To find out the number of users who performed a specific action within 7 days of sign up in Mixpanel, you can use the Retention report. Here's how you can set this up: 1. Go to the Retention report in Mixpanel. 2. Set up your retention behavior: - For the first event, choose "Sign Up" (or whatever event represents your sign-up action). - For the second event, choose the specific action you're interested in. 3. Set the retention criteria to "On or After" time interval. 4. Set the time unit to "Days" and the retention length to 7 days. 5. For measurement, choose "Unique Users".This setup will show you how many users performed the specific action within 7 days of signing up.You can also use custom retention brackets for more flexibility. As mentioned in the Mixpanel documentation on Custom Retention Brackets, you can set up custom intervals. In this case, you could set up a single bracket for days 0-7.Remember that the "On or After" retention criteria will count users who perform the action on or after a specific day, which is ideal for your use case of "within 7 days".If you need more detailed analysis or want to save this group of users, you can use the View Users feature to see the list of users who meet these criteria and potentially save them as a cohort for further analysis.
