Hi Nainik M., Please stand by as I search the Mixpanel knowledge base for an AI-powered answer. I normally take about 15 seconds or so.

To track page views in Mixpanel, you have a few options: 1. Automatic Page View Tracking: You can enable automatic page view tracking when initializing the Mixpanel object. This is done by setting the track_pageview option to true:

I apologize, but the knowledge sources provided don't contain specific information about how to track an event once manually in Mixpanel. The available information primarily focuses on automatic tracking and general event tracking, but doesn't mention a specific method for tracking an event only once manually.If you're looking to track a single event manually, you might be able to use the standard track() method, but the sources don't provide explicit guidance on ensuring it's only tracked once. For the most accurate and up-to-date information on this specific use case, I recommend checking the latest Mixpanel documentation or contacting Mixpanel support directly.

Based on the knowledge sources provided, I can answer your question about the parameters that mixpanel.init() takes. The mixpanel.init() method typically takes the following parameters: 1. Project Token (required): This is your unique Mixpanel project token.2. Configuration Object (optional): This is an object that can contain various configuration options.Here's an example of how mixpanel.init() is typically called: LBKSmixpanel.init('YOUR_PROJECT_TOKEN', { // configuration options go here });LBKSSome of the configuration options you can include are: - debug: Enable or disable debug logging in the console. - track_pageview: Enable automatic page view tracking. - persistence: Set the type of persistence (e.g., 'localStorage'). - autocapture: Enable or disable automatic event capturing. - record_sessions_percent: Set the percentage of sessions to record for Session Replay.For example: LBKSmixpanel.init('YOUR_PROJECT_TOKEN', { debug: true, track_pageview: true, persistence: 'localStorage', autocapture: true, record_sessions_percent: 1 });LBKSIt's worth noting that the exact configuration options may vary depending on the specific features you're using, such as Autocapture or Session Replay.For more detailed information about the initialization options, you can refer to the Mixpanel JavaScript SDK documentation.Mixpanel SDKs: Javascript Installing the Library> Remember that the configuration options allow you to customize how Mixpanel behaves in your application, so you should choose them based on your specific tracking needs.

To work across cross-domain and merge events using Simplified ID Merge in Mixpanel, you need to ensure that the $device_id and $user_id are consistently used across different domains. Here's how you can approach this: 1. Use consistent $device_id: When a user visits different domains, you should use the same $device_id across these domains. This can be achieved by sharing the $device_id between domains, possibly using techniques like: - Setting a third-party cookie (if supported by the browser) - Passing the $device_id as a URL parameter when linking between domains - Using browser storage mechanisms that can be accessed across domains (e.g., localStorage in some cases)2. Identify users consistently: When a user logs in or is identified on any domain, make sure to call identify() with the same $user_id across all domains.3. Include both $device_id and $user_id in events: When sending events, include both the $device_id and $user_id (when available) in the event properties. This is crucial for Simplified ID Merge to work correctly.Here's an example of how you might structure an event: LBKS{ "event": "Cross Domain Action", "properties": { "token": "YOUR_PROJECT_TOKEN", "$device_id": "shared_anonymous_id", "$user_id": "user_email@​[example.com](http://example.com)" } }LBKSBy consistently using the same $device_id and $user_id across domains, Simplified ID Merge will be able to connect events from different domains to the same user.It's important to note that the exact implementation may vary depending on your specific use case and the technologies you're using. The key is to maintain consistency in how you identify users and devices across your domains.For more detailed information on Simplified ID Merge, you can refer to the Mixpanel documentation on Identifying Users (Simplified).Mixpanel Documentation: Identifying Users (Simplified)Remember that when implementing cross-domain tracking, you should also consider privacy regulations and user consent, especially when sharing identifiers across different domains.
