Macro shows a "connect Google" panel instead of a chart
What you are seeing
The macro shows a "connect Google" panel instead of a chart.
#Why it happens
The site's Google connection is missing, expired or unhealthy. Reports and the macro both read data through that one site-level connection.
#What to do
An admin should open Settings > Apps > Google Analytics and reconnect Google. Tracking is unaffected in the meantime: only reading data stops.
#Settings involved
Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Connect Google Analytics / Disconnect | Settings > Apps > Google Analytics > Connect Google | Starts a Google sign-in popup. The connection is site-level: one admin connects once and the whole Confluence site uses it. Disconnect revokes access at Google and deletes the stored tokens. |
GA4 property | Settings > Apps > Google Analytics > Connect Google | Which GA4 property the in-Confluence reports read from. Also scopes the data stream, API secret and custom dimension controls. |
Data stream | Settings > Apps > Google Analytics > View tracking | Picking a web data stream fills in the Measurement ID for you. |
#Limits that apply here
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
Macro date range | - | Default 30 days. |
Google connection scope | - | The Google connection is site-level, not per-user. One admin connects and everyone uses it. |
