Mixpanel has introduced a new data type, Dates, to enhance the flexibility and power of data manipulation on its platform. This feature allows users to send and manipulate date-related data, such as the last login or signup date, within the segmentation report. Integration is straightforward, requiring users to pass dates in the format "YYYY-MM-DD" or with up-to-the-second granularity in UTC format for precision. The platform will automatically interpret such data as dates, with consideration for UTC where necessary, offering users improved accuracy and ease in tracking time-specific events.
