Thank you for your feedback
Whatfix requires custom dimensions, such as user_id and flow_id to be present in your Google Analytics account to create Whatfix reports in Google Analytics 4 (GA4).

The data that is collected may vary between Whatfix Analytics and Google Analytics. This is because Whatfix Analytics uses India Standard Time (IST) GMT +5:30 timezone and your analytics must be configured to a different timezone. To see the same numbers, update the timezone in your Google Analytics account under Admin > View Settings > Time zone country or territory.
