Sending custom events to Mixpanel using Rules

If you know PHP and/or Javascript and can create your own modules, that is the preferred way to send events to Mixpanel. Please see Sending custom events to Mixpanel in a custom module for more details.

However, if you can't write code, sending events to Mixpanel via Rules is best option!

Step 1: Install the required modules

You'll need to install:

• Rules UI - comes with the Rules module
• Mixpanel Rules - come with the Mixpanel module

If you don't know how to install modules, please see Installing contributed modules (Drupal 7).

Step 2: Create a new Rule

1. Go to: Configuration -> Workflow -> Rules
2. Click on: Add new rule
3. Give it a name (for example: "Send event to Mixpanel when node is created")
4. Select the event you want to react on (for example: Node -> "After saving new content")
5. Click "Save"

Step 3: Add a "Track event on Mixpanel" action

1. Click "Add action" below the "Actions" table
2. Select "Track event on Mixpanel" from the list
3. Give the event a name in the "Event name" field (for example: "node-created")
4. Add some properties from the node to the properties table (for example, put the node:title in a property called "node-title")
5. Click "Save"

Now whenever a new node is created, a "node-created" event will be sent to Mixpanel!
