    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.
