To send an event to Mixpanel via a webhook POST request, you need to include the following key parameters: 1. Event Name: This is the name of the event you're tracking. 2. Properties: A JSON object containing metadata about the event.Here's a basic structure of the event object you should send: LBKS{ "event": "Your Event Name", "properties": { "time": 1234567890, "distinct_id": "user_identifier", "$insert_id": "unique_event_id", "token": "your_project_token", // Additional custom properties } }LBKSLet's break down the required properties: - time: The timestamp of when the event occurred (in seconds or milliseconds since epoch). - distinct_id: A unique identifier for the user who performed the event. - $insert_id: A unique identifier for this specific event occurrence (used for deduplication). - token: Your Mixpanel project token.You can also include any additional custom properties relevant to your event.When making the POST request, you should send it to the Mixpanel import API endpoint: LBKS[https://api.mixpanel.com/import](https://api.mixpanel.com/import)LBKSRemember to include the appropriate headers, such as 'Content-Type: application/json' and any necessary authentication headers.For more detailed information on the event structure and API usage, you can refer to the Mixpanel Import Events API documentation.
