How to track user behavior in my FlutterFlow app?

Step 1: Create a Google Analytics Account

Before we can start tracking user behavior on your FlutterFlow app, you will need to create a Google Analytics account. This is where all the information regarding user activity will be sent. If you already have a Google Analytics account, you can skip this step.

• Go to the Google Analytics website.
• Click on the 'Start for free' button.
• Follow the on-screen prompts to create a new account.
• After successful creation, note down the tracking ID that is given to you. This tracking ID will be necessary in the subsequent steps.

Step 2: Install Google Analytics Package

In your FlutterFlow app, install the firebase_analytics package. This package is necessary to interact with Google Analytics.

• Open the pubspec.yaml file in your project.
• Under dependencies:, add the following line:

firebase_analytics: ^8.1.1

• Save your file.
• Open your terminal and run the command: flutter pub get.

Step 3: Configure Google Analytics in your FlutterFlow App

After installing the package, you should configure Google Analytics in your app.

• Open your main.dart.
• Import the Firebase Analytics package with the following line:

import 'package:firebase_analytics/firebase_analytics.dart';

• Next, create an instance of Firebase Analytics at the top of your file:

FirebaseAnalytics analytics = FirebaseAnalytics.instance;

Step 4: Track User Behavior

Now that Google Analytics has been configured, you can track user behavior. This is done by sending different types of events to Google Analytics.

To track a certain event, use the logEvent method provided by the Firebase Analytics instance. For example, to track when a user completes a tutorial, you could do:

analytics.logEvent(
  name: 'completed_tutorial',
  parameters: {'name': 'tutorial1'}
);

In the above code snippet, 'completed_tutorial' is the name of the event and 'tutorial1' is the name of the tutorial completed by the user. The parameters can be changed according to the data you wish to log.

You can send as many events as you want to track various behaviors of the users.

Step 5: Check User Behavior in Google Analytics

Once events are being sent, you can check user behavior on your Google Analytics page.

• Go to your Google Analytics account that you created in step 1.
• Navigate to the 'Realtime' tab on the left sidebar.
• Here, you should be able to see the real-time actions made by your users.
• For a more detailed report, you can go to 'Behavior' which is also located in the left sidebar.

In summary, tracking user behavior in FlutterFlow involves creating a Google Analytics account, installing and configuring the firebase_analytics package, and sending as many events as you want to track user behavior.
