1. Add the Google Analytics connector in the Xkit platform.
- In the Xkit platform, click "New Connector" in the sidebar or at the bottom of the "Connectors" screen.

- Additional details about the scopes are available here.
- Click "Add to Table" and then "Update".
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Save and Continue."
4. Complete the Xkit connection setup.
