Integrating Google Services in TheraSaaS

This guide outlines the steps for integrating Google services within TheraSaaS, including Google Analytics and Google Ads. It also explains considerations for other Google integrations, like Google Business Profile and messaging features.

1. Access the Integrations Section in TheraSaaS

1. Log in to TheraSaaS.

2. Navigate to the Settings section on the left-hand menu.

3. Click on Integrations.

2. Connecting Your Google Analytics Account

1. Sign in to Google:

   • In the Integrations section, find the Google Analytics option.

   • Click to sign in using the Google Workspace or Gmail account associated with your Google Analytics data.

2. Grant Permissions:

   • A pop-up window will appear, requesting permission for TheraSaaS to interact with your Google Analytics account.

   • Click Allow to grant the necessary permissions.

3. Google Business Profile – Considerations

• Recommendation: It is not recommended to connect your Google Business Profile to TheraSaaS.

  • Reason: Google frequently changes its settings, which can break the integration or override your settings.

  • Google Messaging Concern: If you have Google Chat or messaging enabled, the messages might come into TheraSaaS, but it is unclear whether these services are HIPAA-compliant.

4. Connecting Your Google Ads Account

1. Sign in to Google:

   • In the Integrations section, find Google Ads.

   • Click to sign in using your Google account associated with Google Ads.

2. Refresh the Page:

   • If the Google Ads data does not appear immediately, refresh the page to load the data.

   • Ad Blockers: If you're using an ad blocker, it might prevent data from appearing. Disable the ad blocker and refresh the page to resolve this issue.

5. Tips for Google Integrations

• Integration Steps:

  • Integrate one Google service at a time.

  • After integrating each service, refresh the page to ensure that the information displays correctly.

6. Other Integrations in TheraSaaS

While the focus here is on Google services, you can also integrate other platforms:

• Facebook & Instagram: If you are using TheraSaaS’s social planner, you can connect your accounts. However, be cautious of spam contacts that might be created from these platforms.

• LinkedIn: You can post directly to LinkedIn via TheraSaaS.

• Stripe: For payment processing, connect your Stripe account to TheraSaaS.

Summary

To integrate Google services within TheraSaaS, focus on connecting Google Analytics and Google Ads for analytics and advertising management. Avoid integrating Google Business Profile due to potential issues with updates and HIPAA compliance. Always refresh the page after connecting services, and be mindful of any ad blockers that might interfere with the integration process.
