Funnel with more than 8 steps

[jerodales-maker]

Hey - do we actually have a limitation to create funnels up to 8 steps?

I'm facing the same issue; what is the reason for this artificial limit?

Yeah, this isn’t a bug — it’s an intentional limit in Umami.

Funnels are currently capped (around 8 steps) mainly for performance and UI clarity reasons. Each extra step increases the query complexity a lot (especially with event chaining + drop-off calculations), and beyond a certain point it starts getting expensive to compute and harder to visualize in a meaningful way.

Also from a UX perspective, very long funnels tend to become noisy and less actionable — so the limit keeps things practical for most use cases.

If you really need more steps, the usual workaround is:

• break it into multiple smaller funnels, or
• query the events API and build a custom funnel on your side

So yeah, a bit of an artificial cap, but there’s a practical reason behind it 👍
