Is it possible to import or sync events from Project A to Project B? I want to create dashboards in Project B using a wider range of events from Project A. I am a marketer, so I would like to know if this is achievable via the UI, or if it requires developer assistance.
Hi Breen K., Please stand by as I search the Mixpanel knowledge base for an AI-powered answer. I normally take about 15 seconds or so.

Yes, it’s possible to move/copy data between projects, but it is not a single-click UI action for events and usually does require technical/developer help.Here are your realistic options:
1. Move boards (UI-only, but no new events)
You can reuse dashboards from Project A in Project B via the Move Board feature in the UI. This copies the board and its reports, but does not move or sync the underlying events—Project B must already receive those events (or compatible ones) to show data. [Move Boards]So this alone won’t give you “a wider range of events” in Project B; it only reuses the report setup.
2. Export events from A and import into B (requires technical help)
To actually get Project A’s events into Project B, Mixpanel supports a manual export → import pipeline: 1. Export from Project A using the Raw Event Export API. [Export Methods; Step 3 Export Existing Data] 2. Import into Project B using the Import API (or a helper script / mixpanel-utils). [Ingestion API; Project Migration Step 5; Mixpanel-utils import_events] 3. This is the same pattern Mixpanel documents for merging/migrating projects. [Merge Mixpanel Projects]This approach: - Is API/script-based, not pure UI. - Typically needs someone comfortable with APIs, scripts, or your data team / engineers. - Gives you a one-time or periodic backfill, not a live “sync” button in the UI.
3. Ongoing “dual tracking” (requires developer changes in your product)
If you want events to continuously show in both projects going forward, your developers can: - Initialize the Mixpanel SDK for multiple projects and send the same events to both A and B from your app. [Send to Multiple Projects]This is not done from the Mixpanel UI; it’s a code change.---
What this means for you as a marketer
- Purely via the UI, you can: - Reuse dashboards/boards from A in B (Move Board). - Reuse schema (Lexicon) definitions via CSV export/import if needed. [Lexicon export/import] - To actually bring events from Project A into Project B, you will need: - A developer or data engineer to: - Export events via Raw Export API. - Import them into Project B via Import API or a script / mixpanel-utils. - Optionally set up ongoing dual tracking in your product.If you describe your exact goal (e.g., “I want last 6 months of events from A also available in B for dashboards X/Y”), you can hand that to a developer along with the relevant docs above as a clear implementation brief.
