Filtering Profiles by Last Seen Status in Days Using Parameters

Juan D. · 2024-10-29T23:45:34.552Z

how can I filter profiles that have been “$last_seen” in the last xx days using either the `where` parameter or a combination of `behaviors` and `as_of_timestamp`? Can’t find examples anywhere.

To filter profiles based on the "$last_seen" property in Mixpanel, we need to consider a few important points: 1. The "$last_seen" property is actually called "Updated at" in Mixpanel's user interface, as mentioned in the User Profile documentation.2. This property only changes when the profile is updated, not when a user performs a new event.3. Mixpanel doesn't provide a direct way to filter profiles based on "$last_seen" using the where parameter or a combination of behaviors and as_of_timestamp.However, there is an alternative approach you can use to achieve a similar result: Instead of using "$last_seen", you can use the "$mp_first_event_time" property, which is a reserved profile property in Mixpanel. This property represents the time of the user's very first event in Mixpanel and can be used to filter/segment reports by users who were "new" in a particular timeframe.To filter profiles that have been active in the last XX days, you could create a cohort or use a filter in your reports with a condition like: "$mp_first_event_time is in the last XX days"This approach won't give you exactly the same result as filtering by "$last_seen", but it will help you identify users who have had their first interaction with your product within the specified time frame.If you need more precise control over user activity, you might want to consider using Behavioral Properties to create a custom property based on user activity, which you can then use for filtering and segmentation.Hmm, I do not have enough information to provide a specific code example or more detailed instructions on how to implement this filter using the where parameter or behaviors and as_of_timestamp. If you need more specific guidance, you might want to consult Mixpanel's official documentation or reach out to their support team.
