Delayed Events<\/strong><\/h4>\nGA4 imposes a 72-hour window<\/strong> for session attribution. If an event is sent more than 72 hours<\/strong> after the original session, GA4 may no longer associate it with that session, and the session source may appear as \u201c(unassigned)\u201d<\/strong> in reports.<\/p>\nExamples of Events that commonly occur after 72 hours:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- \n
When a deal is marked as won in your CRM.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
When a lead progresses through the sales funnel.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Even though these events are delayed, GA Connector ensures they are sent with the correct original timestamp, so you can reconstruct the original session linkage using tools like <\/span>BigQuery<\/span>, where session-level joins on <\/span>client_id<\/span><\/em>, or <\/span>session_id<\/span><\/em>, <\/span>can be performed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"To ensure events are properly attributed to the original session in Google Analytics 4 (GA4), the event must include the corresponding Session ID (session_id).
