Connect Mixpanel to Adapt so it can read your product analytics. Reading data through Mixpanel’s Query API requires a service account and your project ID.

​
Set up credentials

1

Find your project token

In Mixpanel, open the settings gear and go to Project Settings > Access Keys. Copy the Project Token. Note that the token is used for data ingestion, not for reading data.
2

Find your project ID

Go to Organization Settings > Projects, open your project, and copy the Project ID.
3

Create a service account

With Owner or Admin permissions, go to Organization Settings > Service Accounts and create a new service account. Assign it a role with access to your project.
4

Copy the username and secret

Copy the service account username and secret now. Mixpanel shows the secret only once, so store it securely.
To read analytics data (events, funnels, retention, segmentation), Adapt uses Mixpanel’s Query API, which requires the service account username and secret plus the project ID. The project token on its own is for ingestion and cannot query data, so provide the service account and project ID even though they are listed as optional below.

Security

  • Credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256
  • Give the service account only the project access and role it needs
  • Optionally set an expiration on the service account to support credential rotation
  • The service account secret is shown only once; store it securely and delete the account to revoke access
  • Never share your credentials or commit them to source control

​
