What Mixpanel does
- Events are the atomic unit. Every click, signup, purchase, or custom action sends a JSON payload from your SDK to Mixpanel.
- Funnels show where users drop off. Pick five steps, see how many people make it from step one to step five, segment by anything you've logged.
- Cohort and retention reports group users by behaviour. Ask: do people who used feature X come back next week?
- Mixpanel runs on web, iOS, Android, server-side, and most warehouse pipelines. Reverse-ETL connections sync cohorts back to a CRM or marketing tool.
When to use Mixpanel
- Product teams find the screen where new signups quit before activating.
- Growth teams check whether a new feature changed repeat usage.
- Marketing builds behavioural cohorts and syncs them to campaign tools.
