how to join events to mp_people_data_raw ?

Hi Nave L., Please stand by as I search the Mixpanel knowledge base for an AI-powered answer. I normally take about 15 seconds or so.

In Mixpanel, there are several ways to join events with user profile data (mp_people_data_raw). Let me explain the main approaches:

You can use Mixpanel's JQL to join events and user profiles using the join() function:

```

function main() { return join( Events({ from_date: "2016-01-01", to_date: "2016-06-01", }), People(), { type: "inner", // You can use "full", "left", "right" or "inner" selectors: [{selector: 'properties["some_property"] == "value" and user["some_profile_property"] > value'}] } ); }

In Mixpanel's interface, events are automatically joined to user profiles based on the distinct_id field. Events are joined to user profiles on event.distinct_id = user_profile.distinct_id. This happens automatically when you're using Mixpanel's reports and you don't need to explicitly define the join.

According to Mixpanel's data model: - Events describe actions that take place within your product - User Profiles hold state about a user - The join between them happens on the distinct_id field

As described in the documentation: "User profiles are joined to events on event.distinct_id = user_profile.distinct_id." Data Model: How Mixpanel data is organized

If you're working with exported data in your own data warehouse, you would join the events table with the mp_people_data_raw table using the distinct_id field as the join key.

Is there a specific context or environment where you're trying to perform this join?

I understand you're looking to join Mixpanel events with user profile data in Snowflake using SQL. Here's how you can do that:

When working with Mixpanel data exported to Snowflake, you'll need to join the events table with the people table using the distinct_id field. However, you should also consider using the identity mappings table to get the resolved distinct_id when available.

Here's an example SQL query that joins events with user profiles in Snowflake:

```

SELECT COALESCE(mappings.resolved_distinct_id, events.distinct_id) AS resolved_distinct_id, events., people. FROM <DB_NAME> .<SCHEMA_NAME> .MP_MASTER_EVENT events LEFT JOIN <DB_NAME> .<SCHEMA_NAME> .MP_IDENTITY_MAPPINGS_DATA mappings ON events.distinct_id = mappings.distinct_id LEFT JOIN <DB_NAME> .<SCHEMA_NAME> .MP_PEOPLE_DATA_RAW people ON COALESCE(mappings.resolved_distinct_id, events.distinct_id) = people.distinct_id WHERE -- Add your filters here TO_DATE(CONVERT_TIMEZONE('UTC','<PROJECT_TIMEZONE> ', events.time)) > = TO_DATE('2023-01-01') AND TO_DATE(CONVERT_TIMEZONE('UTC','<PROJECT_TIMEZONE> ', events.time)) <= TO_DATE('2023-01-31')

Snowflake provides more details on querying Mixpanel data in Snowflake.

Is there a specific analysis you're trying to perform with this join?
