I have this scenario
I enabled User-ID feature and Session Unification feature.
On the frontend when someone Signup I set their newly created UserId and I trigger custom event, that says that someone signed up.
Then I trigger another custom event from the backend that say that user becomes a friend with someone (need to do this fro the backend) and I'm using Measurement Protocol for this hitting this endpoint when this happens https://www.google-analytics.com/collect?v=1&t=event&tid=trackingId&uid=uid&ec=eventCategory&ea=eventAction&el=eventLabel
Now the problem that I have is that I did a small test, where I registered 2 users, and for one I become a friend with someone just to see if that event triggers too
Inisde the Realtime everything works as expected, but when the reports show up the next day I got 1 user with status Unassigned
Any Ideas what can break this flow and how this can happen? I thought If data in realtime is ok that it will be on reports too, Thanks!
Miss & before ea parameter. This can make issue because event action will not recognized and it is a required parameter.
EDIT
if you have done the tests too far apart (30 minutes) you can generate some inconsistencies due to the session, considering that you send an event.
Note: real-time data is generally unreliable.
