Resolve Identity and Track
with Mixpanel · Product Telemetry Instrumentation
Create an identity mapping, track an event for the user, then segment it.
- Create an identity mapping linking the anonymous device ID to the known user ID. The project token is carried in the $token body field.
- Send an event for the now-identified user. Authentication uses the project token passed as the query parameter.
- Query event segmentation for the tracked event to confirm activity is attributed to the resolved identity. Uses service account basic auth.
What you'll need to have ready
- projectToken: Mixpanel project token used for ingestion and identity auth.
- projectId: The Mixpanel project ID used by the Query API.
- identifiedId: The known user ID to link the anonymous activity to.
- anonId: The anonymous device ID to link.
- eventName: Event name to track for the identified user and then segment.
- fromDate: Segmentation start date (YYYY-MM-DD).
- toDate: Segmentation end date (YYYY-MM-DD).
