Step-by-step guide
How to connect Google Analytics to PostgreSQL
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Google Analytics account
- An active PostgreSQL account with read/write permissions
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate Google Analytics
Click "Add Connection" and select Google Analytics from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Google Analytics's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your dashboards, reports, and datasets. You select which data sources the integration can read.
- Step 03
Authenticate PostgreSQL
Same process for PostgreSQL. Click "Add Connection," select PostgreSQL, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry read/write access to your database collections and records. You specify which databases and collections the integration can use.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: report generated in google analytics or new record created in postgresql. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: insert record in postgresql. Map the data fields between Google Analytics and PostgreSQL so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Google Analytics and PostgreSQL. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Google Analytics to PostgreSQL?
Sign up for a free DeskFerry account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both Google Analytics and PostgreSQL via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing data analytics events to databases actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between Google Analytics and PostgreSQL?
You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new Google Analytics events to PostgreSQL actions, trigger PostgreSQL updates when Google Analytics data changes, create PostgreSQL records from Google Analytics events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the Google Analytics and PostgreSQL integration free?
DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your Google Analytics-to-PostgreSQL workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Google Analytics data secure when connected to PostgreSQL?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Google Analytics or PostgreSQL passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your data analytics data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Google Analytics and PostgreSQL?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Google Analytics or PostgreSQL. For example, create a workflow where Google Analytics events update PostgreSQL, and a separate one where PostgreSQL changes sync back to Google Analytics. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Google Analytics and PostgreSQL?
No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use Google Analytics and PostgreSQL, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
