Send Feature Experimentation Event to Mixpanel

The AB Tasty Decision API must be called using this visitor ID; otherwise, the event will not be sent to Mixpanel.

Overview

The AB Tasty > Mixpanel Connector allows you to automatically send server-side experiment data from AB Tasty’s Feature Experimentation platform to Mixpanel. This integration enables you to analyse how specific feature flags and variations impact your product metrics directly within Mixpanel, providing consistent, event-based tracking without requiring client-side scripts.

Visitor ID Requirement

Mixpanel requires a known visitor ID (distinct_id) to link events to the right user.

Preferred option: Identify users before sending hits using:

mixpanel.identify('VISITOR_ID');

Alternatively, retrieve the existing ID via:

mixpanel.get_distinct_id();

Hit Exemple

const uniqueId = uuidv1();
const url = `https://api.mixpanel.com/track`;
const payload = [{
  event: 'flagship',
  properties: {
    token: Configs.token,
    distinct_id: Hit.Vid,
    $insert_id: uniqueId,
    flagship_campaign: `[${Hit.Caid}] ${Hit.Caname}`,
    flagship_variation: `[${Hit.Vaid}] ${Hit.Vaname}`
  }
}];
const defaultHeaders = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' };
return axios.post(url, payload, { headers: defaultHeaders });
