Yes, you can filter for the first purchase event by unique user in Mixpanel using the First Time Filter feature. This allows you to analyze only the first instance of an event performed by each user.To filter for first purchase events: 1. In your Mixpanel report (such as Insights, Funnels, or Flows), select your purchase event
2. Click on the inline action menu for that event
3. Select "Add filter"
4. Choose "First Time" from the filter optionsAs explained in the documentation, "Mixpanel computes this on-the-fly by scanning each user's history to determine if this was the first instance of the event performed by the user, based on timestamp." This helps you answer questions like how many users make a purchase for the first time in a given period or analyze user behavior around their first purchase.Mixpanel Advanced Features provides more details about this functionality.Note that if there's a tie in timestamps (e.g., multiple purchase events in the same second), all those events will be considered "first time" and will match the filter.
