Introduction to Customer Analytics with Elasticsearch

If you're delving into the world of analytics using Elasticsearch, you might be grappling with how to effectively analyze customer behavior based on purchase data. One common inquiry is how to filter out customers who have made no purchases at all. This is particularly crucial if you want to target potential growth opportunities by identifying customers that have not engaged in transactions.

Within this post, we'll explore how to structure your data and execute queries that can accurately reveal customers with zero purchases. We'll break the solution down into manageable sections to help you understand the necessary steps.

Understanding Your Data Structure

Customer Index Mapping

In this scenario, you have a customers index that includes various fields, notably a nested array (orders) for each customer's purchase history. Here’s a brief structure of your mapping:

Example Customer Data

Here are three example customer records to illustrate how this data is structured:

Key Considerations

Customers with empty orders arrays have made no purchases.

Customer records with at least one entry in orders have made purchases.

Performing the Query

Now that we understand the data structure, let's focus on how to construct the query needed to find customers with zero purchases during a specified date range.

Preparing the Mapping

Before we dive into the query, it's essential to make sure that certain fields, like email, are set to the .keyword type for aggregation purposes. This setup will allow you to efficiently filter and analyze the data.

Constructing the Query

The query you'll execute is designed to gather information about customers based on their purchasing behavior within a specific date range. Here’s how you can set it up:

Understanding the Results

Running the above query will yield results that show how many customers did not make any purchases during the specified timeframe.

The output will reflect the total customers who made no purchases:

This indicates that there was one customer who did not engage in any purchases during the defined period.

Conclusion

Using Elasticsearch for customer analytics can greatly enhance your understanding of purchasing behavior. By structuring your data effectively and making use of nested filters in your queries, you can uncover insights that drive business decisions.

Now, you have the tools and knowledge to identify customers with zero purchases efficiently. As you continue to familiarize yourself with Elasticsearch, keep experimenting with different queries to gain even more powerful insights into your analytics!
