User Actions enable you to track your end users' actions and analyze their behavior on your application.

For more information, see What are funnels?
Understand user engagement using Trends
Use Trend Insights to turn your engagement-related queries like number of users who have completed Flows or number of users who have clicked the button on your Pop-up into actionable Insights. Create custom reports with your queries and visualize them in the form of charts.

Group users to understand user behaviour using Cohorts
Cohorts enable you to create a group of users based on a specific criteria or behavior and analyze the group to take further actions. Creating Cohorts based on user behavior enable you to unearth hidden patterns, validate/invalidate hypothesis, and draw insights.
