Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws an error about missing credentials, ensure that the Google Analytics OAuth2 API credentials are properly set up and authorized.
  • Required Parameter Errors: Errors indicating missing "Property ID" or "Display & Video 360 Advertiser Link ID" mean these inputs must be provided for the update operation.
