To create an alert in Mixpanel when the count of checkout_success events during the last 7 days is less than 5 (or another threshold), follow these steps:
1. Create and Save an Insights Report:
- Build an Insights report that counts the checkout_success event.
- Set the date range to "Last 7 days".
2. Set Up the Alert:
- Save your report.
- Click the three dots (overflow menu) in the top right corner of the report.
- Select Alerts and then Create Alert.
- Enter a name for your alert.
- For the alert criteria, choose the Custom Threshold option.
- Set the condition to Below and enter your threshold value (e.g., 5).
- Set your notification frequency (e.g., daily or weekly).
- Choose your notification delivery method (email or Slack).
3. Save the Alert:
- Complete the setup and save your alert. You will now be notified if the count of checkout_success events in the last 7 days drops below your specified threshold.
Note: Custom threshold alerts are available on all paid plans, but the number of alerts you can set may depend on your plan. Anomaly Detection (automatic thresholding) is only available on Enterprise plans, but for your use case (a specific threshold), the custom threshold alert is the right choice Docs: Alerts.
For more details, see the official documentation: Alerts: Get notified about anomalies in your data.
