Databricks Pipeline Integration is now Generally Available

The Databricks export destination for Data Pipelines is now Generally Available.Since launching in Private Beta, we’ve worked with early customers to harden reliability and polish the setup experience. It’s ready for production workloads.

What you can do with it

Export your Mixpanel event data directly to your Databricks workspace via Unity Catalog Managed Volumes — no third-party ETL tools or custom infrastructure required. Mixpanel loads raw events into a single-column table and automatically creates a typed view on top, so your data team can start querying with standard SQL immediately.A few things that make this integration particularly useful:
  • Works across all Databricks clouds — AWS, GCP, and Azure are all supported
  • Date-clustered tables — raw tables use liquid clustering on event_date, so date-range queries are fast without manual optimization
  • Static IP support — works with IP allowlisting if your Databricks workspace has network restrictions
  • Serverless-friendly — pairs well with Serverless SQL Warehouses for fast startup and pay-per-use pricing
If your analytics and data science teams are already working in Databricks, this is the simplest way to get your Mixpanel data into that environment without stitching together intermediate storage or custom export scripts.The Databricks destination is available to any Mixpanel customer with the Data Pipelines add-on package.Get started with the Databricks integration.

Stripe Projects: set up Mixpanel without leaving your CLI

When you’re building with Stripe, adding analytics shouldn’t mean stopping to create a separate account. Mixpanel is now available in Stripe Projects — developers and AI agents can provision and configure Mixpanel directly from the Stripe Projects CLI, with account creation, authentication, and plan selection all handled in one place.With this integration, you can:
  • Provision without context-switching: Set up a Mixpanel account and project from the Stripe CLI. There’s no separate signup flow and no manual implementation.
  • Let your agent handle it: AI agents assembling a project stack can now add Mixpanel automatically. Credentials flow directly to wherever they’re needed, with no human intervention required.
  • Go from zero to tracking fast: Once provisioned, you get a fully configured Mixpanel project ready to receive events — skip the setup and start shipping.
Search for Mixpanel in the Stripe App Marketplace or run the Stripe Projects CLI to discover and provision Mixpanel directly. See the Stripe Projects documentation for setup instructions.Note: Available for Free and Growth plans. Enterprise provisioning via Stripe Projects is not currently supported.

Custom Roles: Granular project-level permissions

Custom Roles let you create specialized access profiles beyond the four default project roles (Owner, Admin, Analyst, Consumer). Define granular permissions tailored to specific job functions or workflows — each project supports up to 5 Custom Roles.With Custom Roles, you can:
  • Define precise access: Configure permissions across six categories — Analysis, Feature Flags and Experimentation, Data Management, Data Access/Exports/Alerts, Data Sources and Definitions, and Settings and Notifications.
  • Start from templates: Use an existing role as a starting point and adjust permissions as needed.
  • Copy roles across projects: Clone a Custom Role to another project in the same organization.
  • Assign to project members, service accounts and teams: Custom Roles work with service accounts and organization-level teams for bulk role assignment.
Classified Data Access changes: Previously managed via a separate per-user toggle, classified data access is now a permission within roles. No default role — including Owner and Admin — has classified data viewing access by default. This ensures access is always an explicit decision.Custom Roles is available to organizations on Enterprise plans. See our pricing page for more details.For full documentation, see Roles & Permissions → Custom Roles.

Glean integration: Mixpanel insights inside your enterprise AI

Mixpanel is now live as an MCP app in Glean Assistant. You can ask Glean about conversion rates, retention trends, and feature adoption and get live Mixpanel data back — in the same conversation as your Slack threads, Jira tickets, and Google Docs. No separate tab. No query builder.With this integration, you can:
  • Root-cause incidents faster: Ask “conversion dropped last Thursday — what happened?” and get Mixpanel’s event-level breakdown alongside the deploy log and the Slack thread about the bug, all in one answer.
  • Analyze launches in context: Ask how a new flow is performing and Glean auto-brackets the right date range based on when it shipped — no manual date-picking required.
  • Put data in reach of everyone: Non-analysts — CS leads, marketing, execs — can get product metrics in the tools they already live in, without learning the query builder.
Mixpanel is available in Glean’s out-of-the-box MCP Apps template library today. Search for Mixpanel in the Glean connectors directory and follow the setup instructions to connect your workspace.Note: This integration is available to all Mixpanel plans at no additional cost.

Postgres Connector is now Generally Available

The Postgres Connector is now Generally Available.Since launching in Public Beta earlier this year, we’ve worked closely with early users to refine reliability, performance, and setup experience. It’s ready for production.

What you can do with it

Connect your Postgres database directly to Mixpanel and start analyzing your transactional data alongside your product usage — no ETL pipelines, no CDPs, no custom scripts required.This is especially useful if your most important data (user records, subscription state, AI model logs) lives in a transactional database and hasn’t been making it into your analytics. The Postgres Connector closes that gap with minimal setup.Works with all major managed Postgres providers, including Amazon RDS, Google Cloud SQL, Supabase, Neon, and DigitalOcean Managed PostgreSQL.Get started with the Postgres Connector.

Alerts: Take control with scheduling, history, and webhooks

A well-configured alert can be the difference between catching a problem before it becomes a crisis and spotting an opportunity before it passes. That’s why we’ve enhanced Mixpanel Alerts to give you more precision over when alerts fire, more visibility into how they’re working, and more flexibility in where notifications go.With these improvements, you can:
  • Schedule when alerts evaluate: Notification windows let you define specific days, time ranges, or multiple schedules with different thresholds, so alerts fire when something is genuinely unexpected — not when your data follows its normal pattern
  • Test before you enable: Run a retroactive simulation over any time window to see how often an alert would have fired and at what values, before it reaches anyone’s inbox
  • See the full trigger history: Every alert trigger is now logged with the exact metric value at that moment, so you can spot patterns without digging through email or Slack
  • Manage everything in one place: The enhanced alerts management hub shows status, last triggered time, trigger count, and sync health for every alert in your project
  • Know when alerts break: When a report change breaks an alert, Mixpanel notifies the owner immediately rather than going dark
  • Route notifications via webhook: Send alerts to any HTTP endpoint in your stack: incident management platforms, workflow tools like Zapier or Make, and custom dashboards
  • More context in every notification: Alert emails and Slack messages now include a trend chart at trigger time
Less noise, more signal. Learn moreNote: Alerts improvements are available on all plans. Growth plan customers are limited to 5 alerts per project. Enterprise customers have unlimited alerts.

Feature Flags: Target users using real-time behavior with Runtime Events

Target feature variants based on what users do, not just who they are.Mixpanel Feature Flags supports several targeting options, including cohorts (audiences based on behavior or attributes) and runtime properties (conditions like OS, app version, or browser).With Runtime Events, you can target users based on specific Mixpanel events in real time. When a user triggers a designated event, they receive the active variant on the next flag evaluation, without waiting for a cohort refresh.This unlocks serving features based on time-sensitive, behavior-driven patterns such as:
  • Onboarding flows: Show tutorial content after a user completes their first action
  • Progressive feature unlocking: Unlock advanced features after users complete key milestones
  • Conditional promotions: Display special offers after a user makes their first purchase
  • Behavior-gated experiments: Run experiments only on users who have demonstrated engagement
You can also fine-tune Runtime Events with optional settings like First Time triggers (with session vs. indefinite duration) and event property filters (for example, triggering only on purchases over a certain amount or specific page paths).Availability: Runtime Events are designed for client-side SDKs that can monitor events in real time. Server-side implementations are not supported.
  • Web SDK: available now
  • Mobile SDKs: coming soon

Feature Flags: Exposures on User Profiles

See which feature flags a user was exposed to — and which variant they saw — directly on their profile.With Mixpanel Feature Flags, you can target users via Dynamic Configs, Experiments, and Feature Gates. When something looks off, the fastest way to debug is knowing exactly which flags a user saw and which variant they were served.Until now, validating targeting or troubleshooting support issues often meant digging through reports and stitching together the answer manually.Now, User Profiles include a new Feature Flags section that shows the enabled flags a user was most recently exposed to, including:
  • Variant assignment
  • Flag type (Experiment, Feature Gate, Dynamic Config)
  • A searchable table that loads progressively as you scroll
This makes it much easier to confirm rollout behavior, validate experiment enrollment, and triage unexpected end-user experiences. Learn more →

Security Protocol Update: Phasing Out TLS 1.0 and 1.1

To ensure we provide the most robust protection against evolving threats, we are upgrading our network security configuration.Starting April 2026, we will be deprecating support for legacy TLS 1.0 and 1.1 protocols and configuring TLS in accordance with NIST SP 800-52 Rev 2 across our APIs and web app.After this date, all API requests must use at least TLS 1.2. Using at least TLS 1.2 is a recommended security best practice to improve data integrity and maintain compliance with industry standards.

Updated TLS Protocols Support

TLS Protocol VersionSupport StatusNotes
TLS 1.0❌ DisabledNo longer supported
TLS 1.1❌ DisabledNo longer supported
TLS 1.2✅ EnabledMinimum supported version
TLS 1.3✅ EnabledPreferred where available

Updated Mixpanel Cipher Suite Support by TLS version

Mixpanel will also mirror the commonly accepted standards for TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 Cipher Suite compatibility, as listed in this external resource.
TLS Version✅ Supported Cipher Suite
v1.2TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384

v1.3TLS_AES128_GCM_SHA256
TLS_AES256_GCM_SHA384
TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256

What’s the impact of this change?

Any data sent to Mixpanel’s Ingestion API endpoints after April 1, 2026 via TLS 1.0 and 1.1 will not be accepted, meaning you will not receive analytics information from users who engage with your applications using the 1.0 and 1.1 versions of TLS.While the vast majority of modern traffic uses TLS 1.2 or 1.3, data can be sent to Mixpanel via TLS 1.0 and 1.1 when end-users access your application from older browsers or devices with operating systems that don’t support or enforce modern TLS versions.

Commonly Affected Examples

The following browsers and OS may still use TLS 1.0 or 1.1:
CategoryImpacted Versions / EnvironmentsExamples & Notes
MobileAndroid < 5.0 (pre-Lollipop)2012 Samsung Galaxy S4
iOS < 92010 iPhone 4
Desktop OSWindows XP, Vista, early Windows 7Without critical security updates
macOS < 10.9Legacy Apple systems
Browsers / RuntimesInternet Explorer ≤ 10
Firefox < 78
Chrome < 84
Java 6 / early Java 7
Python < 2.7.9OpenSSL without TLS 1.2 support
Old OpenSSL versions (< 1.0.1)
Embedded / IoTLegacy firmwareHardcoded TLS stacks / Non-upgradable
Protocol SpecificDevices supporting only SSLv3 / TLS 1.0
Please Note: While we’ve listed some common versions above, compatibility can vary. For example, Chrome 30-32 started supporting TLS 1.2.For a comprehensive list of environments that may still use TLS 1.0/1.1, we recommend visiting the Browser/OS Official Documentation or referring to the TLS Support Version History (External Resource).

How to identify affected users

More than 99% of Mixpanel Web and API Traffic use TLS 1.2+; however, to assess how many users are potentially affected by this change in your projects:
  1. In an Insights report, select All Events as the primary metric
  2. Break down by the following properties, depending on your tracking SDK(s)
    • JavaScript (Web): Browser ($browser) and Browser Version ($browser_version)
    • Mobile: Operating System ($os), OS Version ($os_version)
Tip: You can create a Custom Property to quickly bucket users. For example, the following Custom Property can help check against Chrome and Firefox.
Custom Prop Example
  • Client-Side Tracking: Where possible, we recommend encouraging users to update their browsers or OS to a version that communicates using TLS 1.2+.
  • Server-Side Tracking: Verify your server environments are configured to use TLS 1.2+.
  • Protocol Migration: If your application currently utilizes legacy TLS versions, we recommend deprecating them in favor of TLS 1.2+ to ensure long-term security and compatibility.
  • Proxying: We understand that some devices have hardware/software limitations that may not be able to use TLS 1.2+. In these cases, if you would like to maintain tracking for these devices, you could consider implementing a proxy server that accepts TLS 1.0/1.1 from end users and forwards the tracking data to Mixpanel Ingestion APIs via TLS 1.2+.

Support & Inquiries

We have notified users whose projects were detected receiving legacy TLS 1.0/1.1 Ingestion traffic. If you have questions about your project’s compatibility or need general assistance, please reach out to Mixpanel Support.For technical questions about TLS protocols or broader security questions, please contact our GRC Team at grc@mixpanel.com.

Postgres Connectors now in Public Beta

New: Postgres Connector (Public Beta)

We’re pleased to announce the Postgres Connector, now available in Public Beta — a simpler way to bring your transactional data into Mixpanel.

What it does

The Postgres Connector enables you to connect your Postgres database directly to Mixpanel and begin analyzing your data without needing intermediate tools or custom pipelines. This means you can get your most important user and product data into Mixpanel much faster and with less engineering effort.Unlike traditional ingestion approaches that require CDPs, ETL tools, or custom scripts, the Postgres Connector is built to work right from your database to Mixpanel. Early-stage teams, especially those without a data warehouse, can now include more complete data in their analytics workflows with minimal setup.

Why this matters

Many small and growing customers have told us it’s hard to get complete user context into Mixpanel because:
  • Existing options often require costly third-party tools.
  • Building custom sync scripts takes significant engineering time.
  • Important data lives only in transactional databases.
That’s especially true for AI-centric products where app and model usage logs are often stored in Postgres and aren’t feeding into analytics today. The Postgres Connector helps close that gap.

How it works

  • Connect your Postgres database directly from the Mixpanel UI.
  • Sync tables from Postgres into Mixpanel without intermediate services.
  • Compatible with all Postgres versions and major managed providers including:
    • DigitalOcean Managed PostgreSQL
    • Google Cloud SQL
    • Supabase
    • Neon
    • Amazon RDS
    • and more!
This connector builds on Mixpanel’s Warehouse Connectors framework, which already supports popular data warehouses like Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, and Databricks. With this beta, we’re extending those same sync capabilities to transactional databases and bringing more of your source-of-truth data into Mixpanel for analysis. Learn more and get started here.

Try it today

The Postgres Connector is now available in Public Beta. We encourage you to give it a try. It’s designed to make your data ingestion smoother and your analytics richer, with less friction.

AI-Powered Event Suggestions for Templates

Setting up a new board just got a little easier.We’ve introduced AI-Powered Event Suggestions for Templates to help streamline the process of mapping your events to templates, reducing guesswork and saving time during setup.

Smarter event recommendations

When selecting a template, it’s not always obvious which events in your project correspond to each slot. Now, Mixpanel automatically suggests the best-fit events based on your existing data.You can accept the recommendations as-is or swap in different events at any time, you’re always in control.This update is designed to smooth out one of the more common onboarding friction points: figuring out what events you have and how to use them. With AI-powered suggestions, getting from setup to insight takes less manual effort, and less second-guessing.You can give it a try the next time you create a board from a template.

Deprecation Notice: Legacy US-to-EU Data Forwarding ends July 2026 for EU Projects

Starting July 2026, we will be sunsetting the legacy automated US-to-EU Data Forwarding process for EU Data Residency projects to align with data residency best practices and improve ingestion performance. After this date, data sent to our US Ingestion Servers for EU Data Residency projects will no longer be forwarded, which can result in data loss.

Is my project affected?

  • EU Projects created before August 18, 2025: If your implementation sends data to Mixpanel’s US Ingestion Servers (api.mixpanel.com), you may be affected by this change. Please review the action required below.
  • EU Projects created on or after August 18, 2025: These projects already require direct ingestion to our EU Servers. No action is needed.

Required Action for EU Projects sending data to US Servers

To avoid any disruption to data ingestion for your EU Projects, please review and update your implementations to use the dedicated Ingestion API EU Subdomain (api-eu.mixpanel.com). This ensures your data is routed directly to its intended destination.Guidance
  1. Verify which projects have EU Data Residency: Navigate to Organization Settings > Projects and click into each Project to confirm whether Data Residency is set to EU.
  2. Identify Traffic: In your EU Project(s), create an Insights Report and break down “All Events” by the API Endpoint ($mp_api_endpoint ) event property to determine which Ingestion Servers your events came from. $mp_api_endpoint=api-eu.mixpanel.com is EU and $mp_api_endpoint=api.mixpanel.com or api-js.mixpanel.com is US.
  3. Update and Review Implementation: If your project has EU Data Residency, please follow the guides below that apply to your setup to ensure your data routes to our EU Servers.
If you are using Mixpanel’s SDKs, the documentation linked below has instructions on updating your implementation code to EU:If you are using Mixpanel’s Ingestion API Endpoints, Proxy Server, or an Implementation not listed above:If you are using Partner Integrations that send data into Mixpanel (e.g., CDPs, Messaging, AB Testing):
  • Please contact the Partner’s Support Team for instructions on how to set the integration to point to Mixpanel’s EU Server URL.
If you have questions about which specific projects we have observed US Traffic on or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Mixpanel’s Support Team.

Feature Flags — Group Cohort Targeting

Feature flag rollout groups can now target group cohorts — cohorts built on a group key dimension such as Company, Organization, or any custom group entity.What’s new:
  • Target groups, not just users: When a flag’s Variant Assignment Key is set to a group key (e.g., company_id), the cohort builder automatically shifts its identity-dimension to that group (instead of users).
  • B2B-ready rollouts: Build cohorts like “Enterprise companies with >50 seats” or “Organizations on the Pro plan” and target them directly for rollouts.
  • Same cohort builder: Group cohorts are created in the existing cohort builder, scoped to the relevant group key — no new tools to learn.
  • Combine with runtime targeting: Layer runtime properties (e.g., platform, region) on top of group cohort targeting with AND conditions for precise control.
Group cohorts follow the same ~2-hour refresh cadence as user cohorts.Learn more about Group Cohort Targeting →

Custom Alerts via webhook

Custom Alerts can now send notifications via webhooks, enabling you to integrate Mixpanel alerts with any third-party platform or custom system in your stack.Previously, alerts were limited to Email and Slack notifications. With webhook support, you can now route alert notifications to incident management tools, custom dashboards, monitoring systems, or any HTTP endpoint you configure.What’s new:
  • Project-level webhook configuration: Add and manage webhook endpoints in Settings > Integrations > Webhooks
  • HTTP Basic Authentication: Secure your webhooks with username and password authentication
  • Test connection: Verify webhook connectivity before saving your configuration
  • Easy alert integration: Select your configured webhook from the “via Webhook” dropdown when creating or editing alerts
When an alert triggers, Mixpanel automatically sends a JSON payload containing alert details to your specified endpoint.More details on how to get started in our docs.

Annotations Timeline: Visualize Your Business Context

Annotations enable you to add time-stamped notes, allowing you to view metrics with the context that matters to you. We’ve seen teams add valuable context about everything from product launches, marketing campaigns, outages, and holidays.Now, you can visualize all your annotations in a dedicated timeline view that shows how different types of events align across your data.

Timeline Visualization

A new chart view displays annotations grouped by tag in separate rows, making it easy to see patterns and relationships across different event types. See at a glance when your Marketing campaigns overlapped with Product releases, or how Outages coincided with traffic spikes.

Automatic Alignment

The timeline automatically syncs with your main chart, working seamlessly with both line and column visualizations to show annotations exactly where events occurred. No manual configuration needed - the timeline stays perfectly aligned as you zoom, change date ranges, or switch chart types.

Interactive Exploration

  • Hover over any annotation to preview its details
  • Click to view the full annotation list, edit existing notes, or create new ones right from the timeline
  • Filter by tag to focus on specific event types and hide the rest

Tag-Based Organization

Use the tag filter to quickly analyze how particular categories of events impact your metrics. Focus on just Marketing campaigns, just Product releases, or any combination of tags that helps you tell your story.Learn more →If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out to our Support Team.

Session Replay: Frustration Signals

Find user friction fast—view frustration signals in replays and analyze them in your reports

Mixpanel now detects Rage Clicks and Dead Clicks automatically in Session Replay (web only), helping you instantly see where users experience friction.

  • Dead Click: When a user clicks an interactive element that produces no visible response
These frustration signals are automatically tracked as events:
  • [Auto] Dead Click
  • [Auto] Rage Click
You can analyze them in reports, funnels, and dashboards just like any other event data. Find the “why” behind drop-offs and fix issues before they impact more users.Note: Rage Clicks and Dead Clicks are currently only available on web.

Filter at Item Level

Mixpanel now allows you to choose “Matching items” to filter and aggregate only the list elements that meet your condition. Previously, when filtering on list properties like cart, filters used to apply to the entire list — not the individual items inside it. For example, if you filtered for cart.category = Garden, Mixpanel would include the entire cart’s revenue if just one item was from Garden, even if the rest were not.For example, if you filter on cart.sale_price > 25 and were aggregating by taking the sum of cart.price then the sum would only be on elements that have cart.sale_price > 25.

Pin Filters to Boards

Mixpanel has new customization options for the filters applied to your Boards. These Board-wide filter settings give you more control and flexibility over how people interact with your Boards.Board-wide filter settings:
  • Limit Filter Values: Improve Board clarity by limiting the number of filter values displayed. This is particularly helpful when you have a filter with a large number of values, allowing you to show only the most relevant options. For example, limit a “Country” filter to only include countries within a specific region.
  • Start Filter with Nothing Selected: Guide users towards specific filtering options by pinning a filter option to the top of a board without applying any filter values. This gives anyone using the Board quick access to a filter without automatically updating the data in the Board for all users. For example, pin a “Region” filter to a board with nothing selected. By default, users will see global data and will have quick access to filter the reports down to a particular region.

Merge data from different events on-the-fly with Borrowed Properties

Link to DemoIntroducing Borrowed Properties, where you can ‘borrow’ a property from another event on-the-fly and leverage it for analysis as though you’ve tracked it all along. No re-tracking or complicated joins required.Here’s some scenarios where Borrowed Properties makes life a whole lot easier:

Merging data from client-side to server-side

  • Scenario: You want to understand which restaurant category leads to the most confirmed purchases.
    • “Order placed” is a client-side event that has a property called restaurant category.
    • “Transaction completed” is the server-side event of interest that you’d like to break down by restaurant category.
  • Solution: Borrow the restaurant category property from “Order placed” onto “Transaction completed” and poof! It’s like “Transaction completed” always had the restaurant category property.

Analyzing across two different teams

  • Scenario: One team created a “Speed Mode” feature that runs the app faster. There’s a “Speed Mode” event with the property Speed Mode Enabled.
    • Another team wants to know how Speed Mode impacts how many pages are viewed. But the “Page View” event doesn’t have the Speed Mode Enabled property.
  • Solution: Borrow the Speed Mode Enabled property onto “Page View” and teams can instantly understand how page views differed when Speed Mode was turned on.
All these use cases, without engineers needing to re-track data or develop complicated workarounds.Borrowed Properties is available for customers on Growth & Enterprise plans. For more information, check out our help docs.

Subscribe to Boards for ongoing notifications on metrics

Boards are a useful tool to collect a series of reports in one place, but they shouldn’t be a set and forget experience. It’s important to stay in the loop with how these key metrics are moving.To keep you and your team up to date on how much progress you’re making towards your metrics, you can Subscribe to a Board.All it takes is setting the schedule of how often you want to receive this information and selecting where you want to read it (email or Slack). Teams that are collectively informed on their data can stay on the same page, and using Subscribe to Boards can help them get there.

See what actions lead to retention with Behavioral Properties in Retention

Link to DemoNow in Retention, we’ve made it possible to breakdown users by what they do, not just who they are. This unlocks the ability to find the actions you can influence that will increase the long term retention of a user finding value. At its core, Behavioral Properties in Retention allows you to:
  • Summarize user activity after the starting event, whether it is a count of events, or a summary of properties on those events.
  • Set that summary of activity in a timeframe, for example, the number of times a user does the specified activity within 7 days / 1 hour / 30 minutes of the starting event.
  • Uncover what activities within a certain timeframe correlate with the how often your users do the action you want them to do in the long term.
A powerful use case for Behavioral Properties in Retention is finding the “aha” moment in your product, which describes the actions a new user does after signup that lead them to become an active user of your product. A classic example is Facebook’s “aha” moment, which was “adding 10 friends within 7 days results in a huge jump in daily active usage”.In our own example, you can dig into what actions a user does within 7 days after signup that lead them to watch more videos long term. The result we find is that the more channels they subscribe to, the more likely they are to retain. This insight can drive a strategy to create an experience that prompts users to subscribe to popular channels when they first signup.

Measure revenue drop-off at each funnel step

Link to DemoIt’s always been possible to view a series of events through a funnel, but now, we’ve added the functionality to sum a property on those events and visualize those values through a funnel. This type of analysis sets the focus on the outcome of the funnel being completed, not just that the conversion rate of the funnel is high.The most exciting use case unlocked from being able to view the sum of a property moving through a funnel is what we call Revenue Conversion. This analysis can help answer the question: “a segment of users might all convert, but how much dollar value of items did they have at each step, at which steps was this money lost, and how much did they ultimately convert with?”changelog ImageA couple instances where Revenue Conversion analysis can be useful are:
  1. Can determine which page a user lands on (sale, men’s wear, etc) ends up with the most money spent at checkout. All pages might have similar conversion rate to purchase, but some might drive more revenue at checkout.
  2. Can shift marketing spend to the industry (Healthcare, Fintech, etc) that have the highest average revenue when they purchase.

Expanded Time To Convert functionality in Funnels

Link to DemoUnderstanding how long it takes users to do actions or convert is key in building an efficient product that gets users to value fast, or, timing marketing strategies. We’ve improved this analysis by opening up new ways to answer questions on the time it takes users to complete a series of actions — this is made possible with our new expanded functionality of TTC in Funnels.Now, you can measure the amount of time it takes a user to convert in all of our aggregations (Average, Median, Percentile, Min & Max) to learn whether the adjustments to a workflow are decreasing the friction it takes to get to a moment of value.
  • Who are the users that look the lowest amount of time to signup after viewing our new landing page?
changelog Image
Can also bucket any of these funnel metrics by the Time To Convert on the whole funnel or a certain step.
  • How many users converted through our signup funnel based on how quickly they went from step 3 (Upload Media) to step 4 (Invite Friends)?
changelog Image
Finally, you can decouple the time to convert metric from the time to convert breakdown based on a specific step in the funnel to understand which actions lead users to reach value faster.
  • Do prospects purchase faster when their time to convert from viewing a product to adding it to cart is quick?

Segment users by their behaviors in Funnels

Link to DemoNow in Funnels, we’ve made it possible to breakdown users by what they do, not just who they are. This unlocks the ability to find the actions you can influence that will increase the likelihood of users converting through a funnel or completing a specific step.The core functionality of Behavioral Properties in Funnels is as follows:
  1. You can analyze how often one step of a funnel was done and how that contributes to overall conversion:
  • Insight: users who watch more videos subscribe to channels at a faster rate.
  • Result: when a user finishes a video, autoplay another similar video in an attempt to keep them watching more.
changelog Image
  1. It’s also possible to learn how actions outside of your funnel influence overall conversion or certain steps. We’ve built this workflow so that you don’t have to put arbitrary steps into your funnel:
  • Insight: for the users who completed the signup funnel, most of them read help docs over 10 times before doing so.
  • Result: make help docs more apparent at the beginning of the funnel.
changelog Image
  1. The other unique functionality to Funnels Behavioral Properties is the ability to decouple the breakdown step from the metric step. This is useful to answer questions about whether the frequency of a step in a funnel influenced a different step:
  • Insight: users ****who complete step 1 (product view) to step 2 (add to cart) more often have a higher rate of converting from step 2 (add to cart) to step 3 (purchase).
  • Result: when a user adds an item to the cart, show them a pop up with other related items they might also want to add to cart.
changelog Image
  1. Use the Aggregate Property per User breakdown to segment metrics by things like time, cost, or “variety”.
  • Insight: Users who add a wider variety of brands to cart have a higher rate of purchase.
  • Result: Create Black Friday landing page to have an assortment of goods rather than focused on one specific category.
changelog Image
  1. Set a Behavioral Property as a filter to dig deep into a select group of users who are behaving a specific way in the funnel
  • Metric: Users that added at least five items to their cart before purchasing.
  • Result: Can grab their email and send them a note when there is an offer for another five items at a different date.

New Experience and Features in Funnels and Retention

Mixpanel’s funnels and retention reports are where you can see user behavior through a series of events. With our next set of changes, we are making funnels and retention reports more powerful, while making them easier to use and keeping our controls in a place consistent with insights.You can try the new funnels and retention experience in our demo projects, here.

Funnels Report Changes

New Funnels Report WalkthroughHere is a quick summary of changes:
  • Funnels is getting revamped so that your funnel definition as well as the way you measure your funnel will be displayed in the query builder at all times.
  • You can explicitly define which steps of the funnel you are interested in.
  • More chart types are available across all different funnel metric measurements.
  • Time to Convert is available as a measurement, if you are looking to see a trend or summary of your conversion times.
  • Time to Convert is available as a breakdown, if you are interested in seeing something like a distribution of conversions, by their conversion time.
  • Frequency per User is available as a breakdown.

Retention Report Changes

New Retention Report WalkthroughHere is a quick summary of changes:
  • Retention is getting updated so that your retention behavior definition as well as the way you measure your retention behavior will be displayed in the query builder at all times.
  • You can explicitly define which retention group you are interested in.

New Analysis Capabilities

Build and Visualize More Metrics, Faster

Funnels and Retention Reports: Build and Visualize Metrics FasterInsights, Funnels and Retention now all follow the same structure. In the query builder on the left, you can define the behavior you want to measure, as well as the way to measure it. Each query builder now has its own self contained definition of a metric. We’ll be leveraging this concept more in the future. More chart types are available across funnels and retention, allowing you to visualize funnel and retention metrics in more way than before.

See Revenue Drop off in Funnels

Revenue Funnel Drop-off for E-commerce CompaniesFor e-commerce companies, the most important thing is their sales funnel. Seeing how many users convert is great, but the real end goal is seeing how many dollars converted. With revenue drop off, you can now see the revenue at each stage in the funnel, and not just the users. This helps identify which steps are seeing the most lost dollars and which segments are performing or not.

More Time to Convert Options

New Funnels Time to Convert Analysis CapabilitiesSee how your funnels are performing beyond just average time to convert over time, and median time to convert as a bar chart. We have added the ability to see median, average, P25, P75, P90, P99, min and max time to convert, using any visualization you’d like.You also have more power in Time to Convert breakdowns. You can choose the step range you would like the breakdown to apply to, while using a different step range for your measurement. This can allow you to see if converting quick on step 1 → 2 leads to higher conversion overall, and draw more insights from time to convert.

Alerts of Funnel Metrics

Link to DemoAlerts are much more powerful in funnels now. Instead of only being able to alert on conversion rate, you can now alert on any funnel metric, such as time to convert, or the number of conversions. You also get the power of anomaly detection, if you’d like us to detect when there’s something strange happening.

Behavioral Properties in Funnels

New Funnels Alerts FeaturesYou are no longer limited to only seeing the number of times a certain step was performed in a funnel. You can now choose any event, and see how that influences your funnel. This is especially useful if you have a set funnel definition, and you’re interested in how non-core actions might affect your conversion rate. You no longer have to add and remove steps in between your funnel to see how different events affect your funnel.You can also see how the properties of events done between funnel steps affects funnel conversion. For example, you can see how many different categories of items were viewed in a purchase funnel, which may be more telling than a raw count of items viewed.See more about Frequency Per User in Funnels.

Behavioral Properties in Retention

New Funnels Alerts FeaturesHave you wondered if doing certain actions affect retention? With the new Frequency per User and Aggregate Property per User options available in breakdowns, you can summarize user activity and see how it affects retention. Mixpanel will summarize activity after the starting event, whether it is a count of events, or a summary of properties on those events. You can answer questions like: how many song plays does it take after sign up before my retention is 50%? Being able to analyze what actions correlate with retention will give you new insight on how to improve your product.

Easier to use Event & Property Menus

Link to DemoThe Events Menu and Properties Menu is where you find the events and properties needed to craft your metrics, charts, or graphs. Mixpanel users spend a lot of time searching within these menus to find the right building blocks, so, we’ve made some adjustments to make the experience simpler and get you to value faster.

Event Menu

An important feature we have available to organize your events is Tagging. In our old experience, it wasn’t clear as to where to find Tagged events. Now, Tags are easily discoverable on the left side of the menu. You can leverage Tagging to hone in on a set of behaviors you’re interested in analyzing (setup, mobile, payment, etc) and quickly find the events related to those behaviors.
changelog Image

Property Menu

Similar to tagging, we’ve categorized all of your properties on the left side of the Properties menu based on what they’re related to. For example, if you want to filter your metric by a property that’s on a user, you can simply click the User category and find all the related properties. A category you might not be familiar with is Computed - these will create a calculation of any property to frame your analysis in a unique way. The Computed Properties we have available today are:
  • Frequency per User: understand how often users did an action and correlate it to another action
  • Aggregate Property per User: understand the value of an action and correlating it to another action
  • Attributed by: understand which touchpoints in a user journey impacted conversion
  • Duration: find the time spent between two continuous events, like Page View
changelog Image
2023-11-22

Find the right data more easily with Event Context

Link to DemoYou can now see rich context about an event, such as an image of the event, frequent users, reports that query it, or an owner for follow-up questions. With these contextual details, teams can build reports more quickly by trusting that they’re using the right event.Types of Event Context now available:
  • Embedded image of the event
  • Teammates that recently queried the event
  • Other reports that query the event
  • Event Owner, who you can contact for follow-up questions
In addition to having easy access to this context via the query builder, you can also leverage Event Context throughout the product. You can filter the Discover page to see existing analyses about an event.Event Context is available for all customers on all plans.

Measure how long users view webpages

Link to DemoTracking the number of views your website pages get is a useful way to learn if users have landed on your page. But, it doesn’t tell the complete story of whether these users got value from their visit:
  • Your blog might have 100s of views, but how do you know if users are actually reading all the content?
  • Users are reaching your signup page, but are they moving through that experience quickly or getting stuck?
  • Two different pages are getting similar views, but one is converting more sales than the other - are users finding content more engaging on that page?
The missing piece of the puzzle is understanding how long users visit your page, and to access this data we’ve added a Duration property on your Page View event that tracks your users’ “time spent on a page”.It takes no additional setup — Duration is auto-computed by calculating the time between Page View events.Checkout the video above to learn how you can answer questions like:
  • What blog content are our users finding the most engaging? (find the average time spent on blog pages)
  • Which pages are users not finding any value from? (find the pages that have an average visit time of less than 10 seconds)

Manage channel definitions with Channel Classifier

Link to DemoBreaking down your analysis by Channels is a useful way to answer key questions like:
  • which channels drive most of the traffic towards our website?
  • which channels send users that are more likely to make a purchase?
There are many directions you can go with a simple breakdown of channels, and now, we’ve made it much faster to setup your Channels property.
  1. Add a new Breakdown and select “Create Custom”
  2. Select “Insert Example” in the next menu, and choose “Channel Classifier”
  3. Make any edits you need to channel definitions, change the title to “Channels”, and click save
changelog Image
This initial setup needs to happen once so that all members of your organization can access the Channels property.Our Channel Classifier definitions align with standard practices used in other tools, such as GA4. Most users will keep the out-of-the-box definitions we provide, but you can also add in new properties to a channel (ex. adding DuckDuckGo in to the “Search” channel), as well as tweak any definitions to your liking.Visit our help doc for more information on how to group your marketing channels.

Save Formulas for reuse and metric standardization

Link to DemoSometimes your analysis calls for a calculated metric, meaning a metric that’s computed from existing metrics or data. An example would be Bounce Rate (Total Sessions less than 10s / Total Session Starts), where we are trying to calculate the percent of site visitors who left without reaching any value. In analytics tools, a typical workflow is to use a “formula” to create a metric like Bounce Rate, but there are some issues with that route:
  • Every time you need to calculate Bounce Rate in a new report, you have to create a formula from scratch
  • Other people in your organization don’t know how to define Bounce Rate, so they will figure out their own definition that might not fit the context of your business
  • There’s no way for the person in your organization that manages the analytics tool to set a standardized Bounce Rate metric that everyone can trust is accurate
To solve these pain points, Mixpanel is introducing Saved Formulas, which allows you to save a Formula for reuse across your organization.After creating a new metric using a Formula, you can save it. This allows you and others to reuse it once you start a new analysis - no need to rebuild it from scratch. Simply navigate to Metric, click on Formulas, and you’ll find you Saved Formula.
changelog Image
You can also expand the Saved Formula to see the components that contribute to the calculation. Other tools might come with calculated metrics built in (like Bounce Rate), but you can’t see how they’re calculated or adjust the calculation to your use case.
changelog Image
Once you have your Saved Formulas, your organization can trust them as standardized metrics. There’s no pressure for you and your team to have to figure out how to build this metric again and again, simply add it to the visualization just like you’d do any other event, metric, or cohort.Visit our help doc on Saved Formulas to learn more.

Count a Unique user towards one segment

In the past, when breaking down an event counted by Uniques, you often came across this question: why is the sum of users in segments not equating the the overall uniques? In the below example, unique users is 1760, but sum of users in segments Chrome + Firefox + all others = 1900. Why don’t these numbers match?
changelog Image
While there are 1,760 unique users who made a purchase, one of those unique users might make a purchase on two different browsers, and so the user gets counted in both the browsers (segments). The focus was on the segment, so you were looking at how many users were part of each segment.With this new feature addition, you can choose to associate a user to only one segment, either their first or last segment in the time interval. This way your sum of users across segments will total to the overall 1760. The focus with this counting type is on the user, so you are looking at how are these 1760 users distributed across the segment. This approach also reduces ambiguity and ensures that users aren’t double-counted across multiple segments.How do you choose which approach to use?
  • If you are looking to answer questions focused on the segment - how many users watched Taylor Swift’s Movie or watched Squid Game, you want to count a user across every video they have watched. Choosing the count “per segment” option here
  • If you want to understand the “last value of” - what was the last item that my users purchased in the past seven days? You would select the “last time” option within Uniques to answer this question.
  • If you are looking to answer how your users are distributed across segments - I have 2000 users, how are they distributed across video category? Also, I’d like to consider their last watched category as their most recent preference to target them? Choose the count “last time” option here
Visit our help doc for more information on how to leverage this new Uniques setting, and how it applies to Attribution.

Iterate on existing reports faster than ever with a new workflow

Link to DemoOur new report iteration workflow makes it easier to explore existing reports and save new iterations, through simplified duplication, clearer permissions, and better auto-naming. It’s now faster to build on existing work or go down exploratory deep-dives without losing your flow.An example streamlined workflow:
  • On an existing Board, you see a purchase conversion funnel filtered for United States in the last 60 days, and broken down by age group.
  • You want to examine what the funnel looks like when broken down by city instead of age group.
  • After changing the breakdown, the results look significant to track, so in 1 click you can save this iteration as a new saved report.
  • On the original Board, the new report iteration is automatically added to the bottom of the Board.
This report iteration workflow is available for all customers. If you still wish to duplicate Boards as in the previously supported workflow, you can access the Duplicate button in the 3 dot menu in the top right.

Plot Profile Metrics alongside other Metrics

Profiles have always been a powerful tool to slice & dice your user-base to learn key insights about where your users are from, what browser they’re using, or any other property. The new functionality we’ve added to Profiles allows for more depth of analysis - specifically, you can compare these metrics alongside other events in the same view.In the past, Mixpanel was switched into a different “mode” in order to access Profile Metrics. While in this mode, you weren’t able to add other events or cohorts to your visualization, and you could not plot a Profile Metric as a trend (ex. line chart).
changelog Image
Now, Profile Metrics behave like any other Event, Cohort, or Formula metric. You add them to your visualization in the same spot, and can compare them in the same chart type and date range. Profile metrics can also be used in a Formula with other events.
changelog Image

Workflow Improvements in Insights Report

Link to DemoRecently, we worked on improving upon some of the core workflows you could do in our Insights report. Some of these changes added metric building functionality that open up new analysis possibilities, and some of these changes refreshed existing workflows to help Mixpanel become simpler to use - all in all, we’ve working hard to polish our existing workflows and setup Mixpanel’s design for long term success.Improvements to the measurement menu
  • The default measurement has changed from Total Events to Unique Users
  • Total Per User has been updated to Frequency Per User
changelog Image
  • DAU/WAU/MAU has moved under Unique Users (click on the “>” button)
changelog Image
Individual metrics can now be measured as Rolling or Cumulative
  • Metrics can be measure to Rolling or Cumulative in the “Advanced” menu, which means it’s now possible to compare a rolling/cumulative metric with metrics using a different count
  • You can also set a Formula to be Rolling or Cumulative
  • This allows for comparisons that aren’t bottle necked by needing all metrics to be Rolling or Cumulative, for example, you can set a “target metric” in the same analysis as multiple cumulative metrics to visualize how long it will take for a trend to reach a goal.
changelog Image
2023-09-19

Focus on the right metrics with Hide/Unhide

It’s now possible to hide or unhide events from your visualization so you can focus on the metrics that matter.For example, when you have two events and one formula, your formula metric might be difficult to analyze since it’s a significantly smaller number than the other events. By hiding the other events, your visualization can scale appropriately to view the formula properly.
changelog Image
2023-09-19

Formulas now behave as metrics

Formulas have forever been an integral part of Mixpanel to create new metrics (Bounce Rate, Conversion) from existing data — and now, we’ve improved the usability of Formulas to help you encounter less roadblocks and speed up your analysis workflow.In the past, Formulas behaved as their own entity in the query builder, and you had to create separate Formulas (A = Product Added, B = Purchase Completed) to resurface the original events in the visualization.
changelog Image
Now, Formulas are added through the Metric button, and they behave like a metric. This means that the original events aren’t removed from the visualization when you add a Formula (note: you can hide the original metrics to focus on just the Formula).
changelog Image
Since Formulas behave like a Metric, you can also reorder them without any adjustments and setup your ideal visualization.

Finding a template is easier than ever

Templates are supposed to make your life easier, but we heard that figuring out how to access templates was confusing and difficult. So we’ve rolled out phase one of our plan to make finding templates easier, starting with when you click the New Board button.
changelog Image
Instead of a greyed out button, you’re greeted with a nice tile welcoming you to the template world. From there, you can follow the same process as before: select your template and input your events. You can start building analyses more easily with a clear entry point into templates.Templates are available to all users on all plans and are designed for both new and power users alike. You can read more about templates in our docs.

Manage implementations more easily with event metadata

Link to DemoOur latest data governance improvement makes it easier to investigate and fix data discrepancies, with peace of mind that you’re not disrupting your team’s workflows.You can now see event usage context in Lexicon, such as:
  • Who first queried an event?
  • When was it first tracked?
  • Which people queried it most recently? When?
With this event metadata, data teams can not only sort events to identify your highest volume / least queried events, but also identify relevant stakeholders to confirm whether this event is still necessary.Less fear of disrupting the team, less time spent cleaning data.

Fluid, flexible organization with Boards on Boards

You can now nest Boards within other Boards for more flexible, contextual organization of your analyses.Boards on Boards allows you to customize your workspace in whatever way that best suits how your company works. Rigid folders or spaces don’t account for the fact that people at modern organizations collaborate across teams, projects, or topics. Spend less time figuring out organizational hierarchy, and more time sharing ideas.Some ideas for how you can nest Boards:
  • Product Focus Area Boards on General Product Team Board
  • Feature Launch Boards on Enterprise Team Board
  • Landing Page Deep-dive Board on Growth Team Board, on Company Board
The beauty of Boards on Boards is that you get the organizational benefit of folders with the rich functionality of Boards, such as contextual text or media cards.This setting available for all organizations on an enterprise plan. For more information, check out our docs.

Find what’s impacting conversion with Attribution

Your users will experience a multitude of touchpoints along their journey to a conversion moment like signup or purchase. But, how do you know which touchpoints are valuable - should you invest more budget in certain ads, or, are there certain banners on your website that get lots of clicks? With our long awaited Attribution feature, you can answer the million dollar question to make these critical decisions — which touchpoints contributed the most to conversion?Our multi-touch attribution models allow you to to assign fractional credit to each touchpoint in a user journey and find the highest performers. It’s also possible to compare how these models affect your conversion moment in one table.
changelog Image
You can also adjust the Lookback Window of your Attribution calculation to take into account a shorter or longer period for users to reach a touchpoint. This can be useful when analyzing your marketing campaigns that have a longer lasting impact on customer decision making.
changelog Image
We hope you enjoy Attribution, and stay tuned — we’ll soon be bringing this feature to both the Funnels and Retention reports.

Introducing Warehouse Connectors: Sync event data from Snowflake & BigQuery

Link to DemoToday, all customers have access to Warehouse Connectors, which allows you to natively import data from Snowflake or BigQuery into Mixpanel. With this feature, you can set up recurring syncs from your data warehouse and ensure that Mixpanel is always in sync with your trusted data.This native connection not only simplifies event implementation by eliminating the need for engineering resources to manually track events, but it also makes analyzing all types of company data in Mixpanel easier, providing a holistic view of your customers.For example, you can bring into Mixpanel:
  • Application database tables: Signups, Reports Created, Dashboards Created
  • Salesforce data: Opportunity Created, Account Created, Account Upsell
  • Support data: Ticket Created, Ticket Resolved
  • Billing/Consumption data: Invoice paid, subscription renewed
  • Ad spend data: Click-through rate, cost per click, Google Ads spend
  • Clickstream data from Snowplow: Views, clicks, etc.
This lets you answer questions like:
  • What is the % of sales opportunities do we win? What is the average deal size in North America?
  • Which campaigns account for the most revenue? What is the breakdown of the ARR of customers that use this feature?
  • What is our average time to resolve a ticket?

Troubleshoot better with a new design for Boards without data

We’re excited to announce that we have released a new design for Boards without data. Now when a report can’t populate, it will display one of two states: a faded out sample report or a “no data” status.
changelog Image
  • Charts that show “no data” occur when an event has been tracked in the last 30 days, but a selected filter or date range result in no data for the report.
  • If the report is configured with an event that hasn’t been tracked in past 30 days or has never existed, the faded sample report will appear.
For example: you are an ecommerce company with a new Start Subscription event and you’d like to make a report to track subscriptions over time.
  • If you set up a report before this event starts being tracked, the report you create will show a faded out sample report like above.
  • As data starts flowing, the report will populate as expected.
  • If you set the date range on the report to a day where no one signed up for a subscription, the report will show “no data” because there were no subscription events tracked that day.
This change is designed to make the experiences of creating a new Board and moving a Board to a new project easier to navigate and understand. Nothing needs to be done to experience this new state - it is live for all users on all plans.
2023-07-27

You can now move Boards between projects with Move

Introducing Move, a powerful new feature that allows you to move Boards from one project to another, or one organization to another. Simply hover over the menu icon in the top right corner and mouse over “Move to” to move a Board to a new project. This feature is available on all plan types at no additional charge. Permissions for this feature are managed by group admins, who have the ability to allow moving Boards between projects, or even organizations. It’s important to note that if you would like a version of the Board to stay in the parent project, duplicate it and move the new duplicate Board. Moving boards from projects based in the US -> EU as well as EU -> US is unavailable at this time.
changelog Image
For example:
  1. An organization has Project A and Project B that support different products and teams within the organization.
  2. Team A has some fantastic Boards that have been well received by leadership and executives.
  3. Team B would like to replicate these reports without having to build them all from scratch.
This is where Move comes in. With the right permissions, Team A can move copies of their Boards to Team B’s project, allowing Team B to fill in their events and be up and running quickly, saving everyone time and energy.Coming soon: moving Boards to and from demo projects, saving you even more time.

Discover purchase behaviors with Cart Analysis

For ecommerce companies, understanding the purchase behavior of your users is vital when creating any revenue-driving strategy — whether that’s through website changes, marketing tactics, or product offerings. That’s why we built Cart Analysis to allow you to surface details about the items in your user’s cart (brand, category, price, etc) at different moments in their purchase journey (viewed product, added to cart, purchased). This is made possible by being able to look at any sub-property within a list of objects.
changelog Image
An example question you can ask in Mixpanel with the power of Cart Analysis might be “how many cart checkouts with a total of over $75 have a sneaker product as an item?”
changelog Image
A key feature we used to create the above visualization was the “Sum” computed property, which select a numeric property contained within the objects of the list and sums those values together (in this case, price). The other computed properties available with Cart Analysis are:
  • Size: Buckets carts by the number of items they contain.
  • Distinct Count: Count the number of carts that contain a specific brand or category.
Getting the answer to this question can help inform a product offering strategy, like if you wanted to consider offering discounts or incentives for customers who purchase sneakers along with other products to encourage cart values over $75.If you want to learn more about how Cart Analysis can upgrade your ecommerce analytics, read our help doc on the List of Objects data type, the analysis unlocked with List of Objects , and watch the demo video below.Link to Demo

Correlate user actions to key outcomes with Behavioral Breakdowns

Link to DemoActions speak louder than demographics, especially when it comes to finding what behaviors lead users to key outcomes.That’s why we built Behavioral Breakdowns — a new way to segment users by what they do, not just who they are. Now, you have the ability to measure the correlation between a user’s actions and their level of engagement, monetization, or other essential metrics.Here are a few examples of how you can leverage Behavioral Breakdowns to inform your approach in getting users to perform a key action:
  • When trying to get users to follow more accounts, you see that users who comment on 5 pieces of content within a week have a higher rate of following others. So, you make the comment button more accessible to decrease the friction it takes to comment.
  • To get more users signed up for your credit card, you target your emails to users that spend, on average, over $100 every time they shop on your eCommerce store because that segment is more likely to apply for a credit card.

Learn how users engage with your marketing tactics

webtracking
Your analysis is only as good as the data you capture, and we work hard to make it easy to setup the right data tracking to get you to insights quick and easy.That’s why we’ve updated our our Mixpanel Javascript SDK to automatically collect:
  • UTM Tags (default: on) — automatically adds these parameters to all events:
    • utm_source: track the source where traffic is coming from, including a website or advertiser
    • utm_medium: track the advertising medium, including email and banner ads
    • utm_campaign: track the campaign name associated with the traffic
    • utm_content: track the specific link within in an ad that a user clicked
    • utm_term: track keywords associated with campaigns
    • Initial UTM: tracks the first time a user reaches any of the above parameters
    Tracking UTM tags help fuel attribution analysis so you can understand which campaigns, ads, or content is contributing the most, or least, to conversion.
  • Page Views (default: off) — auto-track page views to build metrics like:
    1. Total Views: identify top performing pages to learn what content your users like best
    2. Bounce Rate: percentage of visitors who leave your website within 10s of viewing it
    3. Conversion Rate: percentage of visitors who complete a key action after visiting a page.
    Tracking the performance of your pages is the main way to understand if your website is driving value to your users and business. If you want to get started with web analytics, turning on auto-tracking pages can help you get started.

Track key ad metrics

ad_spend
It’s easier than ever to start sending ad network data to Mixpanel with our how-to guide.We walk you through every step of implementation so you can start analyzing your ad data in no time and monitor key ad performance metrics like (CPC) cost-per-click, (CPM) cost-per-impression and (CTR) click-through-rate. It’s a one time setup for a lifetime of tracking ad metrics.It’s vital to understand whether your digital advertising is worth the money, and these metrics help inform whether your ads are driving return on investment so you can get informed on where to adjust ad spend to maximize results.Here are a few ways you can leverage ad performance metrics:
  • Compare campaigns and how they affect cost-per-click to borrow strategies from well performing campaigns into poor performing campaigns
  • Track the return-on-ad-spend across all ads to determine what channels need an increase in investment
  • Compare different versions of an ad and compare which one has the higher click-through-rate to learn what copy, imagery, or other aspects resonate most with your audience

Compare metrics side-by-side in one table

With Mixpanel’s revamped Tables report, you can compare your key metrics side-by-side to understand how your segments are performing.Link to DemoTables are often the best visualization to process a lot of data at once — so, we made sure to include controls that can quickly get you to the most readable layout, fast:
  • Focus on the performance of a specific metric by 1) selecting a metric to sort your segments by, and 2) specifying it as ascending or descending order.
  • Treat each data point as its own row in Ungrouped View, or preserve the hierarchy of your breakdowns in Grouped View.
  • Control how many segments are displayed, so you can focus on the most relevant data.
This unique flexibility of our Tables allow you to spend less time setting up your visualization and get to your takeaway quicker.Here are a few ways you can leverage our new Tables:
  • As a product manager, you can consider offering localized content that is tailored to the needs of users in specific countries and cities that are not performing well.
image
  • As a growth marketer, you can compare how an increase in marketing spend since last month has effected the key metrics across marketing channels.

Easily create and manage Custom Alerts

We’ve revamped Custom Alerts to make it easier for you to notify your team when a metric significantly changes.Link to DemoWith just one click, you can set up Slack or email alerts for:
  • When an important metric reaches a target, such as if “sign-ups” in “Japan” reaches 1000
  • Monitoring unexpected behavior (or potentially faulty data), such as when any event in any segment changes by more than 25%
As a bonus, we’ve also improved admin controls so that you can better organize your workspace through bulk deletion and clearer invalid alert symbols.

Mixed Improvements in Mixpanel

Perfecting Mixpanel’s workflows are a top priority for us, and that’s why our customers appreciate our best-in-class design when answering their everyday product questions. We take pride in focusing on the small, but vital incremental improvements that help Mixpanel become faster, more intuitive, and an overall joyous experience for our users.This month, we’re introducing our Mixed Improvements: updates that enhance Mixpanel’s workflows and upgrade your product analytics experience.Query builder refinements
  • Report tabs have been adjusted and color-coded to help you easily recognize where you are during an analysis.
changelog Image
  • The query builder is much easier to scan, all thanks to the new way of adding event and cohort blocks via the header of each section.
changelog Image
  • Query blocks feel super reactive with their new design that reflects all the possible states they can be in.
changelog Image
  • Headers, like Event & Cohorts, stick to the top so you don’t have to scroll back up to add other query blocks.
changelog Image
  • We’ve added arrow controls for a quicker way to input your number of steps in Flows report.
  • Dragging and dropping query blocks that are partially populated (uncompleted) is now possible across the query builder.

Other updates

  • Flows report has been made even more intuitive - hover over a path to find the percent of users who performed that next step, and left-click on an event to pull up the action menu.
changelog Image
  • Dashboards feel quicker than ever now that loading times for report editing in a Dashboard have decreased considerably.
  • Build and rebuild your Dashboards faster than ever with supported Undo (⌘+Z) & Redo (Shift+⌘+Z).
  • Render optimizations to data tables have helped them feel snappier and scroll much smoother.
  • All dates in Mixpanel have been streamlined to one format, for example, Thu Jul 14, 2022 7:00 AM.

Accurate Event Ordering with Millisecond Precision

Say hello to accurate event ordering with Millisecond Precision. Now, even if you have multiple events happening within the same second, Mixpanel has the power to decipher the exact sequence in which those events occurred.Check out any Flows report to view millisecond level of precision firsthand!Before you can view events at Millisecond Precision, please make a note of two key points:
  1. You need to update your SDK to ingest events with millisecond timestamps. All previous versions only track at second precision. The minimum versions that support ms time stamps are as follows:
  • Swift - 3.3.0
  • Obj-C - 4.2.0
  • Android - 6.3.0
  • Flutter - 1.6.0
  • React Native - 1.5.0
  • Unity - 3.3.0
  • Javascript - historical versions have already been tracking ms timestamp. No action is to be taken if using this SDK.
Note: If you are sending data into Mixpanel via a CDP or the DWH, no change is required at your end if you’re already tracking data at ms precision.
  1. Only forward-looking data will be tracked at ms precision. This means that once you update your SDK, it will take some time to accumulate data with ms precision before you can see it reflected in your analysis.

Sessions improvements and new functionality

We’ve added two updates to session tracking in Mixpanel for more flexibility when defining your sessions and a simpler process to slice and dice this data. With Property Based Sessions and Sessions Properties, you can take advantage of a whole new way to analyze how users engage with your product:
  • Property-Based Sessions: have your own parameters that define a session? No worries - simply attach a Session ID property to your events, and Mixpanel will register all instances when a session starts and ends. Even if your sessions are complex — start from multiple events, have a max duration of 6 hours, and end after 30 minutes of inactivity — Property-Based Sessions can manage these parameters.
  • Session Properties: borrow any property from the events that define a Session Start or Session End to break down your user engagement data like never before.
For example, you can now set the property “City” to your session events to compare how users across different cities start and end sessions as well as the duration of these sessions.

Reorient your view of charts and tables

Mixpanel’s charts and tables both provide a unique way to view data and capture insights. But, sometimes you’re only in need of the table. Or, you need both the chart and table for a holistic analysis. That’s why we’ve introduced Layout Controls and Visual Grouped Sort to give you control over the orientation of your report.

Layout Controls

changelog Image
We’ve added three buttons to give you control over the viewable area of your charts and tables:
  1. Chart Focus: expand your chart so it is the only focus
  2. Split View: split screen between both your chart and table
  3. Table Focus: hide the chart completely to view the full, un-collapsed table
Now, you don’t have to scroll around trying to find the most relevant data view. Simply click your desired orientation and voila - the perfect view is automatically adjusted. Otherwise, you can drag the dividing handle to your preferred destination.

Visual Grouped Sort

changelog Image
Across all reports, data tables now include hierarchal structures that reduce repetitive information. This update makes it easier to group together the same metric so you can compare the results side-by-side. Checkout the before and after:

Uncover user insights with View Users

Making sense of your data just got a whole lot easier. In just two clicks, you can now View Users contributing to any event, at any point in time, across Insights, Funnels, and Retention reports. Save this list as a cohort. Export it as a CSV. And just like that, you have the data to find groups of users experiencing friction or dig deeper into what specific users are driving feature adoption. You can expect View Users to help:Learn what type of users are driving growth or stagnation: Each user’s properties and recent activities are readily accessible in View Users. This makes uncovering user themes fast - plus, you don’t have to leave the context of your Mixpanel report for this deep level of exploration.Take action on a group of users: View Users also helps with turning discoveries into actionable next steps. For example, you can leverage the Export to CSV button to grab the emails of a specific user group and plug them into an email campaign. Then, save that same group as a cohort in order to track their product usage after you send an email.

Faster Workflows for Speedy Report Building

Undo mistakes, shift query blocks and switch reports with lightning speed. Now, Mixpanel workflows are even faster with tools to quickly build, rebuild, and explore your reports.Undo / Redo We’ve added shortcuts to make iterating between changes in your analysis blazingly fast. Cmd + Z to undo; Cmd + Shift + Z to redo. Change filters, date ranges, line vs bar chart, and go back in one second to compare before and after, or fix the view. Speed is the only constant.Drag & Drop Query BlocksSave valuable time by dragging and dropping an existing query block into a different section. Want to change your breakdown by cities into a filter by those same cities? Click and drag your query block from the breakdown section, place it into the filter section, and voila - no need to recreate your queries, simply drag and drop existing ones.Fluid Report TransitionsRealized you can find the answer to your question in a different report? No worries - Fluid Report Transitions preserves the parameters of your original question for quick, stress-free report switching. Start in Insights and switch into Funnels, then into Flows, and back to Insights all while keeping the events, filters, breakdowns and date ranges you set originally - zero rebuilding required.
