Similar to what is available in GA
(About Channel Groupings - Analytics Help and Default channel definitions - Analytics Help))

A way to adjust "All Channels" with users own rule set to define which traffic will be assigned to which channel (like adjusting the "default channel grouping" in Google Analytics).

For the content we need to include the following features:

People would need to be able to change which websites go under which channel

People would need to be able to create their own custom channels and then use (1) above to pick which websites or referrers get assigned to each channel

To be discussed (notes added by Matt):

  • What happens when multiple channels are present (eg. Organic search -> Blog post "Channel") - which one takes precedence?
  • Can we set a cookie to store the channel eg. "Blog" when a user lands on a key blog post

Had another customer inquiring about 'Channel Groupings'. "First thing I've noticed, is that I don't see a way to modify channel groupings, Could you please let me know if it is possible to group/create channels manually"

Customer inquiring about channel grouping "We're looking to possibly switch from GA to Matomo and I very recently started a trial to understand if Matomo will meet our requirements. One of the first things I noticed is that it doesn't seem possible to create custom Channel types (or Channel groups as GA calls it). This is a very important feature to us"

Another customer request has been made for custom channel grouping - "We want to change the Channel Types to our own. Is this possible? For example, add Email channel, Paid Social channel, etc."

Another request for this: With channel groupings, is it possible to manually configure them? That would be VERY helpful.

Another customer asking about custom channel grouping:
"I would like to know if it is possible to have custom Channel types in Matomo?
Ideally, we would like to isolate the Paid Search and not have it grouped together with non-paid campaigns, and emails etc."
