Mixpanel

The Mixpanel piece in ZBrain Flow provides integration with Mixpanel's analytics platform, allowing you to track user interactions and events directly from your workflows. This connector enables you to send custom events, user properties, and engagement data to your Mixpanel project without manual tracking implementation. With Mixpanel integration, you can build automations that monitor user behavior, track conversion events, and capture user journey milestones across your business processes.
