About Task Success
The Task Success page helps you measure whether users complete Tasks successfully and how easily they interact with important features in your application.
With Tasks, you define a complete workflow (e.g., filling and submitting a form, creating a lead, or uploading a document). Using Tasks and Tags together allows you to understand:
What percentage of users are completing key workflows?
Where is the biggest user drop-off in defined workflows?
Are the most important parts of your app being used successfully?
How many users interact with and finish your most important features?
Unlike the old version (where only Tags determined the Task Success Score), the updated framework now measures end-to-end flow completion. Tags can still be tracked for individual element usage, but they no longer contribute to the Task Success Score.
Why use it
Task Success shows interaction with your Tasks and tells you if users are able to complete predefined processes from start to finish.
A low Task Success Rate signals friction, broken processes, or potential usability issues. Fixing these can reduce support requests and improve productivity.
A high Task Success Rate indicates smooth user experiences and has a big impact on business results (for example, higher productivity, lower friction and fewer errors and mistakes in Task execution).
How is it calculated?
Sessions that had interactions with Tags / all engaged Sessions = Task Success Score
| Completions ÷ Starts × 100 | |
Start | When a user performs the first step of a defined task. | |
Completion | When a user reaches the last step in the same session (regardless if the middle actions are done or not). | |
Abandoned | User starts but does not complete the Task. |
Keep in mind that Tags can still be used to measure interaction with individual elements (e.g., clicks on a single button, interaction with Navigation), but they no longer contribute to the Task Success Score.
Best Practices
Define meaningful Tasks
Create Tasks around critical workflows that align with your product’s value (e.g., onboarding, checkout, form submission).Investigate incomplete Tasks
Analyze drop-off points to see where users struggle.
Run user research to understand why they get stuck.
Adapt processes or provide additional guidance.
Create awareness and provide support
Add Guides where users encounter issues.
Promote key workflows through onboarding or internal training.
Simplify Tasks where possible to improve completion rates.
Good to know
Tags remain available for tracking single elements, but they no longer influence Task Success Scores. They are shown under a dedicated section in the Task Success view.
Data refreshes hourly, so your analytics stay up-to-date.
Tasks vs Tags: Use Tasks to measure process completion. Use Tags to track specific feature interactions.
If you remove an application URL, Tasks or Tags linked to it will stop being tracked but still appear in the Task Success overview until you delete them.
