Setting User Profile Properties Based on Events

Hi Juan I., Please stand by as I search the Mixpanel knowledge base for an AI-powered answer. I normally take about 15 seconds or so. In case AI cannot answer your question, feel free to reach out to Mixpanel support at mixpanel.com/get-support.

To set a property at the user profile level when a user performs an event in Mixpanel, you need to use the People API in conjunction with event tracking. Here's how you can do it:1. First, make sure you've identified the user using the identify() method.2. Then, when tracking an event, you can also update the user's profile using the people.set() method.Here's an example using the JavaScript SDK:LBKS// Identify the user mixpanel.identify("user_id_123");LBKS// Track an event mixpanel.track("Button Clicked");LBKS// Set a profile property mixpanel.people.set({ "Last Button Click": new Date().toISOString() });LBKSThis code will track the "Button Clicked" event and simultaneously update the user's profile with a "Last Button Click" property, setting its value to the current timestamp.It's important to note that you must call identify() before setting profile properties, as mentioned in the JavaScript SDK documentation:LBKS// mixpanel.identify must be called in order to associate the profile properties you set // with that user. You only need to call it once per page load for a given user. mixpanel.identify("13793");LBKSmixpanel.people.set({ "Plan": "Premium" });LBKSThis approach allows you to update user profile properties in conjunction with event tracking, providing a way to maintain up-to-date user information based on their actions.

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

I apologize, but I don't have specific information about setting user profile properties at the UI level in Mixpanel without using the API. The knowledge sources provided don't contain details about performing this action through the Mixpanel user interface.Typically, user profile properties are set programmatically using Mixpanel's SDKs or APIs as part of the data collection process. The UI is generally used for viewing and analyzing data rather than inputting it.If you don't have access to the API or SDK implementation, you might want to consider:1. Reaching out to your development team or whoever manages your Mixpanel integration to implement the necessary tracking. 2. Contacting Mixpanel support for guidance on your specific use case. 3. Exploring if there are any data import options available in the Mixpanel UI that might suit your needs.Without more context about your specific situation or access level, I can't provide a definitive answer about UI-level options for setting user profile properties when an event occurs. If you need further assistance, it would be best to consult with your team or Mixpanel directly.
