To create a property at the user level in Mixpanel when a customer event happens, you can use User Profiles. User Profiles allow you to store attributes about your users and update them when certain events occur. Here's how you can approach this:1. First, make sure you've identified the user using the
.identify()method. This is crucial for associating the profile property with the correct user.2. Then, you can use the.getPeople().set()method to set or update a user profile property when a specific event occurs.Here's an example of how you might implement this in React Native:LBKS// Identify the user mixpanel.identify('12345');LBKS// When a specific event occurs, update the user profile mixpanel.track('Customer Event'); mixpanel.getPeople().set('PropertyName', 'PropertyValue');LBKSThis approach is described in the Mixpanel React Native SDK documentation.Remember that User Profiles are mutable, meaning Mixpanel only stores the latest value of each profile property. This allows you to easily update the property whenever the customer event happens.If you need to track how this property changes over time, you might want to consider tracking it as an event property instead of a user property. This is because, as mentioned in the User Profiles FAQ, "All Events join with the latest state of a User Profile, rather than its state at a point in time."For more detailed information on working with User Profiles in Mixpanel, I recommend reviewing the documentation on Storing User Profiles and the User Profiles FAQ.kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.

Yes, you can set user profile properties in Mixpanel without access to the SDK (Software Development Kit). Mixpanel provides alternative methods to update user profiles, including:1. HTTP Engage API: You can use Mixpanel's HTTP API to set profile properties directly. This method allows you to make HTTP requests to update user profiles without using any SDK.2. Warehouse Connectors: If you have your user data stored in a data warehouse, you can use Mixpanel's Warehouse Connectors to import and update user profiles.3. Integration Partners: Mixpanel offers integrations with various partners that might allow you to update user profiles without direct SDK access.These methods are mentioned in the Importing Profiles via API section of the Mixpanel documentation.For example, using the HTTP Engage API, you could make a POST request to update a user profile. The exact implementation would depend on your programming environment and the tools you have available for making HTTP requests.Remember that when using these methods, you'll need to ensure that you're correctly identifying the user (usually with a distinct ID) to update the right profile.If you need more detailed information on how to implement one of these methods, please let me know, and I can provide more specific guidance based on your preferred approach.
