How do I move my goals and events from GA4?

A mapping table from GA4 conversions to TapCub, plus why the conversion rate looks different even when the count matches.

Short answer

Recreate only the goals someone opens weekly — usually fewer than ten. Map each GA4 conversion to a TapCub page goal, event goal or funnel; UTM links need no change at all.

Map goals one for one

Do not try to recreate every conversion event on day one. List the goals someone opens weekly and rebuild only those:

In GA4In TapCub
Destination / page goalA page goal under Web analytics › Goals: exact path, prefix or wildcard.
Event-based key eventAn event goal on an event name, optionally with one property condition.
Purchase with valueAn event goal with revenue enabled, or a server-side event for amounts you need exact.
Exploration / funnelA funnel in Insights › Behavior, 2–20 steps, window up to 180 days.
AudienceA segment in Insights › Users.

UTM and ad click IDs carry over untouched

UTM parameters need no mapping. TapCub reads utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term and utm_content exactly as you already tag links. Ad click IDs (gclid, msclkid, bd_vid and more) are read automatically and classified as paid without setup. Channel groupings differ from GA4; if your team relies on a custom grouping, recreate it under ConfigurationWeb settingsChannel rules — your rules win over the defaults. Details in Sources and UTM.

Why the conversion rate looks different

Goal conversion rates in TapCub divide by distinct visitors, not sessions. If your GA4 report divided by sessions, the percentage will look different even though the underlying count matches. Decide which denominator your team wants and state it in the report title so nobody compares two different rates.
