How do I say this so I want to pass a new user property that is set after a check is done, some logic that validates if it is TRUE for a user or if user meets that criteria or condition and return a YES or NO value on login. Provide as an instruction manual for a developer

Certainly! Here’s how you can instruct a developer to set a new user property in Mixpanel based on a condition (logic check) at login, returning "YES" or "NO" as the value: ---
Instruction Manual: Setting a Conditional User Property on Login in Mixpanel
1. Perform Your Logic Check at Login When a user logs in, run your logic to determine if the user meets your specific criteria. For example, you might check if the user has a verified email, has completed onboarding, or any other business logic.2. Set the Result as a User Property After evaluating the condition, set a variable to "YES" if the user meets the criteria, or "NO" if not.3. Identify the User in Mixpanel Before setting any user properties, ensure you have called the .identify() method with the user's unique identifier. This associates the property with the correct user profile.4. Set the User Property Use the appropriate Mixpanel SDK method to set the property. Below are examples for several SDKs:
JavaScript Example
``` // Assume meetsCriteria is a boolean result of your logic
const result = meetsCriteria ? "YES" : "NO";
mixpanel.identify('USER_ID');
mixpanel.people.set({ "your_property_name": result });
Swift Example
Mixpanel.mainInstance().identify(distinctId: "USER_ID")
Mixpanel.mainInstance().people.set(properties: ["your_property_name": result])
React Native Example
mixpanel.identify('USER_ID');
mixpanel.getPeople().set('your_property_name', result);
Go Example
if meetsCriteria {
result = "YES"
}
exampleUser := mixpanel.NewPeopleProperties("USER_ID", map[string]any{
"your_property_name": result,
})
err := mp.PeopleSet(ctx, []**mixpanel.PeopleProperties{exampleUser})
```LBKSLBKS5. **Best Practices**LBKS - Only set the property after the user is identified (i.e., after login).
- Name your property clearly (e.g., `"is_criteria_met"`).
- Avoid setting properties for anonymous users.
- If you need to update this property in the future, simply call the same `.set()` method with the new value.LBKS**References:*
