When setting up an Alert in a Mixpanel report, Filters play an important role and do affect the alert. According to the knowledge sources provided, here's how Filters impact Alerts: 1. Filters narrow down the data that triggers the alert. When you apply filters to your report, those filters are also applied to the alert conditions Docs Features > Alerts> .2. It's crucial to note that you can only create alerts for reports that have been saved. If your report has unsaved changes, including new filters, you won't be able to set up an alert until you save those changes Docs Features > Alerts> .3. When creating an alert, you have the option to select specific segments if your report has a breakdown applied. This allows you to be alerted when any segment or a particular segment matches the alert criteria Docs Features > Alerts> .4. If you're experiencing discrepancies in your alerts or reports, it's recommended to check if any filters have been applied. Filters can significantly impact the data being analyzed and, consequently, the alerts triggered Docs Tracking-best-practices > Debugging> .In summary, Filters do affect Alerts by determining which subset of data will be considered when evaluating the alert conditions. It's important to carefully consider and review any filters applied to your report when setting up an alert to ensure you're monitoring the exact data you intend to track.
