How do I set Mixpanel user properties?
Short answer: You can mixpanel set user profile in Mixpanel by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Mixpanel Mixpanel Set User Profile action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
