I have an app, which uses an email verification process on signup. After user's input is validated, the app sends out a link to user's email asking to confirm their address.

Is there a way to create a Goal Funnel which will have the confirmation link as the Goal URL (last step). In my case: confirmation links are generated dynamically:

.../verifying_email/8df11345-...-46b9-...-ffbc55fc9917


I am looking into Google Analytic's user identification option (User ID), but not sure if this will work with Goals.

You can use regular expressions to specify your goal URLs. From support.google.com/analytics/answer/1116091?hl=en#matchTypes

Regular Expression Match—for matching on multiple criteria:

A regular expression uses special characters to enable wildcard and flexible matching. This is useful when the stem, trailing parameters, or both, can vary in the URLs for the same webpage.

For example, if a user could be coming from one of many subdomains, and your URLs use session identifiers, you could use a regular expression to define the constant element of your URL. For example, checkout.cgi?page=1 will match sports.example.com/checkout.cgi?page=1&id=002 as well as fishing.example.com/checkout.cgi?page=1&language=fr&id=119.
As another example, you could use regular expressions to set a goal for a user goes to any page in a subdirectory: ^/sports/.*.


So you could use the regular expression:

.*/verifying_email/.*
