how to create dynamic cohorts (i.e cohorts of users that will dynamically update as time goes by)? I dont see any dynamic sync option here, I'm asking because I need to create a dynamic sync export to clevertap, which wont work if cohort does not automatically update
Hi Niskarsh K., Please stand by as I search the Mixpanel knowledge base for an AI-powered answer. I normally take about 15 seconds or so. In case AI cannot answer your question, feel free to reach out to Mixpanel support at mixpanel.com/get-support.

To create a dynamic cohort in Mixpanel (i.e., a cohort that automatically updates as user behavior or properties change), you should use the Cohort Builder or save a cohort from a report. By default, cohorts created this way are dynamic—they continuously update based on the criteria you define. For example, if you define a cohort as "users who watched more than 10 videos in the last 7 days," the membership of this cohort will automatically update as users meet or no longer meet this condition over time. You do not need to select a "dynamic" option when creating the cohort itself; the dynamic nature is inherent to how Mixpanel cohorts work when defined by behavioral or property-based rules.Static cohorts are only created if you upload a CSV file with a fixed list of users; these do not update automatically. All other cohorts created via the UI or reports are dynamic by default and will update as user data changes Creating Cohorts.When exporting a cohort to CleverTap, you will be prompted to choose between a one-time export (static) or a recurring/dynamic sync. To ensure your export to CleverTap stays up-to-date, select the dynamic sync option during the export process. This will keep the exported cohort in CleverTap updated as the underlying Mixpanel cohort changes CleverTap Integration.Summary of steps: 1. Create your cohort in Mixpanel using the cohort builder or from a report—these are dynamic by default. 2. When exporting to CleverTap, select the dynamic/recurring sync option to ensure the export stays updated.If you do not see the dynamic sync option during export, ensure you are following the export flow as described in the CleverTap integration documentation. If the option is still missing, there may be a UI issue or permission limitation, and you may want to contact Mixpanel support for further assistance.

kapa.ai Check the attachment and tell me what should I click to create dymanic cohort
Sorry Niskarsh K., it looks like your question contains files, which I cannot process. Please reformulate your question without including any files.
kapa.ai WHere do I go to create dynamic cohort
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! đź“š
To create a dynamic cohort in Mixpanel, you can use the Cohort Builder or save a cohort from any report visualization (such as Insights, Funnels, or Retention). Here’s how you can do it: 1. Via Report Visualization: - Go to an Insights, Funnels, or Retention report. - Click any bar or point in the report and select “View Users.” - In the side panel, you’ll see the list of users for that data point. You can save this group as a cohort.2. Via the Cohort Builder: - Navigate to the Cohorts section under the Data Management tab in the top navigation bar. - Use the Cohort Builder to define your cohort based on specific event or property criteria. - Save the cohort. Cohorts created this way are dynamic by default—they will automatically update as user data changes.Cohorts created using these methods are dynamic and will update over time as users meet or no longer meet the defined criteria. Only cohorts created via CSV upload are static and do not update automatically Creating Cohorts.You do not need to select a “dynamic” option when creating a cohort in the UI; the dynamic behavior is the default for cohorts defined by rules or behaviors.

kapa.ai Are you sure or or you just joking with me?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! đź“š
Yes, I am sure. According to the official Mixpanel documentation, when you create a cohort using the Cohort Builder or by saving users from a report (such as Insights, Funnels, or Retention), the cohort is dynamic by default. This means it will automatically update as users meet or no longer meet the criteria you define—there is no need to select a separate "dynamic" option during creation. Only cohorts created via CSV upload are static and do not update automatically see documentation.So, to create a dynamic cohort, simply use the Cohort Builder or save a group of users from a report. The cohort will update over time as user data changes.

kapa.ai I wont have to manually update it everyday now right?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! đź“š
No, you will not have to manually update a cohort created using the Cohort Builder or from a report in Mixpanel. These cohorts are computed dynamically—Mixpanel automatically updates the membership of the cohort based on the criteria you set, so the cohort always reflects the current set of users who meet those conditions. This means you do not need to update it every day; Mixpanel handles this for you Creating Cohorts.The only exception is if you create a cohort by uploading a CSV file—those are static and will not update automatically. For all other methods, the cohort remains dynamic and up-to-date.

kapa.ai What would be frequency of updates?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! đź“š
The frequency at which a dynamic cohort updates in Mixpanel depends on the context: - Within Mixpanel: Dynamic cohorts update automatically as user data changes, but the documentation does not specify an exact frequency for how often the cohort membership is recalculated internally.- When exporting to integrations: The frequency of updates (syncs) depends on the integration you are exporting the cohort to. For example: - Webhooks: Cohorts are synced every 30 minutes Syncing cohorts to a custom webhook. - Most marketing integrations (e.g., MoEngage, Leanplum, Segment, Insider, Iterable, OneSignal, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, etc.): Dynamic syncs typically occur every 15 minutes, every 2 hours, or every day, depending on the specific integration. You can find the exact sync interval in the documentation for each integration.If you need the update frequency for a specific integration, please specify which one, and I can provide the exact timing from the documentation.
