Hello, I'm trying to setup the mixpanel, up to now, the only thing I could set up successfully was the tracking events, that are all working.

Now I want to add some information regarding the user legged in, but i am not being successful.

    #Works well
    MixPanel.track("Sign In", {:distinct_id => user.id}, @request_env)
    #Do not set the name of the user in mixpanel
    MixPanel.instance(@request_env).append "name_tag", user.username
    #Do not set the name of the user in mixpanel
    MixPanel.instance(@request_env).set user.id, {:name => user.username, :email => user.email}

I do not know if this is the correct approach, but can you give me a guide on how to do it?

Regards,

Ran into the same issue yesterday. Solved it by setting the 'name' property instead of 'name_tag' eg.:

mixpanel.append_set(:name => user.username)

Hope that helps.
