**Important:** Calling `alias` used to be required for Mixpanel in all libraries in order to connect anonymous visitors to identified users. However, with the release of Mixpanel's New [identity merge feature](https://help.mixpanel.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039133851#enable-id-merge) this is no longer necessary if you enable the ID Merge Setting under Mixpanel -> Project Settings -> Identity Merge. **If you aren't using this setting, please continue with the instructions below.**

As soon as you have a `userId` for a visitor that was previously anonymous you'll need to [`alias`](/docs/connections/spec/alias/) their old anonymous `id` to the new `userId`. In Mixpanel only **one** anonymous user history can be merged to **one** identified user. For that reason you should only call `alias` once, right after a user registered, but before the first `identify`.
