Google Analytics Funnel Step Regular Expression Not Working
- by scoarescoare
The first step in a funnel is going to have a dynamic ending fragment. Examples:
http://mysite.com/invite/tickle-party
http://mysite.com/invite/pajama-party
http://mysite.com/invite/puppy-party
To allow for such dynamism, I provided this url for step one:
\invite(.*)
My goals work but the funnel visualization report shows 0 for everything.
I know this problem is due to the regex in the funnel step because I copied this entire goal except I replaced
\invite(.*)
with
/invite/puppy-party
When I hardcoded /invite/puppy-party the funnel worked as expected.
Why is my funnel report not working with my original funnel step url parameter?
