    Hello,

    I am using a standard Level Progression funnel.
    I understand that events need to be sent in the exact order one after the other, in order for the funnel to reach its end.

    Hence, the following two scenarios are clear to me:
    A. level_start 1, level_complete 1, level_start 2, level_complete 2 -> funnel reaches the end.
    B. level_start 1, level_complete 1, level_start 3, level_complete 3 -> stops at level_complete 1

    My question is regarding this scenario:
    C. level_start 1, level_complete 1, level_start 2, level_start 2, level_complete 2

    What is the behavior?
    1. Does it stop at the first level_start 2, because the next event is not level_complete 2?
    2. Does it continue to the end, because level_start 2 is repeated and counted only once, and the funnel reaches the end.

    Thanks!

    The second level_start 2 and level_complete 2 will be ignored. The funnel will continue as soon as level_start 3 is received.

    So, my question is:
    If I receive two consecutive level_start 2, will the funnel continue as soon as level_complete 2 is received or it will stop as two consecutive level_start 2 are breaking the events order?

    The second level_start will be ignored. The funnel will continue normally. You can send as many level_start 2 events are you want, the funnel will patiently sit there and ignore the duplicates, and wait for level_complete 2

    Thanks a lot!
    And for me to understand better, if I have a funnel like this:
    A -> B -> C -> D -> E

    (A/B/C/D are shorthand's for events)

    If I receive the following sequence:
    AB ABC ABCD
    Will it register as ABCD ?

    So basically it always waits for the next event to arrive?

    Yes.
