You are viewing a legacy article about Universal Analytics. Learn more about Google Analytics 4 replacing Universal Analytics.
If a new GA4 property has automatically been created for you, but you are not seeing any data in the new property, it's because your Universal Analytics property tag could not be reused. This happens when your tag is not the Google Tag (gtag.js) or analytics.js.
In this case, you'll need to manually add the Google tag or configure Google Tag Manager.
