Identify Users

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 Dictionary optional

A Dictionary 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

Objective-C

[FS identify:(NSString *)uid userVars:(NSDictionary *)userVars

Example Invocation

 NSMutableDictionary *userVars = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
 userVars = @{
              @"email": @"user1@example.com",
              @"displayName": @"Shopping User"
            };
 [FS identify:@"462718483" userVars:userVars];

Swift

FS.identify(uid, userVars)

 let userId = "13ff474bae77" // <- replace with your user’s Id

            ]
 FS.identify(userId, userVars: info)
