Google Analytics

Data Connection Manager

The Google Analytics tool supports Data Connection Manager for an easier and a safer storage of your credentials. Create a connection to Google Analytics and easily reuse the stored credentials in workflows that include the Google Analytics tool. Alteryx Server requires stored credentials to successfully run the published workflows.

Make sure you have the AMP enabled in Options > User Settings > Edit User Settings >Defaults > Use AMP Engine for all new workflows and also in Runtime > Use AMP Engine.
