Mixpanel
This page contains the setup guide and reference information for the Mixpanel source connector.
Prerequisites
To set up the Mixpanel source connector, you'll need a Mixpanel Service Account and it's Project ID, the Project Timezone, and the Project region (US or EU).
Set up the Mixpanel connector in Airbyte
- Log into your Airbyte Cloud or navigate to the Airbyte Open Source dashboard.
- Click Sources and then click + New source.
- On the Set up the source page, select Mixpanel from the Source type dropdown.
- Enter the name for the Mixpanel connector.
- For Authentication, select Service Account from the dropdown and enter the Mixpanel Service Account secret.
- For Project ID, enter the Mixpanel Project ID.
- For Attribution Window, enter the number of days for the length of the attribution window.
- For Project Timezone, enter the timezone for your Mixpanel project.
- For Start Date, enter the date in YYYY-MM-DD format. The data added on and after this date will be replicated. If left blank, the connector will replicate data from up to one year ago by default.
- For End Date, enter the date in YYYY-MM-DD format.
- For Region, enter the region for your Mixpanel project.
- For Date slicing window, enter the number of days to slice through data. If you encounter RAM usage issues due to a huge amount of data in each window, try using a lower value for this parameter.
- Click Set up source.
Supported sync modes
The Mixpanel source connector supports the following sync modes:
Note: Incremental sync returns duplicated (old records) for the state date due to API filter limitation, which is granular to the whole day only.
Supported Streams
- Export (Incremental)
- Engage (Incremental)
- Funnels (Incremental)
- Revenue (Incremental)
- Annotations (Full table)
- Cohorts (Incremental)
- Cohort Members (Incremental)
Performance considerations
Syncing huge date windows may take longer due to Mixpanel's low API rate-limits (60 reqs per hour).
