I have a North Star metric and I want to understand how many times a user performs this event and create a breakdown of the number of times until they retain or become sticky.
For example: creating a note
No of times. Retention
| 1 time | 3% |
| 2 times | 5% |
| 3 times | 10% |
| 4 times | 20% |
| 5 times | 30% |

Hi
Thank you for writing this post!
Can I understand that you want to know after how many times a user performs the event “ creating a note”, they are retained or become sticky? Could you please let me know how you define “retain or become sticky”?
Thanks.
Thanks for replying
So, retention is what % users return to the platform on D1, D7,D14 and D30.
In my example, I want to understand how many notes do customers create before they are fully retained/do not churn. Basically, I want to break it down into the following:
Users who create 5 notes are 20% on D30 compared to users who create 1 note (5%)

Hi
Thanks for clarifying!
You are able to define user segments in a Retention chart using the condition “who performed...”. Please see the example chart using demo: https://analytics.amplitude.com/demo/chart/new/gml8i8a. Please note that the user segment conditions only apply to the starting event.
If your org has access to cohorts, you can also make a few cohorts for users who performed the “creating a note” event 1 time, 2 times, 3 times…. You can easily find out the frequency of an event being fired during a certain time rage by using this example chart: https://analytics.amplitude.com/demo/chart/new/2i51alt. Then you can create a cohort for each frequency using Microscope. I made this example cohort “Users performing 'Play Song or Video' 5 times last 30 days”. You can then apply this cohort to a Retention chart: https://analytics.amplitude.com/demo/chart/new/blwxv6u.
I hope this helps.
