Funnel
A comprehensive guide on using Funnel charts to analyze conversion and drop-off rates.
Funnel
Funnels are essential tools for understanding conversion and drop-off rates at critical steps within your product.
Watch our Funnel Training Video.
Funnel Use Cases
Our Funnel chart is useful for various scenarios:
- Determine the percentage of users converting at Step 3 of your onboarding funnel.
- Identify drop-off rates after users visit a specific page.
- Measure how quickly users convert between Steps 1-2 and 2-3.
- Analyze how often users perform Step 2 before moving to Step 3.
This list is not exhaustive. We encourage you to adapt the funnel to your unique use cases.
Building a Funnel: Basics
A funnel is a Formula used to analyze conversion rates between multiple steps in a flow. Kubit counts unique users at each step, allowing you to visualize conversion rates based on your use case.
- Each step can include one or more events with filters.
- Name each step for clarity in the chart. If unnamed, default step names like the event name will be used.
- Add or remove steps using the controls on the left side.
- Drag and drop steps to rearrange their order.
Main Funnel Controls
Funnel Steps
In Kubit, you can add up to 10 steps in a funnel. Define multiple events and filters for each step (up to 5 filters).
Subject
Select the Subject. Analyze by User or other subjects available in your Kubit instance.
Order
Control the order of your funnel steps with four options:
Sequence Order
Default order. Shows conversion based on sequential occurrence, even if other events occur in between.
Any Order
Shows conversion rate based on completing Step 1 first, then any other event in any order afterward.
Exact Order
Requires events to occur in the exact order without any events in between.
Custom Order
Mix Sequence and Exact steps in a funnel. Useful for funnels with steps that can have events occur in between others that must happen directly after the previous step.
Note: Precision of timestamps can impact results. Events with the same timestamp may lead to indeterministic results.
Additional Setting Options
Find all additional settings in the "Additional Settings" dropdown.
Mode
Explore more than just conversion rates with different modes:
Conversion Mode
Understand overall conversion and see all funnel members.
Frequency Mode
See how many times users perform an event before converting to the next step.
Note: Frequency Mode analyzes only converted users.
Time to Convert Mode
Understand the time it takes to convert from one step to the next.
Note: Time to Convert Mode analyzes only converted users.
Partition (Conversion Window)
Define the time frame for user conversion through the funnel.
- Day: Events must occur within the same calendar day.
- Session: All steps must occur within the same session.
- None: Useful for analyzing long-term patterns.
- Conversion Window: Steps must occur within a defined time period.
Group by
Analyze attribution of conversion in a funnel with two options:
- Starting: Breakdown applied over the first step.
- Global: All steps must occur within the same breakdown group.
Sampling Rate
Select a sampling rate to improve report performance for large datasets.
Options Within Each Funnel Step
Filter Each Step
Apply filters to each step individually to capture the correct conditions.
Exclude Events Between Steps
Exclude specific events between steps to count conversions only if certain events did not occur in between.
Add Additional Events Within A Step
Add multiple events within a single step for a true conversion. Use the + symbol to apply filters independently.
Re-Order Steps Using Drag and Drop
Re-order steps as needed using drag and drop.
Create a Cohort from Funnel Results
Isolate users who converted or dropped off at a certain point for further analysis by creating a Cohort.
Funnel Chart Controls
Compare Conversion Rate Between Multiple Breakdown Groups
Compare conversion rates between groups over time and measure improvements over baselines.
Show Additional Conversion Metrics
Expose additional conversion metrics like Bounce Rate.
- Relative Conversion: Based on the percentage of subjects completing the previous step.
- Absolute Conversion: Denominator remains the number of subjects that began the funnel.
- Bounce Rate: Percentage of subjects not continuing to the next step.
