To determine whether an event was created by a user (custom event) or is provided by Mixpanel (default event), you can use Mixpanel’s Lexicon feature. Lexicon contains metadata about all your events and properties, and provides filtering options to help you distinguish between: - Your defined (custom) events - Autotracked events - Default Mixpanel eventsYou can filter events in Lexicon by these categories to see which are user-created and which are provided by Mixpanel. This makes it easy to identify the source of each event in your project’s data dictionary Filtering Events, Custom Events, and Properties.Additionally, when viewing events in Mixpanel’s Events report, you can inspect the event properties. Custom events and properties will appear as you have defined them, while Mixpanel’s default events and properties are typically documented in Mixpanel’s official documentation.In summary, use Lexicon’s filtering options to distinguish between user-created and Mixpanel-provided events in your project.
