If the events for each user are as follows, If the retention event is test1→test2, which event applies to each of them? userA:①test1→②test1→③test2→④test2 userB:①test1→②test3→③test2 userC:①test1→②test3→③test1→④test2
Hi Natsuki I., Please stand by as I search the Mixpanel knowledge base for an AI-powered answer. I normally take about 15 seconds or so.

Feel free to ask a follow-up question once I've answered by mentioning me with @kapa.ai
In the context of Mixpanel, a retention event is defined as a sequence of actions (events) that a user performs. If the retention event is defined as test1→test2
, it means that the user must perform test1
followed by test2
for the retention event to apply.Given this definition, let's analyze each user:- userA: The sequence of events is ①test1→②test1→③test2→④test2
. Here, the user performs test1
followed by test2
(from event ② to ③), so the retention event test1→test2
applies to userA.- userB: The sequence of events is ①test1→②test3→③test2
. Here, the user performs test1
but it's not directly followed by test2
(there's a test3
in between). So, the retention event test1→test2
does not apply to userB.- userC: The sequence of events is ①test1→②test3→③test1→④test2
. Here, the user performs test1
followed by test2
(from event ③ to ④), so the retention event test1→test2
applies to userC.Please note that this interpretation is based on the assumption that the retention event test1→test2
requires test1
to be directly followed by test2
. If the definition of the retention event allows for other events to occur in between test1
and test2
, then the analysis would be different.
