Google Analytics for Firebase is an event-tracking tool provided for free by Google Firebase. It allows you to easily track events within your app and analyze them later using various filters.
This integration does not support UTM parameters to the launch URL.On Web, the GA code will capture the values based on URL in the browser.On Mobile, you will need to capture these values and pass to GA. Our Notification Opened Event Handler can be used to get the notification payload.

​
Events

The OneSignal SDK tracks events that pertain to notification open & receive events. The following events are sent:
Event NameDetails
os_notification_openedA OneSignal notification was opened
os_notification_receivedA OneSignal notification was received. (Android Only)
os_notification_influence_openAn application was opened within 2 minutes of a OneSignal notification being received. (iOS requires additional setup)
The OneSignal SDK also sends parameters which contain more info about the particular notification the event is attributed to:
Parameter NameParameter ValueDetails
source”OneSignal”To attribute this event’s source to the OneSignal SDK
medium”notification”A formal indication that the medium for the event is a notification
notification_idthe notification_id from a particular OneSignal notificationYou can attribute a notification ID to a particular “sent” notification on the dashboard
campaignIf using a template:[template_name]-[template_id] If not: First 10 letters of the headings API property or notification Title.Campaigns are a way to group notifications that are similar, such as notifications using the same template or title.

Setup OneSignal events integration with Google Analytics for Firebase

​
Setup Firebase

Follow the Firebase integration documentation and verify that Firebase is correctly functioning inside your application.

​
Enable Firebase in OneSignal

Navigate to Data > Integrations and enable “Firebase”. This will begin sending event data to Firebase. If you wish to track influenced opens on iOS, you will need to perform some additional setup due to limitations in Firebase.

Firebase enabled in OneSignal

​
Verify OneSignal events

1

Check your app logs

Verify that Firebase is attempting to send events related to OneSignal notificationsCheck in your application’s LogCat logs and look for Google Analytics for Firebase entries that indicate events corresponding to OneSignal are being sent. Look for os_notification_opened,os_notification_received, or os_notification_influence_open

Follow the DebugView Setup Guide

Follow the DebugView Setup GuideThe DebugView allows ADB to send Firebase events to your project when it’s in debug mode. Here is a great video on this for iOS: https://youtu.be/kpkW78OSbiw?t=289Example Debug Logs

FAQ

​
Why are the clicked and opened events not showing in Firebase?

The Firebase click event os_notification_opened and received event os_notification_received may not work if the Firebase library has not initialized in time so the Firebase library drops the event. More details on this github issue.
Link your Firebase Database and use Firebase Cloud Functions with OneSignal following our Firebase Setup Tutorial.
