Here’s more good news for GA4 users: MetaRouter just added a GA4 connector for Sync Injector, which uses website tags to capture vendor-specific, non-PII customer IDs. The system then matches them to profiles in GA4 and BigQuery. This enables more accurate tracking of anonymous individuals across platforms, devices, and sessions, and targeted messages using vendor-specific identifiers.
Google is introducing a first-party data solution for analytics users, currently in beta testing, called Customer Match. When a website collects customer identifiers, such as email addresses and phone numbers, these automatically flow into Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to use in remarketing audiences across Google ad platforms. By contrast, Customer Match for Google Ads requires uploading identifiers in CSV files.
Data- and identity-driven marketing platform Stirista has announced its new API Marketing Suite.

There are also opportunities for enhanced customer profile enrichment and firmographic insights.
ChatGPT is hoping to grab another slice of your attention with Pulse, a now-in-limited-preview feature that will proactively deliver daily updates on information it thinks you’ll find useful. The new service is positioned as a personal assistant that will select contents “based on your chats, feedback, and connected apps like your calendar.” Forget about privacy; the real question is whether this becomes a news source that gives ChatGPT the ability to shape your opinions.
