Hi Ali B., 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.

Based on the provided knowledge sources, events exported from Mixpanel do not automatically include user properties. Here's what we know:
1. Events and user profiles are stored separately in Mixpanel. As mentioned in the Mixpanel Data Model documentation, "User profiles are in a separate object from events."
2. When exporting raw event data using the Event Export API, the payload contains event data but does not include user properties. According to the Event Export API documentation, the exported events payload is returned as JSONL, where each line is a valid JSON object representing an event.
3. If you need to export user profile data, you would use a separate API call. The Export Methods documentation states that "To export User Profile data, use the Engage API."
4. User profiles are typically exported separately and are mutable. As mentioned in the JSON Pipelines documentation, "User profiles are exported to a single table or directory named mp_people_data. Since user profiles are mutable, the data in the table is replaced with the latest user profiles each time an export occurs."
In summary, when exporting events from Mixpanel, user properties are not automatically included with the event data. You would need to export user profiles separately if you require that information.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! 📚
I apologize, but I don't have specific information about exporting Mixpanel data using Airbyte. The knowledge sources provided don't contain any details about Airbyte integration with Mixpanel.
However, I can provide some general information about exporting Mixpanel data to warehouses:
1. Mixpanel offers a feature called Data Pipelines (formerly known as Schematized Export Pipeline) that allows exporting data to various data warehouses and storage solutions. According to the Data Pipelines documentation, both event and user profile data can be exported.
2. For event data, the Data Pipelines documentation states that the exported event data is the same as what's available through the Raw Data Export API.
3. For user profile data, the Data Pipelines documentation mentions that user data is exported to a single table named mp_people_data.
4. It's important to note that event data and user profile data are stored and exported separately in Mixpanel, as they have different structures and update frequencies.
If you're specifically interested in using Airbyte for this export, I would recommend checking Airbyte's documentation or contacting Mixpanel support for more accurate information about that particular integration.
