Preparing for authentication
To access your data, you need to authenticate the connection with your account credentials.
To obtain the project timezone and API secret:
- Make sure you have the Admin privileges in Mixpanel. You need them to access the API secret.
- Log into your Mixpanel account.
- In the dropdown menu in the upper left corner of the page, select the project you want to replicate data from.
- Hover over the Settings icon in the upper right corner. In the Project Settings section, click the name of your project.
- Copy the Project Timezone and API Secret.

Schema
Mixpanel free plan
The engage and export tables are not available if you are using the free Mixpanel plan.
Schemas and naming conventions can change from version to version. It is recommended to verify your version before continuing.
The schema and info displayed below is for version 1.
Depending on your destination, table and column names may not appear as they are outlined below.
annotations
The annotations table contains info about annotations.

engage
The engage table contains info about user profiles.
The schema for this table is dynamic, meaning that the detected columns are dependent upon the properties provided upon upload in Mixpanel. For every property available in Mixpanel for engage records, a column will be displayed in the integration’s Tables to Replicate tab.

export
The export table contains “raw data dumps” of tracked events. The API endpoint for EU region servers will return a 200 terminated early error code.

Replication with attribution window
This table is replicated using the Attribution Window value defined in the integration’s settings page. Refer to the Replication section for more info.
Distinct events and loading behavior
As a Primary Key is not used for this table, data will be loaded using Append-Only loading. This means you may see duplicate records in your destination, which requires a querying strategy that selects the latest version of each record.
This approach allows to track events without a distinct_id. In Mixpanel, distinct_id is used to identify a unique user:
Mixpanel’s client-side tracking libraries automatically assign a distinct_id to a user when they first visit a website or an application that has Mixpanel installed. Distinct_id should not contain any special characters such as forward slashes, as it will break the URL. Distinct_ids can and often should be sent in server-side implementations as well.
In order to replicate records’ distinct_id attributes, your server-side Mixpanel implementation must send them with tracked events. If the server-side implementation doesn’t do this, this attribute will be null.
Previous versions of Mixpanel integration used distinct_id as part of a composite Primary Key for this table. However, due to the possibility of this attribute being null, a Primary Key is not used for this table, as null values in Primary Key columns will prevent successful Extraction.
When working with exports data in your destination, you’ll need to use a querying strategy that accounts for the Append-Only loading used by this table. We recommend using the following columns to de-duplicate records, along with the approach outlined in the Querying Append-Only tables guide:
