Tool

    In your workflow, add an AI Agent node, then add an MCP Client Tool under its tools. Use node version 1.1 or later; version 1 only speaks SSE.

  5. 5

    Configure it

    Set the endpoint to the server URL, the transport to HTTP Streamable (pick it yourself on node version 1.1, which defaults to SSE) and authentication to Bearer Auth. Create a Bearer Auth credential and paste the raw token, without a "Bearer " prefix.

  6. 6

    Test and save

    Test the connection, save the workflow and ask the agent about your data.

  7. 7

    Ask n8n about GA4

    Try "Every morning at 8, check yesterday's GA4 numbers and post anything unusual to #marketing." Or ask: "Did conversions drop?" or "How did each channel do?"

Good to know

  • If the MCP Client Tool only shows an SSE Endpoint field, it's the version 1 node: replace it with a newer one. Keep the /mcp URL and choose HTTP Streamable.
  • Regenerating a token in Lemonado invalidates the old one, so update n8n when you do.

What can n8n do with GA4?

n8n's AI Agent reads your GA4 data on a trigger or a schedule, then posts, logs or files the result in the next node.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, through Lemonado. Connect your GA4 property in Lemonado, add Lemonado as an MCP Client Tool on an n8n AI Agent node, and n8n can see where checkout drops off with your live data.

Not easily. Google publishes an open-source Google Analytics MCP server (googleanalytics/google-analytics-mcp on GitHub). It's free, read-only and labeled experimental. It runs locally and needs a Google Cloud project with the Analytics Admin and Data APIs turned on. n8n needs a remote server, so you'd have to host it yourself. Lemonado is already hosted: add one URL and sign in.

Use Test step on the MCP Client Tool. A 401 means the token expired or was regenerated, so paste a new one into the Bearer credential. In Lemonado, check that Google Analytics is connected and External tools is on for the company. If numbers look low, check that you picked the GA4 property for the right site. GA4 can take a day or two to finish processing recent data.

Yes, if both are connected in Lemonado. One connection reaches every source you allow, so you can ask things like "Cost per GA4 conversion by channel, using Google Ads and Meta spend."

MCP is included in Lemonado's paid plans and in the free trial, so you can try it before you pay.
