How to Connect Google Analytics (GA4) to a Flipbook

Short answer

Copy your GA4 Measurement ID (it starts with G-), then in HB Flipbook go to Settings → Tracking and paste it into Measurement ID under Google Analytics 4. Every published flipbook in the workspace then sends reader events to your GA4 property, unless a flipbook overrides it on its own Integrations tab.
