After adding the connector, you will be able to select a Google Analytics property, as well as use the segments associated with your account to select the Funnel steps. 

If the segment you are looking for is not available in the list, please try the following solution:

• Click on "Connect" / "Reconnect" on the top right corner and come back to the settings in order to update the list with segments

Trial accounts are also limited to one funnel only. In order to make the settings editable per each report, please upgrade your account to Premium version.

Use case: Build a report to monitor drop off rate for the 3 steps sales funnel for the top 10 categories.

To build this kind of a report you will require 3 (steps) X  10 (categories) = 30 (segments). If your sales funnel changes all 30 segments need to be updated. If your sales funnel increases from 3 to 5 steps, the number of required segments increases up to 50. Maintenance and potential errors increase exponentially.

By using the FunnelGraph dynamic segment option you just need to create 3 segments that would represent the sales process and 10 separate segments to enclose each category, in total 13 segments.

In the report, you will then assign each segment to the representative funnel step and replicate the settings by just changing the option "Apply segment(s) to Funnel" for each category.

Benefits: 

• Adding new steps to the funnel is easy > all settings in one place
• Easy maintenance because of no redundancy > condition for each step exist just once

Use case: 7 different 6-steps funnels have similar conditions, except for step #2 and #5, which are different for each funnel.

To build up this funnels, all 7 funnels needs to be created separately, in total 7 (funnels) X 6 (steps) = 42 (segments). Maintenance increases over time.

By using the FunnelGraph connector, you can use the conditions of the previous step to apply the condition for the next. In this case, you only need to create 4 segments that cover the similarity across the funnels and 2 segments per funnel to cover the differences, in total: 18 segments.

Benefits:

• Easy replication to new funnel
• Lower level of complexity which increases stability
