Google Analytics 4 does not accept custom event names that include spaces. Segment replaces spaces in the Event Name in the Custom Event action with an underscore. As a result, you will see custom events snake cased in Google Analytics 4.

Google Analytics 4 is also case sensitive. If you would like all event names to be lowercase, use the `Lowercase Event Name` setting in the Custom Event action. If this setting is disabled, Google will treat event names with different casing as distinct events.

Event names are case-sensitive in GA4. This means that "my_event" and "My_Event" will be treated as two separate events. If you would like the event name to be lowercase, choose `Yes` in the dropdown for the `Lowercase Event Name` setting in your Custom Event mapping. If this setting is set to `false`, Google will treat event names with different casing as distinct events.

Segment's [Google Analytics 4 Cloud](/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/actions-google-analytics-4/) server-side destination uses Google's Measurement Protocol API to send event data server to server, whereas Segment's [Google Analytics 4 Web](/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/actions-google-analytics-4-web/) device-mode destination loads the gtag.js library client-side and uses Segment's event data to map to gtag.js events directly. Each destination has its own advantages and disadvantages. Your choice between the two will depend on your specific use case, technical expertise, and the platforms from which you want to track data.
