To analyze session duration during a specific step in a funnel, you can use Mixpanel's Time to Convert feature in combination with session properties. Here's how you can do it:
Using Time to Convert in Funnels
Mixpanel's Funnels report allows you to see how quickly users convert between steps using the Time to Convert feature. This can help you understand the duration between specific steps in your funnel: 1. Set up your funnel with the relevant steps 2. Use the Time to Convert breakdown to see a distribution of time users took between any two steps in the funnel 3. You can select specific step ranges to analyze the time between those particular stepsFunnels documentation explains that "Time to Convert works like any other property in that you can filter to specific range of times or customize the bucketing of the breakdown."
Using Session Properties in Funnels
When you have Sessions set up in Mixpanel, each session generates "Session Start" and "Session End" events with useful properties: - The "Session Duration (seconds)" property is automatically computed by Mixpanel and indicates the amount of time spent during the session - You can use this property to break down or filter your funnel resultsAs mentioned in the Session Controls in Reports documentation, "The event properties 'Session Duration (Seconds)', 'Session Event Count', 'Session End Event Name', and 'Session Start Event Name' can be used to break down or filter these results."
Practical Approach
To specifically analyze session duration during a funnel step: 1. Include the relevant step in your funnel 2. Use the "Session Duration (seconds)" property to break down your results 3. Alternatively, you can use the Time to Convert feature to see how long users take between specific stepsFor more detailed analysis, you could also try using the Time to Convert Chart in Funnels which can help you understand the distribution of time users spend in your funnel.Remember that you can also count Sessions instead of Uniques or Totals in the Conversion Details section of Funnels, which will limit the conversion window to one session.
