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.

With Google Analytics 4, you must create custom dimensions and metrics within the Google Analytics 4 interface to link event parameters to the corresponding custom dimensions or metrics. When creating the dimension or metric, you can either select a parameter from the list of already collected fields or enter the name of the parameter you plan to collect in the future. For more information, see [Google Analytics 4 Custom dimensions and metrics](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/10075209?hl=en){:target="_blank"}.

Some of Segment's prebuilt [Available Actions](https://segment-docs.netlify.app/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/actions-google-analytics-4-web/#available-actions) which map to Google's recommended events are automatically marked as a conversion in your Analytics dashborad. For example, when you add a "Order Completed" event, it will show up in your Analytics dashboard as "purchase" with the **Mark as conversion** toggle toggled on by default. However, for other events, such as "Add to Cart", you will need to manually toggle the **Mark as conversion** setting on in your Analytics dashboard. If you don't mark the event as a conversion, it will not show up as a conversion in your built-in reports. You can read more [about conversion events](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9267568?sjid=1275909514202748631-NA){:target="_blank"} in Google's docs.
