Mixpanel

Mixpanel connections give you access to your company’s Mixpanel event data.

Source Setup

Etleap requires a Timezone and an API Access Key for a project when you set up a Mixpanel source. The steps below show how to get this information from the Mixpanel console.

1. Log in to the Mixpanel Web Console .

2. In the right of the navigation bar, select the project that includes the events to export.

   

3. Open the settings menu in the navigation bar and click on the project name in Project Settings sub menu.

   

4. The project’s timezone is shown under Project Details → Timezone.

5. The API key is shown under Access Keys → API Secret.

What Data is Available?

Etleap will extract raw event data from Mixpanel. Mixpanel pipelines always run in update mode. Etleap creates a primary key in the destination by taking an MD5 hash of all columns in the raw event data during transformations. The transform steps to compute this event hash are included in the default transformation script that is shown in the Wrangler.

The event time field is used for the Last-Updated Timestamp to determine the order of the events when loading to warehouse destinations.

Key Considerations

Duplicates

Mixpanel event data may contain duplicate rows. Etleap accounts for this during transformations by deduplicating on the primary key and selecting the duplicate row with the latest event time.

API Quotas & Limits

Etleap ensures that its requests to the Raw Export API  do not exceed Mixpanel’s native limits . However, these limits may still be exceeded if you are also using other services to export events from the same Mixpanel project.
