If you wanted an extra degree of safety here it may be worth implementing a process to read the device_id from domain 1 and passing this to domain 2 in the url to allow this to be read and set as the device_id on domain 2. How to build a JIRA ticket for this ticket Mixpanel device_id kapa.ai
Hi Bernie, 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.

I apologize, but I don't have enough information from the provided knowledge sources to directly answer how to build a JIRA ticket for implementing a process to pass the device_id between domains in Mixpanel. The knowledge sources don't contain specific information about creating JIRA tickets or about passing device_ids between domains in the way you described.However, I can provide some general information about the device_id in Mixpanel that might be relevant to your question:1. The $device_id is an automatically generated ID that is local to the device in Mixpanel. It's used for identifying users, especially before they are authenticated Default Properties: Automatically collected properties.2. In Mixpanel's Simplified ID Merge system, the $device_id is considered as the anonymous ID for the user Identifying Users (Simplified).3. When implementing Mixpanel across multiple domains or platforms, it's important to maintain consistent user identification. However, the specific process of passing $device_id between domains isn't covered in the provided knowledge sources.To create a JIRA ticket for this task, you would typically need to include:1. A clear title describing the task
2. A detailed description of the requirement
3. Any technical specifications or constraints
4. Acceptance criteria
5. Priority and estimated effortFor the specific implementation details about passing $device_id between domains, you might need to consult Mixpanel's technical support or additional documentation not provided in these knowledge sources.

Thank you for providing that clarification. In the case of server-side tracking in Mixpanel, the handling of device_id is indeed different from client-side implementations. Let me explain based on the information from our knowledge sources:1. For server-side tracking, Mixpanel's SDKs do not automatically generate IDs. Instead, you need to generate and manage the IDs yourself, including the device_id Server-side Identity Management.2. When using server-side tracking, you're responsible for generating a unique ID for each user session. This ID is typically set as the $device_id property in your events Server-side Identity Management.3. The recommended approach is to generate a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) and store it in a cookie. This UUID serves as the anonymous ID for the user and should be set as the $device_id property in your events Server-side Identity Management.4. For anonymous events tracked server-side, you should include the $device_id property set to the anonymous ID you generated Server-side Identity Management.5. When a user logs in or is otherwise identified, you should include both the $device_id (set to the anonymous ID) and the $user_id (set to the user's true ID) in your events. This allows Mixpanel to merge the anonymous and identified events for the user Server-side Identity Management.Given this information, if you're implementing a process to pass the device_id between domains in a server-side tracking setup, you'll need to ensure that you're consistently generating, storing, and passing this ID yourself. The specific implementation would depend on your server architecture and how you're managing user sessions across domains.

Yes, UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a standardized method for generating unique identifiers. It's not a specific library, but rather a specification that many programming languages and libraries implement. Let me explain how it relates to Mixpanel's server-side tracking and user identification:1. UUID Generation:
UUID is a 128-bit number that's designed to be unique across all devices and time. It's typically represented as a 32-character hexadecimal string. Many programming languages have built-in functions or libraries to generate UUIDs Server-side Identity Management.2. Uniqueness:
The primary benefit of using UUID is its extremely low probability of collision (generating the same ID twice), making it ideal for generating unique identifiers for users or sessions Server-side Identity Management.3. Usage in Mixpanel:
For server-side tracking, Mixpanel recommends generating a UUID and storing it in a cookie to serve as the anonymous ID for each user. This UUID is then set as the $device_id property in your events Server-side Identity Management.4. Per-session vs. Per-user:
The documentation suggests generating a UUID that "is unique to each user and persists during that user's session." This implies that you could generate a new UUID for each session, but it should persist throughout that session Server-side Identity Management.5. Storing in a cookie:
By storing the generated UUID in a cookie, you can maintain this identifier across multiple requests within the same session. Most server-side frameworks provide methods to set and retrieve cookies Server-side Identity Management.6. Example implementation:
The documentation provides a pseudocode example using Django (a Python web framework) that demonstrates setting and using a session ID cookie Server-side Identity Management.In summary, while UUID itself is not a library, it's a method for generating unique IDs that Mixpanel recommends for server-side tracking. It helps ensure that each user or session has a unique identifier, which is crucial for accurate user tracking and analysis in Mixpanel.
