To add Google Analytics, you will need your Google Analytics GA4 Tag by going to Property Settings > Data collection and modification > Data Streams > Click on the property (www.yourdomainname.com) > Measurement ID which should look something like this G-GEDXXXXXXX. You will paste that Tag into this field: Under 3plains Portal > Website > Settings > Technical Info > Google Analytics GA4 Tag
