To enable sending data to Google Analytics 360, you will first need to add it as a destination in the RudderStack dashboard. Once the destination is configured and enabled, events from RudderStack will start flowing to Google Analytics 360.
Before configuring Google Analytics 360 as a destination, verify if the source platform supports sending events to RudderStack, by referring to the table below:
| Connection Mode | Web | Mobile | Server |
|---|---|---|---|
| Device Mode | Supported | - | - |
