- Define your “active” users
- Define the ideal frequency of usage of your product
- Pick the right zoom-level
- Remove your employees
- Track your progress
1. Track basic actions in your product
To get the most out of June we recommend tracking some basic user behaviours inside your product.
🎯 Actions to track | 💡 Example |
Sign up event | An event when a user signed_up |
Core events for your product | Add an event when users open your app, like "application_opened". Or only count users active if they perform the main workflow in your product. An example for Slack could be tracking "sent_a_message" |
Events when a feature is used | When launching new features you can add an event when users use them. |
Event for milestones to celebrate | Add an event when people upgrade to a paid plan, or when they reach certain milestones in your product. |
An event for each step of a workflow | If you have complex workflows, like an onboarding or a complex form add an event as each step gets completed |
2. Follow a key action in Slack
Event notification in Slack is a simple yet powerful way to celebrate events in real-time as they occur in your product.
Based on your priorities, notification can be triggered on the following events:
- 🆕 Sign up happened = if acquisition is the priority
- 💰 Purchased a paid plan = if revenue is the priority
- 📩 Invite a colleague = if referral is the priority
3. Define your “active” users
Defining what “active” means is absolutely critical for any business yet often misunderstood. A great definition of an active user is when a user gets the unique value of your product.
For early-stage, 3-5 actions are usually enough.
4. Define the ideal frequency of usage of your product
The second question is whether you should look at your Daily, Weekly or Monthly active users.
To answer this question you need to figure out what makes the most sense for your business.
5. Pick the right zoom level
Some products have multiple users per account. If this is the case then it traditionally makes more sense to check product activity at an account level (we call them “Companies” in June):
6. Remove your employees
If you’re getting started there is a good chance that your employees are creating a bias in your data. Open the relevant report and remove your employees from the analysis:
7. Track your progress
You can keep track of the evolution of your metrics without effort using the Slack integration, like this:
If you’re an iOS user you can also use the iOS widget. You can find it in the “Get the iOS widget” section, then follow the instructions.
Congrats on wrapping up Day 1 with June 🥂
