Channel is calculated based on source and medium (but mostly medium):
Channel | Source | Medium |
---|---|---|
Paid Search | - | cpc |
Organic Search | - | organic |
Paid Social | - | social/cpc |
Referral | - | referral |
Direct | (direct) | (none) |
- | ||
Other | When none of the above criteria match |
Right now, GA Connector’s calculation of channel doesn’t fully match Google Analytics standard definitions.
