To set up an alert in Mixpanel for a metric based on a numeric field (e.g., when the value goes above a certain threshold), follow these steps: 1. Create and Save Your Report: First, create an Insights or Funnels report that tracks the numeric metric you care about. Make sure to save the report before proceeding.2. Open the Alerts Menu: Click the three dots icon (overflow menu) in the top right corner of your saved report, go to Alerts, and select Create Alert.3. Configure the Alert: - Enter a name for your alert. - If your report has multiple events or breakdowns, select the specific event or segment you want to monitor. - Under Alert Criteria, choose the Custom Threshold option. - Set the condition to Above and enter the numeric threshold value you want to monitor. The alert will trigger when the metric exceeds this value.4. Set Notification Preferences: Choose how you want to be notified (email or Slack) and set the notification frequency (e.g., hourly, daily).5. Save the Alert: Finalize and save your alert settings.You will now receive notifications whenever the metric’s value goes above your specified threshold. This process works for any numeric field in your reports, such as revenue, count, or custom numeric properties.For more details, see the official documentation: Alerts: Get notified about anomalies in your data.

I want to creata insight report with graph showing users receiving more a particular events more than certain number of times, how should I do that?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! 📚
To create an Insights report in Mixpanel that shows users who have received a particular event more than a certain number of times, you should use the Frequency per User computed property. Here’s how you can do it: 1. Open an Insights Report: Go to the Insights report builder. 2. Select the Event: Choose the event you want to analyze. 3. Apply a Filter Using Frequency per User: - Add a filter. - Select the computed property Frequency per User for your chosen event. - Set the filter condition to “greater than” your desired threshold (e.g., more than 5 times). 4. Choose Your Measurement: You can measure the number of users who meet this condition. 5. Visualize the Data: Select your preferred chart type (e.g., bar or line chart) to visualize the number of users who received the event more than the specified number of times.This approach segments your users based on how many times they performed the event, allowing you to focus on highly engaged users or power users.For more details, see the documentation on computed properties and frequency per user: Computed Properties and Insights Measurements.
