kapa.ai can I merge 2 events into one?

Please stand by Dr. S. as I search the knowledge base. I normally take about 15 seconds or so. 👋

Yes, you can merge two events into one in Mixpanel. There are two main ways to achieve this: 1. Custom Events: You can create a custom event that virtually combines multiple events into a single event for analysis purposes. For example, you can merge “User Signup” and “Account Created” into a single custom event called “Signup.” This is done in the Mixpanel UI and does not affect your raw data; it simply allows you to analyze these events together in reports like Funnels, Insights, and Retention. You can also filter by properties when defining the custom event. Learn more about creating custom events in the Mixpanel documentation.2. Merging Events in Lexicon: Project owners can merge events directly in Lexicon. For example, if your iOS app sends an event named “Purchase” and your Android app sends “purchase item,” you can merge them into a single event called “Purchase.” This streamlines reporting and analysis, as Mixpanel will treat both as the same event. This merge does not affect the raw data and can be undone if needed. More details are available in the Lexicon documentation.Both methods allow you to simplify your event structure and reporting without altering the underlying event data.
