To set user properties in your app's code using Mixpanel, you need to use the people.set() method (or its equivalent depending on the SDK you're using). The exact implementation varies slightly depending on the programming language and SDK you're using. Here are some examples:
For JavaScript:
mixpanel.identify('USER_ID');
mixpanel.people.set({
'$name': 'Jane Doe',
'$email': 'jane.doe@[example.com](http://example.com)',
'plan' : 'Premium'
// Add any other user properties here
});
For iOS (Swift):
Mixpanel.mainInstance().identify(distinctId: "USER_ID")
Mixpanel.mainInstance().people.set(properties: [
"$name":"Jane Doe",
"$email":"jane.doe@[example.com](http://example.com)",
"$plan":"Premium"
])
For Android:
mixpanel.identify("USER_ID");
// Identify must be called before properties are set
mixpanel.getPeople().set("$name", "Jane Doe");
mixpanel.getPeople().set("$email", "jane.doe@[example.com](http://example.com)");
mixpanel.getPeople().set("plan", "Premium");
Remember to replace "USER_ID" with the actual unique identifier for your user, preferably the user ID from your database.
It's important to note that you should call identify() before setting user properties to associate the profile update with the correct user.
For more detailed information and examples for other SDKs, you can refer to the following Mixpanel documentation:
