GA4: Add Conversion Events section
- add Conversion Events section notifying customers that some available actions (i.e. Google’s recommended events) are automatically marked as conversions in their Analytics dashboard, but other events will need to be toggled on under Mark as Conversion. - move Custom Events up on page (not sure if this belongs in FAQ anymore) - move Custom Dimension and Metrics up on page since it seems to make sense right underneath Custom Events

### Custom Events

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"}.

### Conversion Events

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.

The Google Analytics 4 [debug mode](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7201382?hl=en){:target="_blank"} is supported with the Google Analytics 4 Web destination. DebugView displays the events and user properties that Analytics collects from a user in real-time. This can be helpful in troubleshooting your implementation.
