identify()

Purpose

The identify method is used to:

Assign a unique identifier (usually a user ID) to each user

Link all subsequent actions and events to this user ID

This ensures that all tracked behavior belongs to the correct customer profile.

Usage Example

Below is a JavaScript example illustrating how identify is used during a login request.
The method is typically called after a user is authenticated, ensuring that all later events are tied to the identified user.

In this scenario, once the login succeeds, the user’s email is passed to identify, allowing Intempt to associate all subsequent actions with this user.

Declaration

The method signature in TypeScript:

Parameters

IdentifyParams defines the accepted fields:

userId is required.
All other fields are optional and allow adding additional metadata to the identification event.

The following event titles must not be used with identify (or any custom event).
They are reserved for internal system behavior and will cause conflicts:

These names belong to Intempt’s automatic tracking system and should not be repurposed for custom event titles.
