Immediate Next Page after sequence A→B

[JakeRi]

I’m struggling to understand how to create a segment that will allow me to generate a list of page URLs that users visit after following a specific sequence.

For example, a user follows this path:

• Page A
• Page B
• Page C

I want to create a hit-based segment that focuses only on the Page C hits (step 3 in the sequence).

Currently, I have a segment set up as follows:

• A sequence where Page URL = A, then within 1 hit Page URL = B, then within 1 hit Nested Page URL exists.
• The overall container is set to Only After Sequence
• .

Can someone help me understand how to make this segment return only the Page C hits?

Additionally, could someone explain why you create a hit-based segment using a Visit or Visitor-level container that includes a sequence?

This segment, I believe will pull back ALL pages following the sequence, not just the immediate page after Page B.

If you look at the sequence built by the "Next Item" panel, they have additional logic to exclude the remaining pages.

HITS [

    HIT Container [

        Page (non-repeating instance) exists

    ]

    AND

    VISIT Container (Only After Sequence) [

        HIT [

            Page (non-repeating instance) equals Page A

        ]

        THEN Within 1 Page View

        HIT [

            Page (non-repeating instance) exists

        ]

        THEN

        HIT Exclusion [

            Page (non-repeating instance) exists

        ]

    ]

]

This segment looks for the next page after Page A... in your case, you want Page A > Page B > Page ? 

I would try to add Page B into the sequence here and see if that gets you closer to what you need, as opposed to all pages after the sequence.

Good Luck! Let us know if you are successful.
