MixpanelPeople Class Reference

Inherits from	NSObject
Declared in	MixpanelPeople.h

Overview

Mixpanel People API.

Access to the Mixpanel People API, available as a property on the main Mixpanel API.

You should not instantiate this object yourself. An instance of it will be available as a property of the main Mixpanel object. Calls to Mixpanel People methods will look like this:

[mixpanel.people increment:@"App Opens" by:[NSNumber numberWithInt:1]];

Please note that the core Mixpanel and MixpanelPeople classes share the identify: method. The Mixpanel identify: affects the distinct_id property of events sent by track: and track:properties: and determines which Mixpanel People user record will be updated by set:, increment: and other MixpanelPeople methods.

If you are going to set your own distinct IDs for core Mixpanel event tracking, make sure to use the same distinct IDs when using Mixpanel People.

`ignoreTime`

controls the $ignore_time property in any subsequent MixpanelPeople operation.

@property (atomic) BOOL ignoreTime

Discussion

If the $ignore_time property is present and true in your request, Mixpanel will not automatically update the “Last Seen” property of the profile. Otherwise, Mixpanel will add a “Last Seen” property associated with the current time for all $set, $append, and $add operations

Defaults to NO.

Declared In

MixpanelPeople.h

`– set:`

Set properties on the current user in Mixpanel People.

- (void)set:(NSDictionary *)properties

Parameters

`properties`	properties dictionary

Discussion

The properties will be set on the current user. The keys must be NSString objects and the values should be NSString, NSNumber, NSArray, NSDate, or NSNull objects. We use an NSAssert to enforce this type requirement. In release mode, the assert is stripped out and we will silently convert incorrect types to strings using [NSString stringWithFormat:@“%@”, value]. You can override the default the current project token and distinct ID by including the special properties: $token and $distinct_id. If the existing user record on the server already has a value for a given property, the old value is overwritten. Other existing properties will not be affected.

// applies to both Mixpanel Engagement track: AND Mixpanel People set: and
// increment: calls
[mixpanel identify:distinctId];

Discussion

This method is identical to set: except it will only set properties that are not already set. It is particularly useful for collecting data about the user’s initial experience and source, as well as dates representing the first time something happened.

Declared In

MixpanelPeople.h

`– unset:`

Remove a list of properties and their values from the current user’s profile in Mixpanel People.

- (void)unset:(NSArray *)properties

Parameters

`properties`	properties array

The properties array must ony contain NSString names of properties. For properties that don’t exist there will be no effect.

Declared In

MixpanelPeople.h

`– increment:`

Increment the given numeric properties by the given values.

- (void)increment:(NSDictionary *)properties

Parameters

`properties`	properties dictionary

Discussion

Property keys must be NSString names of numeric properties. A property is numeric if its current value is a number. If a property does not exist, it will be set to the increment amount. Property values must be NSNumber objects.

Declared In

MixpanelPeople.h

`– increment:by:`

Convenience method for incrementing a single numeric property by the specified amount.

- (void)increment:(NSString *)property by:(NSNumber *)amount

Parameters

`property`	property name

`– append:`

Append values to list properties.
