Understand how individuals and organizations are represented in your workspace, and how active users and accounts are determined.

In Accoil, Users and Accounts are the foundational objects that allow you to understand how people interact with your product. This structure powers segmentation, scoring, and insights across your workspace.


πŸ‘€ What Is a User?

A User in Accoil represents an end user of your product β€” someone who signs in, takes actions, and interacts with your app in a meaningful way.

  • These are not your teammates or internal staff using Accoil

  • Instead, Users are your customers β€” the people whose behaviors you're analyzing to understand engagement, onboarding, and retention

Accoil recognizes a User based on:

  • A unique identifier (e.g. user ID or email)

  • Event activity (actions taken inside your product)


πŸ•’ Active Users

A user is considered active in Accoil if they’ve triggered any event within the last 30 days.

This includes any type of event sent to Accoil β€” not just events marked for scoring or engagement tracking.

You can use this activity window to build dynamic segments, target re-engagement, or drive success conversations with real, recently active users.


🏒 What Is an Account?

An Account in Accoil typically represents a company, team, or organization that users belong to. In a B2B product, multiple users often share a single account.

Accounts are used to:

  • Group user activity together

  • Analyze behavior and engagement at the organization level

  • Measure things like account health, adoption, and activation


πŸ•’ Active Accounts

An account is considered active if it has at least one user who has triggered any event in the last 30 days.

This allows you to understand:

  • Which accounts are currently engaged with your product

  • Where activity is dropping off

  • How usage trends vary across companies, not just individuals
