Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, simply initializing Mixpanel without firing any events will not count as a user in Mixpanel's analytics. Mixpanel tracks users and their activities through events that are explicitly sent to the platform.To be counted as a user in Mixpanel, you need to track at least one event. This is typically done using the
track()method provided by Mixpanel SDKs. For example, in the JavaScript SDK, you would use:LBKSmixpanel.track("some_event", { "property": "value" });LBKSMixpanel SDKs: Javascript shows that events need to be explicitly sent using thetrack()method.It's important to note that Mixpanel is designed to analyze user interactions and behaviors through events. Simply initializing the SDK without sending any events does not provide any data for Mixpanel to analyze or count as user activity.If you want to ensure that a user is counted, you should track at least one event after initialization. This could be a simple event like "App Opened" or "Session Start" depending on your use case.kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.
