👁 Google Tag Manager
If you're using Google Tag Manager to load Google Analytics, setup GTM to receive AddToAny stats in Google Analytics.

Top Events Report — GA4 & the gtag.js library

If you're using Google's current default code snippet for Google Analytics, the gtag.js library, AddToAny automatically integrates with your Google Analytics.

In the latest dashboard for Google Analytics 4 (GA4) properties, start in Life cycle > Engagement > Events > AddToAnyShare to access your sharing event reports. Each AddToAny share event has addtoany_service and addtoany_shared_url parameters (or socialAction and socialTarget parameters if you're using GTM).

In the older dashboard for legacy GA properties, start in Behavior > Events > Top Events > AddToAny to access your sharing event reports. Each service destination is an Action in this report, and each shared URL is a Label.

Social Plugins Report — Universal Analytics & legacy libraries

If you're using Google's legacy analytics.js or ga.js tracking code snippets, AddToAny automatically integrates with your Google Analytics.

Start in Acquisition > Social > Plugins to access sharing stats. Shares via AddToAny have a Social Network attributed to AddToAny, where each service destination is considered an Action in Google Analytics. For example, you can view the top sharing destinations by choosing Plugins and the Primary Dimension titled Social Network and Action.

Customize Your Reports

Using the Segment Builder, you can filter reports by Mobile & Tablet Traffic, Paid Traffic, Search Traffic, Organic Traffic, New Users, Returning Users, Made a Purchase, and many other custom segments.
