hi~ When a user completes membership registration, the membership completion event and user properties are set. However, most users are set up normally, but for some users, the membership event is tracked, but the user properties and ID are not set. Why is this?

Hello! I'd be happy to help you with your question about Mixpanel user tracking and properties.Based on the information provided, it seems you're experiencing an issue where some users have their membership completion event tracked, but their user properties and ID are not set properly. This could be due to a few reasons related to identity management and user profile creation in Mixpanel:1. Timing of identify() and people.set() calls:
The mixpanel.identify()
call does not create a User Profile in Mixpanel by itself. The people.set()
method is required to set user properties on a user profile. However, people.set()
also needs an identify()
call in the same session to associate the profile properties with the correct User ID. If there's no identify()
call in the session where people.set()
is called, Mixpanel stores the user profile properties locally until an identify()
call is made Implement Your Tracking Plan.2. Server-side implementation issues:
If you're using server-side tracking, you need to manage the IDs yourself. Make sure you're correctly generating and managing the distinct_id
for each user and including it in your events and profile data Mixpanel SDKs: Java.3. Incorrect implementation of identify():
There might be an issue with how the identify()
function is implemented. For example, if a static string is accidentally used instead of the dynamic user ID, it could cause problems with user identification Hot Shard Limits.To resolve this issue:1. Ensure that you're calling identify()
with the correct user ID before or at the same time as setting user properties.
2. Double-check your implementation of the identify()
function to make sure it's receiving the correct user ID for each user.
3. If you're using server-side tracking, verify that you're correctly managing and setting the distinct_id
for each user.If the problem persists after checking these points, it might be helpful to review your implementation in detail or consult Mixpanel's support team for further assistance.
