In this section, we will be going through an example of an event in your Tracking Plan to show how a developer can implement that event using Mixpanel’s Javascript SDK. We’ll also look at how you can update your user profiles.

Browser Cookies are unreliable, is there another way?

What’s the difference between time, $mp_api_timestamp_ms, and mp_processing_time_ms?

  • time or $time - actual time of the event (which could be from days in the past), typically set when mixpanel.track() is called in the SDKs or filled in directly as part of a API payload.
  • $mp_api_timestamp_ms - the timestamp when the data is received by our ingestion api.
  • mp_processing_time_ms - the timestamp when the data is processed and ready for queries.

How to handle Date of Birth before 1/1/1970?
