Updating user attributes via UE.pageHit method
Learn how to use the UE.pageHit method to update your users data.
What is UE.pageHit
It’s a JavaScript method that:
logs a page view for the user
updates user’s attributes values
logs and event (optionally)
Using UE.pageHit method you can update user’s attributes in User.com. Just add an attribute and a value, as in the example below. Remember to use proper formatting!
UE.pageHit({
"email":"test@user.com"
})How it works
UE.pageHit sends a request to User.com server and updates a URL (generates a new page view) and passes user attributes with certain data. It's the equivalent of a user navigating to a new page.
What if I don't want to log a page view? Then you can use the client update method.
userengage('client.update', {attribute: 'value'});Attributes you can’t update
