Identify a user

To fully harness the potential of In-App Messaging, you must segment and target your In-App Messaging campaigns to specific user subsets. By identifying users with additional information, including their device demographics, location and any attributes of your choosing, you will be able to display intelligent, targeted in-app messages to the right users.

import { identifyUser } from 'aws-amplify/in-app-messaging';
const identifyUserInput = {
userId: '', // E.g. user-id
userProfile: {
email: '', // E.g. example@service.com
name: '', // E.g. name-of-the-user
plan: '' // E.g. plan-they-subscribe-to
customProperties: {
// E.g. hobbies: ['cooking', 'knitting'],
},
demographic: {
appVersion: '',
locale: '', // E.g. en_US
make: '', // E.g. Apple
model: '', // E.g. iPhone
modelVersion: '', // E.g. 13
platform: '', // E.g. iOS
platformVersion: '', // E.g. 15
timezone: '' // E.g. Americas/Los_Angeles
},
location: {
city: '', // E.g. Seattle
country: '', // E.g. US,
postalCode: '', // E.g. 98121
region: '', // E.g. WA
latitude: 0.0,
longitude: 0.0
},
metrics: {
// E.g. logins: 157
},
},
};
await identifyUser(identifyUserInput);

Identify a user with Amazon Pinpoint

When using identifyUser with Amazon Pinpoint, in addition to the other user info properties you can configure the address, optOut and userAttributes properties under options.

import { identifyUser } from 'aws-amplify/in-app-messaging';
const identifyUserInput = {
userId: '', // E.g. user-id
options: {
address: '' // E.g. A device token or email address
optOut: '' // Either ALL or NONE
userAttributes: {
// E.g. interests: ['soccer', 'shoes'],
}
},
};
await identifyUser(identifyUserInput);
