The user's distinct_id. If you are sending Events to Mixpanel in addition to Profiles, this property value should be identical to the distinct_id property attached to events so that you can connect events to profiles.

Properties contain information about the profile. For example, for a user profile, properties can be things like an email address, where they came from, or their age. These properties allow you to drill down to very specific segments of users/customers and learn more.

Properties are sent as key-value pairs where the key is the _property name_ and the value is the _property value_. [Tell me more about properties](https://mixpanel.com/help/questions/articles/what-is-the-difference-between-event-properties-super-properties-and-people-properties-and-which-should-i-use).

Certain property keys are special/reserved. For example, if you include the `$email` property, you can start sending targeted email notifications using Mixpanel's Notifications product. Other examples of special properties are `$name`, `$phone` and `$unsubscribed`.

A way to uniquely identify your users (or more generally, profiles). If you are sending Profiles to Mixpanel in addition to events, this property value should be identical to the Distinct ID property attached to the Profile so that you can connect events to people records.

Event Properties are bits of extra information that you send along with your Events describing the details of that action. They are usually specific to the Event they’re describing and don’t apply universally to other Events. Leveraging Event Properties allows you to conduct deeper analysis to better understand user behavior for a specific action. For example, a 'Song Added to Playlist' event could have 'Artist' and 'Playlist' as the properties. Properties are sent as key-value pairs where the key is the _property name_ and the value is the _property value_.
