# Send Events from Unreal
## Overview
{% hint style="info" %}
Before following this guide, we recommend downloading [this folder](https://github.com/msquared-io/msquared-mixpanel/tree/main/Mixpanel) from our Mixpanel repository, which contains pre-made assets that you can drop into your map to immediately start sending different test events.
{% endhint %}
In order to send events from your packaged editor, you should use the`/import` mixpanel ingestion api ([documentation found here](https://developer.mixpanel.com/reference/import-events)). The url is either:
* `https://api.mixpanel.com/import` , or:
* `https://api-eu.mixpanel.com/import`
depending on the location you selected for your data storage.
## Blueprint Implementation for Sending Mixpanel Events
A mixpanel event must contain 2 specific values: an **event name**, and a set of **properties:**
```
{
"event": "Signed up",
"properties": {
"time": 1618716477000,
"distinct_id": "91304156-cafc-4673-a237-623d1129c801",
"$insert_id": "29fc2962-6d9c-455d-95ad-95b84f09b9e4",
}
}
```
In properties, you must include:
* `time` (of when the event was sent)
* `distinct_id` (to identify unique users)
* `$insert_id`(a unique id for the event)
We have a number of helpful json nodes to help you construct this in blueprints. To get started:
1. Construct a Json object, and set the above values:
{% @blueprintue-embed/embed url="" %}
2. You can add additional properties alongside the required fields, which can contain important metadata that you might want to retrieve from a particular event:
{% @blueprintue-embed/embed url="" %}
3. To complete setting up the request body, create a new Json Object from a custom Mixpanel event struct (this will only contain a string member named event).
4. You can then set the properties field on this new json object, as shown below (note: the api body must be in the form of a json array as each request can accept up to 2000 different events):
{% @blueprintue-embed/embed url="" %}
5. Finally, set up the required authorization header. You should copy the previously stored basic auth value generated from your project token and use this in this step. Use the `Send Http Request` node to POST your request to the import api:
{% @blueprintue-embed/embed url="" %}
