Events & Properties

What is an "Event"?

An event describes an action a user performs on a website or application - if they click a button or visits a page, that's an event. For example: Instagram would have following events: "Like a post", "Comment on a post", "View a story" and so on. Product analytics tools, like Mixpanel and Amplitude, track every interaction your users have with your website or application.

What are "Event Properties"?

Event properties are attributes a given event. For example: For Instagram's "Like a post" event, some properties can be "the identifier for post that was liked" and "genre for the post that was liked".
Each event will have its own set of event properties. The nature of these properties depends on both the type of product you have, and the specific information you're most interested in discovering.

What are "User/Account Properties"?

  • User properties are the attributes of individual users. These commonly include device type, location, User ID, and whether the user is a paying customer or not.
  • An account property describes the organisation that users belong to. These properties commonly consist of CRM data like owner, segment, or whether the account is paying.

User/Account properties are also called profile properties
