To import a new property for your Users in Mixpanel, you have several options. Here's a summary of the main methods: 1. Using the UI: You can import user profiles, including new properties, via the Mixpanel UI. This method allows you to import profiles from a CSV file. Importing Profiles via the UI provides detailed instructions on how to do this. When preparing your CSV, remember not to include column headers. Instead, you'll identify column headers through the CSV upload wizard in the Mixpanel UI.2. Using the API: You can use the HTTP Engage API to set new profile properties. The $set operator allows you to set a new profile property or update an existing one.Here's a sample Python code to set a new property: LBKS# Fill this out. You can get it from [https://mixpanel.com/settings/project](https://mixpanel.com/settings/project) PROJECT_TOKEN = ""LBKSimport json import requestsLBKSdef get_users_from_database(): # Replace this with code that reads users from your database or CRM. return [ {"user_id": "123", "$name": "Alice", "$email": "alice@​[linear.app](http://linear.app)", "department": "engineering"}, {"user_id": "456", "$name": "Bob", "$email": "bob@​notion.so", "department": "product"}, {"user_id": "789", "$name": "Carol", "$email": "carol@​[figma.com](http://figma.com)", "department": "design"} ]LBKSdef transform_to_mp_format(user): distinct_id = user.pop("user_id") return {"$distinct_id": distinct_id, "$token": PROJECT_TOKEN, "$ip": "0", "$set": user}LBKSusers = get_users_from_database() profiles = [transform_to_mp_format(u) for u in users]LBKSresp = [requests.post](http://requests.post)( "[https://api.mixpanel.com/engage](https://api.mixpanel.com/engage)", params={"verbose": "2"}, headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"}, data=json.dumps(profiles) )LBKSprint(resp.json())LBKS3. Using SDKs: If you're using one of Mixpanel's SDKs, you can set new profile properties programmatically. For example, in JavaScript: LBKS// You must call identify to associate the profile update with the user mixpanel.identify('12345'); mixpanel.people.set({ plan: 'Premium' });LBKSRemember, when setting new properties, it's important to call identify() first to associate the profile update with the correct user.For more detailed information on these methods, you can refer to: - Importing Profiles via API - Storing User Profiles (JavaScript SDK)
