Getting Insights Between Two Events in User Trials

June · 2025-08-05 14:57:43.065149+00

hi, is there a way to get insights on events that happened in between 2 events. For example, i need to know if users did a certain action during their trial period which can be marked by Event A: signed_up, and Event B: trian_ended_page.

Mixpanel is headed to Money20/20 October 26 - 29 in Las Vegas, Nevada!

Yes, Mixpanel provides a way to analyze the events that occur between two anchor events using the Flows report. You can set up a Flows report with your two key events—Event A (e.g., "signed_up") and Event B (e.g., "trial_ended_page")—as anchor steps. Mixpanel will then show you the most common paths users take between these two events, including all intermediate actions.Here’s how you can do this: 1. Add Multiple Anchor Steps: In the Flows report, add "signed_up" as your first anchor event and "trial_ended_page" as your second anchor event in the query builder. 2. View Intermediate Events: Mixpanel will display the most common events that users perform between these two anchor events. These intermediate events can be any tracked event or custom event in your project. 3. Expand Steps: You can use the "+" buttons in the visualization or adjust the number of steps in the query builder to see more events before, after, or between your anchor events. 4. Analyze Drop-offs: The report will also show where users drop off between the two events, helping you understand which actions are most or least common in the trial period.This approach allows you to gain insights into user behavior during the trial period, specifically focusing on what users do between signing up and reaching the trial ended page. For more details, see the documentation on Flows and its basic features: Flows: See frequent paths taken by users to or from any event.If you want to further segment or filter the results (e.g., by user properties or event properties), you can use the filter and breakdown options in the Flows report as well.Note: If you need to analyze specific actions (e.g., "did users perform action X between A and B?"), you can look for that event in the intermediate steps shown in the Flows visualization or use breakdowns to segment by that action.For more advanced path analysis, you can also use the "Top Paths" visualization in Flows, which condenses the flows into unique paths between your anchor events, making it easier to see the most common sequences of actions users take during the trial period Top Paths in Flows.

is there a way to see this insights? I need to know if certain events that users do between the anchor events correlate to their conversion to paid subscribers
