For Monetate tag–based [experiences](https://docs.monetate.com/docs/testing-personalization), third-party analytics integrations can be set up that execute client-side and send reporting labels directly to a vendor (for example, Google Analytics). Only experiences for which third-party reporting is enabled have their labels submitted.

For Engine API experiences, no formal third-party integrations are available. Instead, the Engine API response can include reporting metadata. These labels are made available when the `includeReporting=true` flag is added to the [monetate\:decision\:DecisionRequest](docId\:DspILr3g1cifaeEYlsqsB) event.

:::hint{type="info"}
The requesting application is responsible for passing the metadata along to the preferred third-party analytics provider.
