To permanently save a custom event in Mixpanel that you can reuse (for example, a page click event where the URL equals 'x'), follow these steps:
1. Create the Custom Event:
- In an Insights, Funnels, Retention, or Flows report, open the Metrics menu (e.g., “Select Metrics” or “Select Step/Events”).
- Select “Create New” and then choose “Custom Event.”
- Select the base event (e.g., your page click event).
- Add a filter to specify the URL property equals 'x'.
- Name your custom event (e.g., “Page Click on X”).
- Click Save.
2. Make the Custom Event Reusable:
- By default, the custom event is private to you. To make it reusable and available to others, click Save and Share when creating or editing the custom event.
3. Manage and Edit Custom Events:
- You can view, edit, or delete your custom events in the Lexicon under the “Custom Events” tab. Here, you can also share the event with your team if you haven’t already.
This process ensures your custom event is permanently saved and available for use in any report going forward. Custom events are virtual events and can be used across Mixpanel, including in cohort definitions, funnels, and more. For your use case, just ensure you filter the event by the URL property as needed during setup Custom Events: Combine multiple events for analyses.
