Currently we are deep diving into engagement of our users. Since we are subscription based app and we offer a 7 days free trial to majority of user we are focusing on their first day after they have started the free trial and also to first 7 days of trial.
One of the questions that we came across is:
How many activities users do on their first day and in first 7 days after they start a free trial.
How I did this:
I was making a report for January and February 2019
I created cohort of users that started a free trial on 01/01/2019, 01/02/2019, 01/03/2019,... 02/29/2019. I’ve created 59 cohorts.
Then I tried to determine how many events (BSB_ExerciseDuration) every user activated. And this is how I did it.
So in this case I was looking for the total amount of events that users have activated on their first day of free trial.
BSB_ExerciseDuration = event that triggers when user starts the activity/game in our app
1.1. Monthly US = Cohort of users that started Free Trial on 1.1.
Time: Jan 1, 2019 = Since I was wondering how many activities users have done in their first day of trial.
Ios Devices= user property, every user have different one.
So when I was researching for users that started the free trial on the 15th of January query/report looked like this:
When I set up this report I’ve pressed export “Download CSV”, then copied only users that were in cohort and then pasted it in spreadsheet after that I combined all these reports together and with some excel magic I got the distribution how active are our users in the first day.
It was a very painful day at work since there was 59 exports needed to combine data just for on event.
So I would like to know if there is a feature or report that would help me with this kind of queries.
For example:
What is the total amount of EVENT X that unique user triggered in the SAME DAY after user STARTED A FREE TRIAL.
Result of a query would be:
AMOUNT OF EVENT X (in the same day as STARTED A FREE TRIAL EVENT) | AMOUNT OF EVENT X (in 7 days after user triggered STARTED A FREE TRIAL EVENT) | |
USER A | 5 | 500 |
USER B | 100 | 1000 |
USER C | 3 | 300 |
USER D | 99 | 990 |
USER E | 2 | 200 |
USER F | 40 | 5000 |
