Each Mixpanel profile is limited to 2,000 properties. See Profile Properties.

The following limits apply to field sizes for properties in a Mixpanel profile:

  • A maximum of 255 bytes for string-type properties

  • A maximum of 255 characters for each item in list-type properties

This card supports dynamic fields. To add fields to this card, click the empty field at the bottom of the input field list under Click or drop here to create. To reorder fields, select Edit card from the Options menu and drag fields to their new location.

If you use this action card to create a profile that already exists, any new properties that are not already part of the profile will be added as custom properties. Existing properties will not be updated nor duplicated.
