To import an event schema into Mixpanel's Lexicon, you need to follow a specific JSON format. Based on the knowledge sources, here's what you need to know: Event schemas in Mixpanel are defined using JSON Schema (specifically draft-07) and should include the following components: 1. Basic Structure: Each schema represents a single entity (usually an event) and includes: - entityType: Specifies whether it's an "event" or "profile" - name: The name of the event (e.g., "Added To Cart") - schemaJson: The actual schema definition2. Schema Definition: The schemaJson object should include: - $schema: Reference to the JSON schema standard - description: A description of the event - required: Array of required properties - properties: Object containing property definitions - metadata: Object containing Mixpanel-specific metadataHere's an example of a properly formatted event schema: LBKS{ "entityType": "event", "name": "Added To Cart", "schemaJson": { "$schema": "[http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema](http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema)", "description": "Tracked when a user adds an item to their cart.", "required": [ "item_name", "item_id", "item_price" ], "additionalProperties": true, "metadata": { "com.mixpanel": { "tags": [ "Shopping", "KPIs" ], "displayName": "Item Purchased", "hidden": false, "dropped": false, "owners": [ { "name": "Pat Davis", "email": "pat.davis@​[mixpanel.com](http://mixpanel.com)" } ] } }, "properties": { "item_name": { "type": "string", "description": "The name of the item", "examples": [ "Blue Widget" ], "metadata": { "com.mixpanel": { "displayName": "Item Name" } } }, "item_id": { "type": "integer", "description": "The internal id of the item", "examples": [ 12345 ], "metadata": { "com.mixpanel": { "displayName": "Item ID" } } } } } }LBKSWhen importing multiple schemas at once, you would wrap them in an "entries" array: LBKS{ "entries": [ { "entityType": "event", "name": "Event Name", "schemaJson": { ... } }, ... ], "truncate": false }LBKSThe truncate parameter determines whether existing schemas not included in your import should be removed.For user profiles, you would use "entityType": "profile" and "name": "$user".Lexicon Schemas API Overview provides more details on how schemas work in Mixpanel.
