You need to create a custom data source in the web UI first.
If you are uploading an R data frame, the function will prefix the column names with "ga:" for you if necessary.
After upload check the status by querying data sources using ga_custom_upload
and examining the status field.
Currently only supports simple uploads (not resumable).
An object of class ga_custom_data_source_upload
A guide for preparing the data is available: from Google here.

ga_custom_upload_delete(),
ga_custom_upload_list(),
ga_custom_upload()
