To mark an event as a key event in GA4 with Claude or ChatGPT, connect your Google Analytics 4 account to PaidSync.ai and ask the assistant to mark an event as a conversion, which makes GA4 and Google Ads count it. It changes the property, so keep your approval prompt on.
An event becomes a conversion only after you mark it. The write tool does that, and a read tool checks the result:
list_ga4_conversion_events lists the current key events so you do not add a duplicate.create_ga4_conversion_event marks an event name as a conversion, with an optional counting method. The event must already be firing.run_ga4_realtime_report confirms that the event is firing before you mark it.list_ga4_conversion_events and run_ga4_realtime_report only read your account. create_ga4_conversion_event changes it. That is the full set you need to mark an event as a key event.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| list_ga4_conversion_events | Checks the current key events |
| create_ga4_conversion_event | Marks the event |
| run_ga4_realtime_report | Confirms the event fires |
The event has to be sent to the data stream first, for example by a Tag Manager tag. Marking a name that never fires does nothing useful.
These steps use Claude to mark an event as a key event. PaidSync.ai also works in ChatGPT, and the prompts are the same.
