What's Missing in Standard Mixpanel Architecture

Mixpanel collects analytics data, but events aren't connected to growth automation workflows. Analytics remain passive instead of driving automated user engagement.

Standard Mixpanel Flow vs Optimized Skene Flow

Standard Flow
1

User has access to Mixpanel features

2

Features available but usage not monitored

3

No activation prompts for unused features

Skene Flow
1

Monitor Mixpanel usage patterns and feature adoption

2

Identify users who haven't used key features

3

Trigger feature discovery emails with examples and use cases

4

Track feature adoption and send advanced usage guides

How Skene Fixes This

The Skene setup for Mixpanel transforms passive analytics into active growth automation, automatically segmenting users by behavior and triggering personalized campaigns.

Implementation Comparison

Using Skene Infrastructure

Install via Prompt

cursor.mdc
@task: Initialize Skene.
@action: Analyze my local code, validating subscription via `npx skene login`, and generate `skene.config.ts` to implement the Analytics Activation pattern for Mixpanel.

Copy Skene Prompt for Cursor

Generated skene.config.ts

skene.config.ts
// skene.config.ts - The Automated Way
import { defineLoop } from '@skene/sdk';

export default defineLoop({
  type: 'retention',
  opinion: 'Detect dormant users and trigger personalized re-engagement campaigns',
  steps: [
    {
      trigger: {
        type: 'schedule',
        cron: '0 9 * * *' // Daily at 9 AM
      },
      condition: {
        type: 'query',
        query: `SELECT * FROM users WHERE last_activity_at < NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days' AND re_engagement_sent = false`,
        timeout: '10m'
      },
      action: {
        type: 'email',
        provider: 'resend',
        template: 're_engagement',
        personalization: {
          name: '{{user.name}}',
          lastActivity: '{{user.last_activity_at}}'
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  recovery: {
    retries: 3,
    backoff: 'exponential'
  }
});
