Funnel monthly product update, February 2021

Easier and more powerful – that's the theme of the February product updates in Funnel.

Hi,

It’s time again for the Funnel monthly product update!

At Funnel, our goal is to be more useful to you. Having recently joined the Funnel team, I would love to learn more about how you use Funnel – and what we can do to make it better! Please don’t hesitate to email me at adam.blomberg@funnel.io.

I’m also excited to announce that Ross, who has sent updates like this one before, is taking on an expanded role in our product team. Ross will lead the development of training resources and product documentation. Again, to make the product more useful to you! 

Without further ado, let’s dive into the product updates for February.

Best

Adam Blomberg
VP, Product Marketing

Explore your data easier than ever

Once you have connected to your data, it’s time to explore it! The aptly named Data Explorer is then your best friend. In February, it has seen two updates to make it easier and more powerful to use.

First off, it has got some new smarts. Data Explorer now shows the columns that are most relevant to you, based on what data sources you have connected. As always, you can then change the view any way you like.

The second update adds a bit of additional power: Data Explorer now lets you filter the table for values of a metric. For example, if you would want to filter out campaigns with fewer than 100 clicks, you can now easily do this.

All new capabilities in February

• Custom dimensions – split fields without using a regular expression
• Custom metrics – summarize multiple metrics quickly
• Data explorer – automatically adapts to your data sources, update of metrics filters
