Goals & Funnels
Goals track specific actions. Funnels chain goals together to visualize multi-step flows.
Goals
A goal is a single condition: an event name or a URL match.
Creating a Goal
- Go to your site dashboard
- Click the Goals tab
- Click Create Goal
- Enter a name (e.g., "Newsletter Signup")
- Choose a trigger type:
Event — matches a custom event name. If you track signups with boxy.track("signup"), set the event to signup.
URL — matches a page path. Set the URL to /thank-you to track visitors who reach that page.
- Click Create Goal
Conversion Metrics
Each goal shows:
- Conversions — number of unique visitors who triggered the goal
- Rate — percentage of total visitors who converted
- Trend — click a goal row to expand a line chart of conversions over time
All data respects the selected time range.
Deleting a Goal
Click the trash icon on a goal row. If the goal is part of a funnel, you must remove it from the funnel first.
Funnels
A funnel is an ordered sequence of 2–8 goals. It shows how visitors progress through a multi-step flow and where they drop off.
Creating a Funnel
- Create the goals you need first (at least 2)
- Click the Funnels tab
- Click Create Funnel
- Enter a name (e.g., "Signup Flow")
- Select goals for each step using the dropdowns
- Click + Add step to add more steps (up to 8)
- Click Create Funnel
Reading the Funnel Chart
Click a funnel card to expand the visualization:
- Each bar represents a step — width is proportional to visitor count
- Drop-off percentage is shown between steps
- Step 1 is always 100% width — subsequent steps shrink based on how many visitors progressed
Example: SaaS Signup Funnel
| Step | Goal | Visitors | Drop-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Viewed Pricing | 1,000 | — |
| 2 | Started Trial | 320 | 68% |
| 3 | Completed Onboarding | 180 | 43.8% |
| 4 | Subscribed | 45 | 75% |

Tips
- Use the Custom Events section in the Overview tab to discover which events to turn into goals
- Name goals descriptively — funnel step labels come from goal names
- Start simple: one funnel with 3–4 steps is more useful than ten complex funnels
