Hi Tom, likely not because we hadn't considered that use case and have implemented some BQ-specific commands such as _TABLE_SUFFIX and unnest
.
Just curious, how are you going about replicating your GA4 data to Snowflake?

Is it possible to use this package with Snowflake as the data warehouse? If so, what would the settings be?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick reply! We're using a Fivetran connection to take the GA4 data and push it to Snowflake.
The Fivetran connector for GA4 does not load the data in the same schema necessary for this dbt project to transform the data: https://fivetran.com/docs/applications/google-analytics-4#schemainformation
This project is built upon raw, hit/event level data whereas the Fivetran connnector looks to aggregate only specific dimensions and measures you select.
The bigger issue here is getting access to the raw clickstream data :)
Zach is exactly right. Using Fivetran in many ways negates needing to use this package because your raw data has already been transformed into modeled data.
Indeed! I see it's pulling in a number of reports already. Thank you all!
