Automate Churn Detection & Retention with Mixpanel & HubSpot

Stop losing customers to churn with this intelligent automation that detects at-risk users in Mixpanel and automatically triggers personalized retention campaigns in HubSpot. This workflow monitors customer inactivity, calculates churn risk scores, and ensures your customer success team never misses a critical retention opportunity.

What this workflow does

This comprehensive churn detection automation operates through five key stages:

• Mixpanel Integration: Receives webhook events when customers hit inactivity thresholds (like 30-day inactive periods) and extracts crucial data including email, user ID, MRR, last active date, feature usage, and CSM assignments
• Event Validation: Confirms incoming events match churn criteria and contain valid contact information before processing
• Risk Scoring: Automatically calculates churn risk levels (Medium, High, Critical) based on inactivity duration and sets appropriate follow-up timelines
• HubSpot Sync: Searches for existing contacts in your CRM and updates their records with churn risk data and lifecycle stage information
• Task Creation & Alerts: Generates prioritized retention tasks in ClickUp with 24-hour due dates and sends immediate Slack notifications to your customer success team

Use cases
