In the context of data analytics, Events represent critical moments or actions taken by users that matter to your business. These are recorded interactions or milestones within your data, often providing key insights into user behavior, product value, and operational effectiveness. Events go beyond simple metrics—they form a narrative that can explain how users engage with your product, what motivates them, where they drop off, and why they come back.
Imagine your business tracks customer orders. Every time an order is successfully placed, it signifies a pivotal interaction between the user and your service, and is recorded as a unique record in a table named Orders.

Bottlenecks in user journeys, allowing you to simplify complex steps and boost conversions.
High-performing touchpoints that encourage user engagement, informing future improvements.
Feature engagement trends over time, helping you understand if users are adopting newly launched functionalities.
User segments driving feature usage, which allows for targeted campaigns to increase adoption in underrepresented groups.
Identify common behaviors among retained vs. churned users, informing retention strategies and engagement campaigns.
Segment users based on specific actions, such as purchase frequency, to create tailored loyalty programs.
