Tracking User Action Frequencies in a Session: Button Clicks Guide

How do I track the number of times a user completes the same action in a session? (ie: clicks a 'watch now' button on different product profiles where the button press triggers a 'Button Pressed' event with properties for CTA: Watch video)

To track the number of times a user completes the same action in a session, such as clicking a 'watch now' button, you can use the "Frequency per User" feature in Mixpanel. This feature allows you to compute the frequency of an event, which in your case would be the 'Button Pressed' event.Here's how you can set it up: 1. Select the Event: Choose the 'Button Pressed' event that you want to analyze.2. Use Frequency per User: In the Mixpanel interface, you can use the "Frequency per User" option to calculate how many times this event occurs per user within a session. This will allow you to see how many times users are clicking the 'watch now' button during their session.3. Aggregation Options: You can further refine your analysis by selecting aggregation options such as average, distribution, median, percentiles, minimum, and maximum. This will help you understand the distribution of button presses across different users.For more detailed instructions, you can refer to the Behavioral Properties section in the Mixpanel documentation.If you need to filter or segment this data further, you can use the properties associated with the event, such as the CTA property, to focus on specific actions like 'Watch video'.For additional guidance, you can explore the Insights report to visualize trends and compositions within your data, which can help you better understand user behavior related to this event.
