View as MarkdownImport your history
Importing is optional. Export your reports from Google Analytics 4 and drop the file in during setup, and Clerion writes its first briefing as soon as the import lands, instead of waiting for a week of new data.
Import from Google Analytics 4
- In Google Analytics 4, export your reports as CSV.
- In Clerion's setup, drop the file in when it asks for your history.
- The imported days appear on the Overview chart as their own hatched series, and the briefing reads them.
What is sent
The file is parsed in your browser and never leaves your machine. Only aggregates and capped top lists are sent to Clerion: up to about two years of daily totals and ten years of monthly totals, with the top pages and sources.
| Detail | |
|---|---|
| Imports per site | One. A new import replaces the old one. |
| Deleting | An import can be deleted whenever you want. |
| Visitor data | None. Only daily and monthly totals and capped top lists. |
Coming from another tool
Exports from Plausible, Fathom, Matomo, Simple Analytics and Umami are recognised. From those or anything else, ask priority support inside the app and we bring the history across for you.
How the briefing uses it
Imported history is shown and read alongside what Clerion tracks itself. The briefing says which claims come from imported history and which from live tracking, and never mixes the two in one comparison.
