Flutter User Profile: Fixing Email Display Issues with Mixpanel Integration

Please stand by Mattias N. as I search the knowledge base. I normally take about 15 seconds or so. 👋

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can help you with an example of how to correctly set the email property for user profiles in Flutter using Mixpanel. The issue you're experiencing is likely due to how the email property is being set in your Flutter code.Here's an example of how to correctly set the email property in Flutter: LBKS// You must call identify to associate the profile update with the user mixpanel.identify("12345");LBKS// Set the email property using the reserved $email property name mixpanel.getPeople().set("\$email", "jane.doe@​[example.com](http://example.com)");LBKS// You can set multiple properties at once if needed mixpanel.getPeople().set({ "\$email": "jane.doe@​[example.com](http://example.com)", "Company": "The Does" });LBKSThis example is based on the information from the Mixpanel SDKs: Flutter documentation.A few important points to note: 1. Make sure you call identify() before setting profile properties. This is crucial for associating the profile update with the correct user.2. The email property should be set using the reserved property name $email. In Flutter, you need to escape the $ sign with a backslash \ when used as a string key.3. You can set the email property individually using set() or as part of a map of properties.4. Ensure that you're actually setting a valid email address and not an empty string or null value.If you're still experiencing issues after implementing this correctly, it might be worth double-checking your Mixpanel initialization and overall implementation. Also, ensure that your Flutter SDK is up to date.If the problem persists, you may want to contact Mixpanel support directly, as there might be an issue specific to your project setup that isn't covered in the general documentation.

Based on the information you've provided and the knowledge sources available, there are a few potential reasons why the email address isn't displaying correctly in Mixpanel despite your developers using the correct "$email" property. Let's explore some possibilities: 1. Case sensitivity: Mixpanel uses "$email" (with a lowercase 'e') as the reserved property name for email addresses. Make sure your developers are using "$email" and not "$Email" in the Flutter code.2. Profile update timing: Ensure that the identify() method is called before setting the email property. According to the Mixpanel SDKs: Flutter documentation, you must call identify() before setting profile properties to associate the update with the correct user.3. Delayed updates: It may take some time for profile updates to propagate through Mixpanel's system. According to the Identifying Users (Simplified) FAQ, it can take up to 24 hours for some updates to be reflected across all parts of the system.4. Incorrect property name: If you're seeing "email" instead of "" prefix. Double-check that the backslash is included when setting the property: "\$email".5. Data import issues: If you've recently imported user data, make sure you're using the correct format. The Import Users documentation shows that the email should be set as "$email" in the JSON payload.6. Mixpanel project settings: Check your Mixpanel project settings to ensure there are no data filters or transformations that might be affecting the email property.To troubleshoot further: 1. Ask your developers to log the exact code they're using to set the email property and verify it matches the correct format.2. Use Mixpanel's debug mode or logging features to confirm that the email property is being sent correctly from your app.3. Check if other reserved properties like "$name" or "$phone" are displaying correctly in Mixpanel.4. Try setting the email property both individually and as part of a map of properties to see if there's any difference:

To activate the Mixpanel debug mode or logging feature in Flutter, you can use the setLoggingEnabled() method. Here's how you can do it: LBKS// enable debug logs mixpanel.setLoggingEnabled(true);LBKSThis code snippet is taken directly from the Mixpanel SDKs: Flutter documentation.By enabling debug mode, you'll be able to see debug logs in the console, which can help you troubleshoot issues with your Mixpanel implementation, including problems with setting user properties like email addresses.Remember to remove or set this to false before releasing your app to production: LBKS// disable debug logs for production mixpanel.setLoggingEnabled(false);LBKSAfter enabling debug mode, you can run your Flutter project and check the console output in your development environment (like Android Studio or Xcode) for Mixpanel-related logs. These logs can provide valuable information about what data is being sent to Mixpanel and any potential issues with your implementation.For more information about debugging and best practices, you can refer to the Debugging documentation.

Yes, it is possible to see logging information and check what Mixpanel is receiving directly in the Mixpanel UI. You can use the "Events" feature in Mixpanel to inspect the raw event data, including properties like $email. Here's how you can do this: 1. Use the Events report: According to the Debugging documentation, you can use the Events report to confirm that events are arriving in your Mixpanel project and troubleshoot your Mixpanel setup quickly.2. View raw events: In the Events report, you can see a feed of events along with all of their properties coming into Mixpanel.3. Search for your events: As mentioned in the Debugging documentation, you can search or filter using any user-level information you know is available in the event's raw payload. Search by $user_id, $device_id, distinct_id, or user property values.4. Inspect event properties: Once you've identified one of your own events in the Events report, you can inspect all of the properties that were sent with your event by clicking on the "> " symbol to expand it.5. Check property names: Toggle between the "Your Properties" and "Mixpanel Properties" tabs to determine which properties are custom to your Mixpanel implementation and which are sent by default by Mixpanel.6. Use JSON mode: The Debugging documentation also mentions that you can toggle "JSON mode" to view the complete JSON object Mixpanel received from the calls you sent. This can be particularly useful for checking the exact property names being received.By following these steps, you should be able to see whether Mixpanel is receiving "$email" or "email" as the property name for your user profiles.Additionally, you can use the User Profiles feature in Mixpanel to check if the email property is being set correctly on individual user profiles.If you're still having trouble locating the information you need, you might want to consider using the View Sample Events feature in Insights, which allows you to see the 100 most recent samples of a particular event, including all its properties.Remember, if you've recently made changes to your implementation, it may take some time for the data to appear in Mixpanel's UI. If you don't see the expected data immediately, try checking again after a short delay.Debugging: Validate your data and troubleshoot your implementation Insights: Visualize trends and compositions within your data
