Yes, it's absolutely possible to add custom properties to custom events in Mixpanel. Custom events in Mixpanel allow you to combine certain events or filter events based on specific properties. When you create a custom event, you can include properties that provide additional context about that event.For example, when tracking an event like "Sign Up", you can add custom properties such as "Signup Type" to provide more detail: LBKSmixpanel.track('Sign Up', { 'Signup Type': 'Referral' })LBKSProperties provide valuable additional data that allows you to capture more nuance in your analytics. As noted in Mixpanel's blog, these properties let you filter events and answer more specific questions about user behavior, such as distinguishing between different types of messages sent in a messaging app What is mobile app event tracking.You can also create custom properties that calculate new values on the fly, which can then be applied to your custom events. These custom properties can be created through the property builder in Mixpanel's interface Calculate new properties on the fly.This combination of custom events and custom properties gives you powerful flexibility in analyzing user behavior in your application.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! 📚

I apologize for misunderstanding your question. Let me clarify how to create a custom property through the Mixpanel UI and associate it with a specific custom event that was also created through the UI.Based on the knowledge sources, there seems to be a distinction between custom events and custom properties in Mixpanel: 1. Custom Events are virtual events created from one or more events, optionally filtered by properties, and given a name. These are created through the Mixpanel UI and can be used in reports like Insights, Funnels, or Retention Custom Events: Combine multiple events for analyses.2. Custom Properties are properties calculated on the fly using formulas, which transform existing properties into new ones. These are created through the property builder in the Mixpanel UI Custom Properties: Calculate new properties on the fly.However, the documentation doesn't specifically mention a way to create a custom property that belongs exclusively to a custom event created through the UI. Custom properties appear to work with any events (including custom events), but they aren't "owned" by specific events.When you create a custom property, it becomes available to use with any event in your reports, including your custom events. You would simply: 1. Create your custom event through the UI 2. Create your custom property through the UI 3. Use both together in your reportsIf you need more specific information about associating custom properties exclusively with custom events, the knowledge sources don't provide that level of detail, and you might want to check Mixpanel's documentation further or contact their support.Would you like me to explain more about how to create custom properties or custom events individually through the Mixpanel UI?
