Hi there! 

I'm looking into a funnel analysis with 4 major steps, A, B, C and D. But it would be very important to filter users by a user property X that is set on B step/event…

In this case, if I create a funnel "Conversion from A to D" and filter users by property X, will Amplitude understand which users had received this property on step B and consider them from the beginning?

 

Thanks! :D

Hi @Renan Silva. User properties are forward looking, so they tie with an event when it is set and persist with all subsequent events for a given user (until value changes, gets unset, cookies deleted if using browser SDK, etc). As such, if you filter across the whole funnel for “property X” the only users that would logically count in step A are those who hit step B (setting property 😵, then subsequently trigger step A again (as property X persists).

There’s a very similar scenario addressed here:

Totally clear! Thanks @dangrainger :D
