First steps

These steps should be applied as soon as a user opens the app.

1. user opens the app
2. check if existing or new

• if existing: call mixpanel.identify("USER_ID")
• if new: do nothing

3. send app_open event*

• if existing: you are done
• if new: continue with step 4

4. send mixpanel_distinct_id along with signup data to the /oauth2/access_token endpoint

###app_open event properties

• signed_user: equal to the boolean true or false. This property depends on whether the user opened the app is an existing one or not.
• api_client: the API client it e.g shoutit-android, shoutit-ios and shoutit-web

Next steps (Not required)

Now the mixpanel object in your app is defined and ready to fire events that will be associated with the correct user. Check this Article about the in-app events to be sent.
