Build a funnel
Pick the steps in order, give a step more than one way, name it, and set the conversion window.
- Open Funnels in the sidebar and press New funnel.
- Give it a Name, such as Trial to paid.
- Under Steps, in order, add at least two steps. The first step is where the funnel starts counting.
- Set the Conversion window (days).
- Press Save funnel.
You can build a funnel from the step names your backend already sends, or type names it will send later: the funnel starts counting as soon as they arrive.
Steps
A funnel has 2 to 8 steps. Order them the way people go through them: signed_up, then created_project, then invited_teammate, then paid.
A person counts at a step only if they reached every step before it, in order. Someone who paid without ever creating a project doesn't count at Paid in this funnel.
More than one way to a step
Often a step can be reached several ways. "Set up a tree" might mean starting from a template, starting blank, or importing one. Rather than pick one, give the step every way:
- Press + or… on the step.
- Add the other event. The form says Adding another way of reaching step 2.
- Press Add as alternative.
A step can have up to 6 ways, and a person reaches it with whichever they did first. Each event can be in only one step of a funnel.
Name a step
A step with several ways reads better with a name of its own. Type one in Name this step, up to 60 characters, such as Set up a tree. Without a name, a step is shown by its event: created_project reads as Created project.
The conversion window
A later step counts only when it is reached within this many days of the first step, from 1 to 90. The funnel's card says it under its name: 4 steps · counted when reached within 30 days of the first.
Pick the time a person reasonably needs to go all the way through. Too short, and people who take their time look like drop-offs. Too long, and recent weeks wait a long time before they are complete: see Step trends.
Limits
A workspace has up to 10 funnels. Deleting a funnel keeps the steps it counted, so you can build another one from them.
