Funnels

Define a sequence of pages and events and see where people drop off.

What a funnel is here

A funnel is an ordered list of steps (a page visited, an event fired) and the question is always the same: of the people who did step one, how many made it to the end, and where did the rest leave. Funnels live in their own tab on each site.

Building one

  • A step is a page path or a custom event. The editor suggests from what your site actually sends, so you pick real names instead of guessing spellings.
  • Steps are ordered: a visitor counts for step three only having matched one and two first, within the same session.
  • Funnels are computed over the range you pick, like every other view; change the range and the funnel recomputes.
  • Owners and admins edit funnels; viewers see results read-only.

Deleting

Deleting a funnel archives it: the definition leaves your list, and recreating the same funnel later is harmless. Funnels are definitions over your events, so they never change what is collected, and building one records nothing new. The events themselves are the only thing counted; see usage and billing.
