Import Mixpanel Audience to Feature Experimentation

Mixpanel is a product analytics platform that helps teams understand how users interact with their digital products. It tracks events, user behaviour, and retention in real time.

flagship_user_id

For the user matching to be achieved and let FE&R target your Mixpanel cohorts, the flagship_user_id must be pushed back to Mixpanel (it is used as a joint key).

To do that, you need to ensure a $flagship_user_id user property is declared on Mixpanel user profiles:

• The flagship_user_id is the Visitor ID already sent to FE&R (more info here)

• You can declare the flagship_user_id as a user property in you Mixpanel tracking code:

• mixpanel.people.set({
  $flagship_user_id: vid
  });

  Or you can declare the flagship_user_id as a user property with the Mixpanel SDK

   mixpanel.people.set(properties: ["$flagship_user_id":vid])

The Mixpanel integration allows you to target the cohorts created in Mixpanel with AB Tasty.

Mixpanel Cohorts

Cohorts are groups of users defined by a chosen set of criteria, like a shared property or sequence of events. For more information on how to use cohorts please refer to the Mixpanel documentation

Once the integration is active on FE&R you need to activate the integration on Mixpanel.

This article will walk you through the different steps to setup the integration on Mixpanel side and to export your cohorts.
