Identify User

Identify a user

Each time a page loads for a user you can identify, you'll want to call the FS.identify function to associate your own application-specific id with the active user.

Parameters

uid String required

A string containing your unique identifier for the current user.

userVars Map<String, ?> optional

A map object with key/value pairs that provides additional information about your user.

Re-identification

Fullstory doesn't let you change the identity of a user once they have been assigned a unique user ID using FS.identify. If you attempt to change the user id of an identified user, Fullstory will recognize the new user ID and automatically split the session into a new session.

Limits

• Sustained calls are limited to 12 calls per minute, with a burst limit of 5 calls per second.

Additional Information

• Identifying users
• If you only want to pass in userVars you can use the FS.setUserVars function.
• Can I change a user's identity using FS.identify?
• userVars name requirements
• userVars value requirements

Java

public static void FS.identify(String uid, Map<String, ?> userVars);

Example Invocation

Map<String, String> userVars = new HashMap<>();
userVars.put("displayName", "Ada Lovelace");
userVars.put("email", "ada@example.com");
FS.identify("462718483", userVars);

Kotlin

fun FS.identify(uid: String, userVars: Map<String, *>): Unit

Example Invocation

val userVars = mapOf(
    "displayName" to "Ada Lovelace",
    "email" to "ada@example.com"
)
FS.identify("462718483", userVars)
