To display custom events in an activity feed in Mixpanel, you can follow these steps:

1. First, ensure you have created custom events in your Mixpanel project. Custom events allow you to combine multiple events or filter events based on specific properties.

2. Once you have custom events set up, they will automatically be considered for display in the activity feed, specifically in the User Profile Activity Feed.

3. To view custom events in the activity feed: - Navigate to the Users report in Mixpanel - Find and select a specific user profile - In the user's profile, you'll see an Activity Feed section

Custom events will be displayed in the Activity Feed along with regular events. They are annotated with a custom event icon to distinguish them from regular events.

It's important to note that:

1. Mixpanel automatically considers the most used and common custom events in your project for display in the activity feed. 2. Only custom events that are shared with all users in the project are shown in the activity feed. 3. Mixpanel uses the 50 most frequently queried custom events in the project for this analysis.

If you want to see the underlying events that make up a custom event, you can expand the custom event by its name in the activity feed.

For more detailed information on custom events in Mixpanel, you can refer to the Custom Events documentation and Flows documentation.
