Since our account upgraded to the new ID Merge Mixpanel, createAlias did not appear to function, or even register in the live data in Mixpanel.
e.g.
$mixpanel->createAlias($original_id, $wf_user_distinct_id);
doesn't result in an alias'd account or generate a Create Alias event in Mixpanel
$data = array(
'event' => '$create_alias'
, 'properties' => array(
'distinct_id' => $original_id
, 'alias' => $wf_user_distinct_id
, 'token' => '...'
)
);
and sending it over to api.mixpanel/track works totally fine
