See whether users return to your cat feature
A scheduled retention snapshot helps you keep the return-use question visible without turning every check-in into a dashboard project.

Why this helps
Retention takes sustained attention, but a busy founder can easily leave it for later.
- Keep return usage on the review agenda.
- Get a repeatable view of a feature's user cohorts.
- Turn a large report into a concise check-in.

- 1Connect Cats and Mixpanel to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to check retention for a Cats-powered experience.
- 3Provide one plain-language instruction naming the Mixpanel event or cohort behavior to analyze and requesting a short retention summary.
- 4Choose a weekly or monthly cron trigger and a run-report channel.
- 5Test against a real Mixpanel retention report.
Questions about this workflow
Does a retention report prove feature quality?
No. It describes return behavior for the specified events and time periods; interpret it alongside user feedback and other evidence.
Can I use it for a newly launched cat feature?
Yes, once enough event data exists for a meaningful report.
