Frequently Asked Questions

After you connect Google Analytics and complete the initial import, data is synced on the following schedule:

Initial import

When you first connect GA, we perform a one-time import to pull the last 6 months of historical data.

Ongoing data syncing
After the initial import, data is updated based on whether the day is still in progress or complete:
• Current day:
Data for the current calendar day is synced hourly.
This allows you to see intraday updates as new data becomes available in Google Analytics.
• Completed days:
Once a day has passed (after midnight), data for that day is considered final and is synced once per day, after midnight.

No.

Important notes

Google Analytics data is not real-time; intraday data may change as GA processes events.
Completed days typically stabilize after midnight, which is why they are synced daily rather than hourly.

Summary

Today’s data: hourly updates
Yesterday and earlier: daily updates (after midnight)
