Set User Identifier

Overview

The Set User Identifier feature allows you to assign a unique alias to each user, enabling efficient identification and segmentation across multiple devices. This alias serves as a unique identifier that links user data, preferences, and behaviors for a cohesive experience across platforms.

Use Case Overview

1. Purpose:

   • Associate users with a specific identifier like email addresses, system-generated IDs, or other unique data points.

   • Enable consistent user segmentation for personalized engagement and targeted communication.

2. Benefits:

   • Link multiple devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets) under a single user profile.

   • Facilitate advanced segmentation by user-specific properties.

   • Enhance reporting accuracy and marketing strategy effectiveness.

Implementation Details

Alias Management

• Setting an Alias: Assign a new alias to identify a user across their devices.

• Retrieving an Alias: Fetch the alias associated with a specific device.

• Removing an Alias: Disassociate the alias from a device.

Technical Implementation

1. Set Alias:

   Appoxee.instance().setAlias("user12345");

2. Get Alias:

   String alias = Appoxee.instance().getAlias();

3. Remove Alias:

   Appoxee.instance().removeAlias();

Keep in mind:

• The alias is user-specific and shared across all their devices, ensuring a unified user profile.

• An alias can only be assigned to one user at a time but can be used across multiple devices owned by the user.
