Please stand by Aaditya S. as I search the knowledge base. I normally take about 15 seconds or so. 👋
Feel free to ask a follow-up question once I've answered by mentioning me with @kapa.ai
Mixpanel does not natively support sending webhook notifications when a new event is registered. However, on Enterprise plans, you can use the Event Approval feature to get notified via email or Slack when new events are ingested into your project. This feature hides new events by default and notifies admins, who can then review and approve them. Notifications are sent once per day and can be configured to go to specific email addresses or Slack channels, but there is no built-in option to send these notifications directly to a custom webhook URL.
To enable Event Approval:
1. Go to Lexicon in your Mixpanel project. 2. Scroll to the Data Governance section and enable the Event Approval toggle. 3. Enter the email addresses or Slack channels to receive notifications.
If you require webhook notifications specifically, you would need to set up an intermediary system (such as a Slack-to-webhook relay or an email-to-webhook service) to forward these notifications from Slack or email to your desired webhook URL, as Mixpanel does not provide this functionality out of the box Event Approval: Review unexpected events before they are visible.
If you need real-time webhook notifications for new events, the knowledge sources do not mention a direct way to achieve this within Mixpanel.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! 📚
To achieve notifications for new events using a polling strategy, you would need to regularly query Mixpanel for the list of events and compare the results to previously seen events to detect any new ones. While Mixpanel does not provide a built-in webhook for this use case, you can implement polling by:
1. Periodically fetching the list of events (for example, using the Lexicon API or by exporting event data). 2. Comparing the current list to your previously stored list to identify any new events. 3. When a new event is detected, trigger your own webhook or notification system.
The knowledge sources do not provide a specific API endpoint or code example for polling the list of events, but this general approach is feasible. Note that polling introduces some latency (depending on your polling interval) and may not be as real-time as a webhook-based solution.
Mixpanel’s Event Approval feature does notify admins of new events via email or Slack, but does not support direct webhook notifications or polling out of the box Event Approval: Review unexpected events before they are visible.
In summary: - Poll Mixpanel for new events at regular intervals. - Compare results to detect new events. - Send a webhook from your own system when a new event is found.
I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources do not provide more detailed technical steps or code for implementing this polling strategy.

Sorry Aaditya S., I'm currently experiencing some technical difficulties. Please try again in a few minutes. If this issue persists, please reach out to the administrators of this Slack workspace.

If you want to get notified every time an event is registered (i.e., whenever an event is ingested into Mixpanel, not just when a new event type appears), Mixpanel does not natively support sending a webhook for every event as it is received.
However, you can achieve similar functionality by leveraging Mixpanel’s Alerts feature. Alerts can notify you via email or Slack when certain conditions are met in your data, such as when an event count surpasses a threshold or when there is an anomaly (unexpected surge or drop) in event volume. You can set up these alerts on Insights or Funnels reports, and notifications can be sent to multiple users via email or Slack. Direct webhook notifications are not supported, but you could potentially use a Slack-to-webhook relay if you need to forward Slack notifications to a webhook URL Alerts: Get notified about anomalies in your data.
To set up an alert:
1. Save your report (e.g., an Insights report tracking your event). 2. Click the 3 dots icon, go to Alerts, and select Create Alert. 3. Set your alert criteria (e.g., any time the event count is above zero). 4. Choose your notification method (email or Slack).
If you are on an Enterprise plan, you can also use Data Volume Monitoring to get notified about drastic changes in event volume, but this is for spikes or drops, not for every single event occurrence Data Volume Monitoring: Get notified about drastic changes in event volume.
Summary: Mixpanel does not provide a webhook for every event registration, but you can use Alerts to get notified via email or Slack when event activity matches your criteria. For real-time, per-event webhooks, you would need to build a custom solution outside of Mixpanel, as this is not natively supported.
