Hello we have created an app for google drive for our product but the download counter on the marketplace does not match our internal counter, i was wondering if there is any way to check this or alternatively how often dos this counter update
As an alternative, if you provide a Google Analytics ID when you configure the Google Workspace Marketplace SDK for your app listing, you can monitor how users interact with your app listing from Google Analytics.
Also, the Google Marketplace API lets you determine what domain have installed/uninstalled your app. You can use the API's LicenseNotification collection method to collect the activity of your app.
Regarding how often the counter updates, there is no estimate of how long it takes but if you still notice that numbers doesn't match, you can forward your report to the dedicated 'Send Feedback' channel. From the Google Marketplace page click on the (?) icon > 'Send Feedback'. You can also attach a screenshot to show the install count.

I want to do tracking in my Google Workspace Add-on listing page in Google Workspace Marketplace(https://workspace.google.com/marketplace) by Google Analytics 4 Measurement ID G-xxx but it cannot track anything. However, this can be achieved by UA-xxx ID and the data is passed to GA.
I think this is the Google Analytics version issue and it seems I have nothing to do here but if you have any suggestions or advices, it would be really helpful.
Procedures
Google Cloud Console > API & Services > Enabled APIs & services > Google Workspace Market Place SDK
Under App Configuration tab, set Google Analytics ID in Listing Data field
Put GA4 Measurement ID "G-xxx" and save.
Expectations
Access data will be passed to GA but nothing happens.
I am currently a free user of Google chat, and I am trying to set up an incoming webhook to send myself asynchronous messages (notifications) in a chat space. I have not been able to locate the "Manage webhooks" dialog in the chat space menu. Is the incoming webhook chat bot feature for Google Chat only available for user with Google Workspace access?
The documentaiton is not very clear about it, but to add a webhook, you should be able to create it first
The documentation for Google Apps Script bot specifies:
Prerequisites
A Google Workspace account with access to Google Chat.
There is no direct respective mention for Webhooks, but this seems to be a bug - see There is no mention in the documentation of the "Configure webhooks" being available only for Workspace users.
In other words:
Unfortunately, Incoming Webhooks are only available to Google Workspace users, even if it is currently not mentioned in the documentation.
I am developing a Google Assistant app for Google Home, and about to launch the app. I am wondering, once my app is live on the Google Assistant platform, whether I (as a developer) would have access to all of the conversation histories as users interact with my app.
If so, does Actions on Google / Google have some sort of interface to view / download the history? Or, do I have to log and capture the history myself? I thought the history will be really helpful for me to improve my app.
Many thanks!
It depends a bit on how you have built your Action.
If you have built it with one of the templates - then no, you don't have access to the conversations.
If you have built it with the Actions SDK or with Dialogflow, then you will have access to quite a bit of information that is delivered to your fulfillment webhook. If you have intents that do not send anything to your webhook - you will not get that information.
There are tools that help you examine conversation flow, see where users get stuck or fall out of the conversation, or how they're using your Action. Most of them have good integration with the Actions on Google libraries. I use a combination of Chatbase, Dashbot.io, and Google Analytics.
Its been three weeks my app (GSuite spreadsheet add-on) is in "Pending Review" state after unpublishing it through chrome web store developer dashboard.
I also don't know why it is visible in marketplace as well when I already requested Google for unpublishing this item.
Query: Its already three weeks gone, any idea how much max time Google takes to unpublish an GSuite marketplace app from Chrome web store developer dashboard?
Here is a related SO post about the unpublished apps in web store.
See this full answer from the post:
if app is unpublished then is will not be available for download, will
not appear in in-store search results, and simply cannot be installed
from store. No details information from Google Play can be received
even with direct URL to the application. Unpublishing however does not
affect existing installations (so apps will not be automatically
removed from any device that got it installed already). Also existing
users still would be able to update if they are on older version.
And you cannot have another application with the same package name, no
matter what.
EDIT
Please note that you unpublish (and this means just what name says,
nothing more) not just APK - you hide all related stuff (app's page in
Google Play etc). To end user it looks like the app is gone. For you -
it is still in your console, you can edit description, images, see
comments, stats or update APKs etc., but unless you publish it again,
nobody will see these changes.
I created a free education Chrome App and uploaded it via the Chrome Developer Dashboard. The App doesn't appear when I search for it with the Web Store search feature. Is there something missing in the manifest file or the descriptive material? There is no website associated with this App.
Thanks.
Edit: Thanks for the answer. Patience is the key with the Google Chrome Store.
The search index of Web Store is (probably) not updated immediately after publishing an extension/app.
Retrying the search a couple of hours after publication is complete will show it like normal.
Also, make sure your extension is actually published, and not stuck in automated or manual review. The former takes up to an hour, the latter can take days. Check your Developer Dashboard for the status of your item.
