Note: When connecting a Mixpanel instance from an existing scoring model, you can use it only as a secondary source for that scoring model. After the first connection is made, you can select Mixpanel as the primary source of a different scoring model.

How to use this integration

To create your scoring model, go to Scoring Models and click "Create Model."

Create New Scoring Model | Breadcrumbs

Scoring model creation consists of 3 steps:

  1. Fit model
  2. Activity model
  3. Advanced settings

For detailed instructions on creating your scoring model, please read the complete guide to creating your first Scoring Model with Breadcrumbs

1. Fit Model

Fit Categories are used to score your leads based on who they are. Use Firmographic or demographic data to identify your best leads.

Create a new Fit category by giving it a name and a weight. Then, click "Add Mapping" to use Mixpanel and "Change field" to add company or contact properties in the fit model.

Once you select the field, you'll be able to include or exclude additional values to refine your model further.

2. Activity Model

Activity Categories are used to score your leads based on how they are interacting with you over time. An action taken today doesn't have the same value as an action taken one month ago.

Create a new Activity category by giving it a name and a weight. Then, configure the absolute decay, the interval rate (days), and min and max frequency.

Activity Category Event Configuration | Breadcrumbs

In the above example, the configuration will create five periods with three days each, and assign a score if there is at least one event and a max of five. For each period we move back in time, the assigned score will be reduced by -10%.

Now you need to add the matching event. Pick Mixpanel in the Platform field and the event you need. Next, you can set up rules to further refine your data.

3. Advanced Settings

On this last step, we'll ask you to map your output fields so that we can send the information to your Mixpanel account. Here, you can automatically update the existing scoring field on Mixpanel or create a brand new one directly from Breadcrumbs.

Once you're done, click the preferred option to activate your model to run your scoring model against your settings, save it as a draft or test it against other scoring models.

Happy scoring!
