# What is Google Analytics?

Whatfix enables easy configuration of analytics with [Google Analytics (GA)](https://analytics.google.com/){target="_blank"}. 

:::(Warning) (Note:)
Configure Google Analytics (GA4) to view the following reports.
:::

You can perform the following actions only after configuring your Whatfix account to your Google Analytics account:

 * Track usage of the Flows created using Whatfix. 
 * Track usage of the various Whatfix widgets (onboarding Popups, Self Help, Beacons, Tasklist, slideshows, and more.) 

:::(Warning) (Note:)
The numbers may vary between Whatfix Analytics and Google Analytics. Whatfix Analytics uses India Standard Time (IST) GMT +5:30, while your analytics may be configured in a different timezone. To align the numbers, update the timezone in your Google Analytics account under **Admin > View Settings > Time zone** country or territory.
