Collapse Events

Collapses groups of events into single synthetic events. Exactly one collapse mode must be specified. For daily lifecycle-state events use Daily States.

Mode 1 — Collapse repetitions

Collapses consecutive repeating events into one.

# Collapse all consecutive repeats
es.collapse_events(repetitive=True)

# Collapse only specific events when repeated
es.collapse_events(repetitive=["page_view", "scroll"])

Mode 2 — Event groups

Collapses groups of events defined by boundaries into a single event.

es.collapse_events(event_groups=[
    {
        "start_event": "session_start",
        "end_event": "session_end",
        "default": "session",
    }
])

Mode 3 — Column-based

Collapses consecutive events that share the same value in a column.

es.collapse_events(event_from_col="page_category")

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`repetitive`	`bool \| list[str] \| None`	`None`	Mode 1. `True` collapses all consecutive repeats; a list collapses only the named events.
`event_groups`	`list[dict] \| None`	`None`	Mode 2. List of group configs with boundary and naming rules.
`event_from_col`	`str \| None`	`None`	Mode 3. Column whose consecutive equal values define groups.
`agg`	`dict[str, str] \| None`	`{}`	Aggregation overrides for non-key columns. Maps column names to `"first"`, `"last"`, `"min"`, `"max"`, `"mean"`, `"mode"`, or `"any"`. Default is `"first"`.
`path_id_col`	`str \| None`	`None`	Override the path ID column.
`event_col`	`str \| None`	`None`	Override the event column.
