Difference in Install event vs actual Installed page views count

[Andres Leiva]

Hi all!

We've been going in circles trying to figure out how the install event is being tracked in Analytics for our extension. 

We're seeing differences in the install event count vs the page views on the installation-completed landing page. Install events seem to be off by 10% lower than the page views for specific days. 

I would have expected the numbers to be similar, but I am under the impression the event is filtered or transformed in a way I don't understand.

Thanks in advance!
Andres

Hey Andres,

Here is an announcement about the install event from a bit ago

Hey Patrick, 

I feel that this link doesn't answer the question.

Andreas seems to be asking about diff between his landing page that users visit after installation vs "install" events in the GA Dashboard.

We also see the difference. What's more, there is a difference between the Installations shown in the devconsole and "install" events in GA. It's simply not aligned and has never been. You can observe trends, but actual numbers are not reliable.

Hi Patrick, Kamil

What Kamil says is exactly what we are seeing in our dashboards. We were wondering if there may be any logical explanation for this behavior. We thought the installed event may be somehow filtering data, causing it to be lower.

If anyone has any insight into this, we would greatly appreciate the help!

Best regards,
Andrés
