Yes, this event can be created using the Mixpanel API, and we can separate the "routed to sign-in" from the "account creation redirect" scenarios. Let's modify the previous example to achieve this:
python
from mixpanel import Mixpanel
# Initialize Mixpanel with your project token
mp = Mixpanel("YOUR_PROJECT_TOKEN")
def track_user_authentication(user_id, authentication_result, routing_destination):
# Track the authentication event
mp.track(user_id, "User Authentication", {
"Authentication Method": "Username/Password",
"Authentication Status": authentication_result,
"Routing Destination": routing_destination
})
# Set super properties
registration_status = "New User" if routing_destination == "Account Creation" else "Existing User"
mp.people_set(user_id, {
"Registration Status": registration_status
})
# Register the super property to persist across events
mp.register_super({"Registration Status": registration_status})
# Example usage
def authenticate_user(username, password):
# Your authentication logic here
# ...
if authentication_successful:
is_new_user = check_if_new_user(username)
if is_new_user:
routing_destination = "Account Creation"
track_user_authentication(username, "Success", routing_destination)
route_to_account_creation()
else:
routing_destination = "New Sign-In Page"
track_user_authentication(username, "Success", routing_destination)
route_to_new_sign_in_page()
else:
track_user_authentication(username, "Failure", "None")
handle_authentication_failure()
In this updated version, we've made the following changes:
1. The track_user_authentication function now takes an authentication_result parameter, which can be "Success" or "Failure".
2. We've separated the routing logic in the authenticate_user function. Now, it explicitly sets different routing destinations for new users ("Account Creation") and existing users ("New Sign-In Page").
3. We're tracking failed authentication attempts as well, with a routing destination of "None".
This implementation uses the Mixpanel API through the Python SDK to create and fire the event whenever the authentication conditions are met [Mixpanel SDKs: Python](https://docs.mixpanel.com/docs/tracking-methods/sdks/python). The event is created and sent to Mixpanel using the mp.track() method [Sending Events](https://docs.mixpanel.com/docs/tracking-methods/sdks/python#sending-events).
The super properties (in this case, "Registration Status") are set using mp.people_set() and mp.register_super(), which will persist across other events defined [Super Properties](https://docs.mixpanel.com/docs/tracking-methods/sdks/python#super-properties).
