Match/ Regex expression for funnels

[Sofia]

Hello

I am just starting out with Matomo, hope this question is not just a feature request.

When creating a funnel of a goal, I would like to check the event name with a regex? Isn’t that possible, although it’s possible for the goal matching?

Thank you in advance for your time

Hi Sofia,

It is not possible to use regex with funnel steps. You could use an event that is triggered by some logic on your side to trigger the step.

Thanks,

@Jason_1282 I just came across this answer and I am confused. There is an option to use url regex in funnels steps right? I can’t for the life of me get this to work either, but the option is there and I am pretty sure I have got the pattern right by now

Could use some help with regex (in funnel plugin), anyone?

The url’s are https://www.domain.com/category/item (always https, always www, never trailing slash Basically I would like the goal conversion to be any page visit on https://www.domain.com/categorie/item (not a specific category and item but any!) One of the steps in funnel would be https://www.domain.com/category/ (any category) Because there are many categories and items involved I can only do the with regex, shouldn’t be too difficult but I lack regex knowledge altogether:) A bit of he…

Hi Japhy,

If you validate the step in the funnel step validator, does the step go green?

Thanks,

No it’s not and that’s weird because if I use the same pattern as a goal it does work. And as far as I know this is valid regex ^https://domain.com/[a-z]+$

In the end I got it working by using event categories as steps

on a sidenote: I am slightly color blind and on certain screens these colors are really hard to tell apart for me.
