You can identify new users that become active for the first time by using Mixpanel's identify method and adding a First Time Filter to any event in Mixpanel. The identify method allows you to see which users triggered each event in Mixpanel. You can replace USER_ID with a unique identifier, preferably the user ID from your database. Here's an example of how to use it: ```mixpanel.identify('USER_ID')
mixpanel.people.set({ '$name': 'Jane Doe',
'$email': 'jane.doe@example.com',
'plan' : 'Premium'
// Add anything else about the user here
});```(Source: Mixpanel Documentation)The First Time Filter can be added to any event in Mixpanel. This filters the event down to only the first instance of the event performed by a user. Mixpanel computes this on-the-fly by scanning each user's history to determine if this was the first instance of the event performed by the user, based on timestamp. (Source: Mixpanel Documentation)Remember to call .identify(<user_id> ) when a user signs up or logs in, and call .reset() when a user logs out. This will help you manage the identity of your users effectively.(Source: Mixpanel Documentation)
