Connect GrowSurf to Google Analytics 4 and confirm events arrive

Connect the Google Analytics integration in GrowSurf, keep the relevant events enabled, and run one test referral flow so the event names are easy to confirm in GA4.

Choose the event that matches the real success condition

Use growsurf_signup if success means a new participant joined your program. Use growsurf_referral if success means a referred friend completed signup. Use growsurf_referral_trigger if a later qualifying action is what should count as the referral conversion.

Find the event in Google Analytics

Open your GA4 events management or reporting view and confirm the exact GrowSurf event name you want to promote. Keeping the naming exact matters because key events are case sensitive.

Mark the chosen GrowSurf event as a key event

In Google Analytics, mark the selected GrowSurf event as a key event. Keep the list focused on the one or two events that represent real referral success so reporting stays readable.

Review the setup whenever your referral trigger changes

If you switch from counting referred-friend signups to counting a later qualified action, update the key event to match. Otherwise your dashboards will keep measuring the wrong success moment.
