Goals or funnels are missing
A saved goal or funnel definition does not generate traffic. First verify the underlying pageviews and events.
Missing goal
- Confirm the event is saved under Settings → Events & funnels → Events and allow up to one minute.
- Match its spelling and case exactly in the sender. Check every sent property against Allowed properties.
- Perform the action after the tracker or SDK initializes. A guarded browser call made too early can do nothing.
- Check Rejected in the last 7 days and correct the reported reason.
- Open Goals for the correct product, surface and date range. Clear filters and check hidden-goal presentation settings.
For forms, distinguish a button click, a validated browser submission and a server-confirmed result. For visibility, check helper order, the threshold, delay and whether enough of the element can fit in the viewport.
Empty or incomplete funnel
- Verify each step independently in Pages or Goals.
- Check Equals versus Starts with, actual path spelling and any hostname restriction.
- Match the event identifier, not its display label.
- Perform the steps in order in the same website visit. A later visit or app event does not complete that sequence.
- Check the dates and data coverage. Imported daily totals cannot reconstruct ordered visits.
A hosted checkout may complete without a browser return. In that case a provider payment can exist even though the funnel's success-page step is absent. Check revenue separately.
