What is the difference between events and properties in Mixpanel?

Events are actions users take in your product, while properties are additional details that provide context about those actions.

To use a concrete example: if a user signs up, "Sign Up" is the event. Properties attached to that event might include the user's email or the sign-up method. Think of it like a database table-events are the rows representing user actions, and properties are the columns containing details about those actions.

There are three main types of properties: event properties (tied to a specific event), profile properties (tied to the user and show current state), and super properties (automatically attached to all subsequent events after being set).
