  1. Configuration
  2. Funnels

Funnels represent an event or sequence of events taken by a model. These events are represented by steps. These steps can trigger actions.

For example, an app might have an onboarding funnel with 3 steps; sign_up, development_api_call, and production_api_call. On sign_up, you might want to be notified in a slack channel of the sign_up and reminded via email 3 days later if a customer doesn’t get to development_api_call. While for production_api_call you might want to send the customer a personalized email or slack message congratulating them for completing integration. You can define all this behavior in funnels.

​
Parameters

idRequired
string

Human-readable identifier for the Funnel.

forModelsRequired
string[] | string

The list of model names or name that should are applicable for this funnel. For example, maybe your onboarding funnel is only applicable to a customer, not an organization.

​
Steps

stepsRequired
step[] | step

Steps are the sequential events that happen during a funnel. They will have actions that will fire when the event is fired and the steps is satified. Events get called when the developer calls /api/v1/events with an event name that equals the event name in the step object. See events endpoint for more information.

If there are multiple events in a steps array, the event can only be satified if every event before it have been satified and the single event after it has NOT been satified.


eventRequired
string

The event name that will trigger the step.

actions
action[] | action

The actions that are fired when the step is hit. See the actions section below for more details.
