Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Please describe.

User request.

I want to be able to create an action that is counted when Event B is done after Event A. Use case is not conversion (which funnels would meet).

Describe the solution you'd like

The ability to define an action as a sequence of events.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Instruct users to instrument this themselves and send an event that represents the sequence.

Additional context

Thank you for your feature request – we love each and every one!
