So I have 200 page view events and I want to consolidate based on the different features to capture different feature journey, does this implementation make sense and how do I communicate to the wider group if so that this is the best approach? Reduce noise when using flow in Mixpanel

Your approach to consolidate page view events based on different features to capture feature journeys makes sense, and it aligns well with Mixpanel's best practices for event tracking. This implementation can help reduce noise when using the Flow report in Mixpanel. Here's how you can implement this and communicate it to your wider group: 1. Implementation:
Instead of tracking 200 separate page view events, you can consolidate them into a single "Page Viewed" event with properties that describe the specific feature or page. This approach is recommended in Mixpanel's best practices: Events: Capture behaviors and actions suggests: "If your goal is to analyze at high-level how users traverse through different pages: instead of tracking multiple events Home Page Viewed and Pricing Page Viewed, track a Page Viewed event with a Page Name property set to "/home" or "/pricing"."2. Communicating to the wider group: When presenting this approach to your team, you can highlight the following benefits: a) Reduced noise: By consolidating events, you'll have cleaner data in your Flow reports, making it easier to analyze user journeys.b) Easier analysis: With a single "Page Viewed" event and descriptive properties, you can use Mixpanel's filtering and breakdown features more effectively to analyze specific feature journeys.c) Flexibility: This approach allows you to add new pages or features without creating new events, making your tracking more scalable and maintainable.d) Alignment with best practices: This implementation follows Mixpanel's recommended best practices for event tracking.To further support your case, you can refer to Mixpanel's documentation on Custom Events, which allows you to combine multiple events for analysis. This feature can be useful if you need to group certain page views together for specific analyses.Lastly, to help your team understand the benefits of this approach in practice, you could create example reports or dashboards in Mixpanel that demonstrate how this consolidated tracking makes it easier to analyze user journeys and feature adoption.By implementing this approach and clearly communicating its benefits, you should be able to effectively reduce noise in your Mixpanel Flow reports while providing more valuable insights into your users' feature journeys.
