Tracking Monthly New Users and Actions: Seeking Assistance
đ Maybe someone can help me with this one. I'm blocked. How can I plot:
new users each month
new users each month that performed a certain action that month
Lamei T.¡¡Hi, for the 1st , have you tried leveraging User Profiles?
Set a "User Created Date" Property: When a user first signs up, send a $set call to Mixpanel's API to add a "User Created Date" property to their profile.
Filter by "User Created Date": You can then filter users based on this property to identify those who were created within a specific time frame (e.g., new users this week).
OR
introduce an event like "new users" that records the user profiles/ ids per MIN (user created date)
then you just need to simply select that event, and count distinct the "new users" per month

Rge. the 2nd, I usually apply
Use "First Time" Property: Mixpanel automatically adds a "First Time" property to every event. This property is true if the event is the first time a user has performed that specific action. You can use this in conjunction with your "new users" event to identify new users.
OR create a cohort for those users

The problem comes with defining the cohort of new users

If you define new users cohort as first seen in the last 30 days you get this plot

Which certainly does not show the amount of users that were first seen each month

Lamei T. thanks for your response. I was hoping to not need new properties as then I would not be able to apply the analysis retroactively.... unless I merge profiles with an imported table. Trying to avoid this. Also was assuming that first seen was the path to go but behaves strangely as explained above.
