Create a report with customer journey analytics to view the impact of every interaction a contact has with your business. With a journey report you can find out which touchpoints work best for attracting customers.
- You can add up to seven stages.
up to ten unique steps. For example, you could set seven stages and include two different steps in the first stage, second stage, and third stage for a total of 10 unique steps. - You can analyze up to two years of data or up to fifteen million unique events.
Create a journey report
- In your HubSpot account, navigate to Reports > Reports.
- In the upper right, click Create report.
- In the Build from scratch section, select Journey Reports.
- In the left panel, click and drag Steps to the Stage [X] section. You can add up to seven stages that lead up to a goal or conversion point.
- If filtering is available for the property you selected, you can configure your step by clicking the filter icon.
- Click the dropdown menu to select a property to filter by. Then, configure the filter and click Apply.
- To configure your journey report further you can add branches or make stages optional:
- To add a branch to a step, click and drag a Step to the Add a branch section. This will create separate pathways within a stage, this means that the contact can complete either path and be included in the stage.
- To make a step optional, click the menu icon, and select Mark stage as optional. This will mean that a contact does not have to go through that specific stage in order to continue along the journey. If a contact makes it to the last stage, they will be included in the total conversion rate.
Please note: the first or last stages cannot be marked as optional.
- In your report you can view the cumulative conversion rate and total conversion rate. Cumulative conversion rate includes contacts that went through every stage. Total conversion rate shows how many contacts got from the first stage to the final stage, but they could have skipped stages.
Cumulative conversion rate will equal total conversion rate if there are no optional stages or steps set in your report. - Contacts will only appear in the following step if their events follow the stages' order chronologically.
- Journeys reports count the unique number of contacts that completed an event in the journey’s pattern, not the total number of unique events.
