To set a user's image (avatar) in Mixpanel, you can use the $avatar reserved profile property. Here's how you can do it: 1. First, make sure you have identified the user using the identify method. 2. Then, use the people.set method (or equivalent in your SDK) to set the $avatar property with a URL pointing to the user's image.Here's an example using the JavaScript SDK: LBKS// Identify the user mixpanel.identify('USER_ID');LBKS// Set the avatar URL mixpanel.people.set({ '$avatar': '[https://example.com/path/to/user/image.jpg](https://example.com/path/to/user/image.jpg)' });LBKSThe $avatar property should be set to a URL resource of a gif, jpg, jpeg, or png image file. This will update the profile picture for the user in Mixpanel.It's worth noting that this property will override any profile picture that might have been pulled from Gravatar.Reserved Properties provides more information about the $avatar property and other reserved profile properties in Mixpanel.

Certainly! Here's a list of the reserved profile properties in Mixpanel: 1. $distinct_id: Mixpanel's internal unique identifier for a profile. 2. $name: The user's or group's general name. 3. $first_name: The user's or group's first name. 4. $last_name: The user's or group's last name. 5. $email: The user's or group's email address. 6. $phone: The user's or group's phone number. 7. $avatar: URL for the user's or group's profile picture. 8. $created: The time that the profile was created. 9. $mp_first_event_time: Time of the user's (or group's) very first event in Mixpanel.These reserved profile properties have special uses in Mixpanel: - The $name, $first_name, and $last_name properties are used in various Mixpanel UI reports. - $email and $phone are important for sending emails or SMS via Cohort Syncs. - $avatar is used to set the profile picture in Mixpanel. - $created needs to be manually set, as it's not auto-populated. - $mp_first_event_time is calculated by Mixpanel and can be used for segmentation.It's important to note that for Cohort Syncs, only $first_name and $last_name are exported, not $name.For more detailed information about these properties and their uses, you can refer to the Reserved Properties documentation.
