Tracking Likes in Mixpanel: Can I Include Multiple IDs in One Event?
Hello kapa.ai, I want to track when a user likes a post in Mixpanel and be able to analyze:
Who liked the post – using user properties like age and gender (available via distinct_id).
Which post was liked and who created that post – using the post ID and creator's user ID.
Currently, I send the distinct_id as the ID of the user who liked the post. But I also want to include the post ID and creator's user ID in the event so that I can break down reports by post and post creator as well. The question is: Can Mixpanel track an event where I have one distinct_id (liker) and also include additional identifiers (like post ID and creator's user ID) as properties — and then use those additional IDs to break down or filter the event data in reports? In short: Is it possible to include multiple useful IDs in one event, where only one is the distinct_id, and still be able to analyze based on the others?
