After a user register is it expected that the user sign-in event is triggered or this is only done when the next time the user login?

Based on the knowledge sources provided, there isn't specific information about whether a sign-in event should be triggered immediately after user registration or only on subsequent logins. The documentation focuses more on the general process of identifying users and managing user identity, rather than detailing specific event tracking for registration and sign-in scenarios.However, I can provide some general guidance based on the information available: 1. Typically, after a user registers, you would want to identify the user and potentially track a registration or sign-up event. This is suggested in the Mixpanel SDKs: Javascript Managing User Identity> section:
LBKS// your user signs in and tracks a sign in event mixpanel.track('sign in');LBKS// upon sign in, identify the user with their ID // ensure future events sent from the user have distinct_id 12345 mixpanel.identify('12345');LBKS2. The decision to trigger a sign-in event immediately after registration or only on subsequent logins would depend on your specific application flow and what you want to measure. If you consider the registration process as automatically signing in the user, you might want to trigger both a registration event and a sign-in event. If not, you might only trigger a sign-in event on subsequent logins.3. The most important thing is to callidentify()after the user has registered or logged in, to ensure that future events are associated with the correct user ID.To get a definitive answer about best practices for tracking registration and sign-in events in your specific use case, you may want to consult with Mixpanel's support team or refer to any additional documentation that might be available outside of the provided knowledge sources.kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.
