# Agentic Automations

## Overview

Mixpanel Agentic Automations are sub-agents of Mixpanel Agent that you configure once to do recurring analysis work for you, and deliver the result where you already work.

## Types of Agentic Automations

* **KPI Monitoring** — Watches a metric you own and ships a personalized digest on the cadence you choose. See [below](#kpi-monitoring) for details.

In the future, we're also exploring Research, Event-Triggered, and Data Governance automations. To get early access or help shape these, reach out to your account manager and ask to be connected with our product team.

## KPI Monitoring

A KPI Monitor watches a metric you care about and ships a personalized digest on the cadence you choose. Each digest summarizes what changed in the last window, calls out shifts the agent considers notable, and gives you a way to give feedback so we can improve what the agent surfaces over time.

### Create a KPI Monitor

<Steps>
  <Step title="Launch the Automation creation workflow">
    Click '+ Create New' button in your side navigation bar. At the bottom of the 'Analysis' section, click the Automation button.

    <Note>
      Don't see this button? Your organization may not have Mixpanel AI enabled. See the [Mixpanel Agent FAQ](/docs/mixpanel-agent#faq) for how to enable Mixpanel AI features in settings.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a cadence">
    Digests can be delivered daily, weekly, or monthly. Pick the rhythm that matches how your team operates. Weekly is a balanced default cadence for most teams.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick the metric to monitor">
    Choose any Insights-style event metric — sums, counts, or unique counts over an event you've already instrumented. The agent will use the metric's existing definition as the source of truth for what it watches.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add instructions">
    Use the **Instructions** field to tell the agent how to interpret results and what to call out. For example: "Flag anything that deviates more than 2 standard deviations from the 30-day average" or "Focus on week-over-week change, not absolute values."

    Instructions shape the digest's commentary, not the underlying query. The agent runs a single, fixed query based on the metric you selected. It cannot run additional queries, pull in other metrics, or take actions. Instructions guide how the agent frames its summary: which comparisons to emphasize, what thresholds matter to you, and what language to use when describing shifts.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a delivery channel">
    Digests can land in Slack or email. Slack delivery requires the [Slack integration](/docs/features/slack-integration) to be configured for your project.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the Automation">
    The agent runs on schedule — your first digest arrives at the next cadence boundary. You can pause, edit, or delete the Automation at any time.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### What's in a digest

* A short summary of what the metric did in the last window vs. baseline.
* Any shifts the agent considers notable, with the agent's reasoning.

## Limits

* **Automations per user per project.** Free: 5, Growth: 10, Enterprise: 20.
* **Metric types.** KPI Monitors today support Insights-style event metrics only. Funnel and retention metrics aren't yet supported.
* **Delivery channels.** Slack and email are available today
* **Cadence.** Daily, weekly, or monthly. There's no per-user delivery window control yet (e.g., "weekdays 8–10am local").
