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

  1. Go to your site dashboard
  2. Click the Goals tab
  3. Click Create Goal
  4. Enter a name (e.g., "Newsletter Signup")
  5. 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.

  1. 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

  1. Create the goals you need first (at least 2)
  2. Click the Funnels tab
  3. Click Create Funnel
  4. Enter a name (e.g., "Signup Flow")
  5. Select goals for each step using the dropdowns
  6. Click + Add step to add more steps (up to 8)
  7. 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

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
