We've decided to switch entirely to Mixpanel's event SDK for our customer web app and our marketing website. We previously used Segment's event SDK on just our customer web app and Mixpanel's event SDK on the marketing website. I've created a new project called New Production which is receiving events from the Mixpanel event SDK calls on the customer web app. I now want to migrate the existing mixpanel mirror events from my warehouse to the new project. I've setup a service account in the same way as I did before however I'm not seeing the option to use mirror syncs on this setup... What am I doing wrong or does something need enabling on your side?
Based on the knowledge sources, I can see one likely reason why Mirror sync may not be available in your new project setup.
Mirror Requires Admin or Owner Project Role
To set up Warehouse Connectors (including Mirror syncs), you must have an admin or owner project role on the project. [Warehouse Connectors] If your service account was set up with a lower permission level on the "New Production" project, Mirror mode would not be accessible.
Please verify that the service account (or the user configuring the connector) has admin or owner access on the new project.
Other Things to Check
Paid plan requirement: Warehouse Connectors (including Mirror) are available as a free add-on only for organizations on a paid event-based plan. [Warehouse Connectors] Confirm your plan covers this.
Warehouse source setup: Mirror requires additional source-level configuration in your warehouse (e.g., for Snowflake, change tracking must be enabled; for Databricks, Change Data Feed must be enabled). [Mirror sync] If you're connecting to the same warehouse source as before, this should already be in place โ but it's worth confirming the warehouse connection in the new project is fully configured, including the dedicated staging schema/database required for Mirror.
Mirror is not supported on views: If your warehouse table is actually a view rather than a base table, Mirror will not be available. [Mirror sync]
If none of these apply, the knowledge sources don't contain enough detail to pinpoint the exact cause. I'd recommend reaching out to Mixpanel support directly, as there may be account- or project-level enablement needed on their side.
