Hello

I try to integrate mixpanel but I have trouble setting things up, I don’t find any documentation

For my first users I was registering the user’s email in mixpanel, but I stopped doing this, no the only way I can relate a mixpanel user with one of my BDD user is the \_id : the `_id` of my user in mongo is the `Distinct Id` of mixpanel.

I’m sure my api is working correctly because for the old user’s with an email in mixpanel, the `mapping: ['User.email']` is working well.

but the `mapping: ['User._id']` is not working : how can I map it to `Distinct Id` ?

Thanks  
Arnaud

Hey @arnaudambro, here’s our documentation on integrating mixpanel [here](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/integrations#mixpanel)

However, I don’t think your expected feature is available right now, so I’ll push it to our product board 🙏

Hi Jeff

OK thanks !  
You mean right now, the only available mapping is with email ? (No judgement, juste a question)

Thanks

I’m pretty sure that this is currently the case indeed.

As stated, I’ve pushed your suggestion to our productboard, which is the best I can do right now.

Hope this helps 🙏
