Using Google Analytics in a Figma Plugin

Plugin and Widget API Questions

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to use Google analytics in my Figma Plugin to track usage. I get the following Security error when Google Analytics is initialized.
‘SecurityError: Failed to read the ‘cookie’ property from ‘Document’: Cookies are disabled inside ‘data:’ URLs.’

Has anyone had any luck with using a analytics solution inside your plugin ?

Thanks!

@Matthieu_Lepine I was able to use mixpanel for this. Check out mixpanel-figma - npm

But are we getting a cookie insent message first then? Or do you get notified about the fact you’re using GA? This because I’m not quite sure how this will work with GDPR

I wanted to track the plugin analytic and I was playing with mixpanel-figma - npm as well. I also made more advances tracking with New Relic. Take a look to this article if you want to know more How to get analytics and observe your Figma plugin behavior

Is mixpanel-figma still working for everyone?

I keep getting a TypeError: cannot read property 'console' of undefined when loading the plugin after adding:

mixpanel.init({myToken}, {
  disable_cookie: true,
  disable_persistence: true
})

Still working for me, I also had the same error, then I moved this init function inside the UI entry file not inside the code entry file, it has the console window function running once triggered.

Hi @Miranda_Bailey do you have instructions on how to connect Google Analytics to Figma prototype?
