Manage Users
Create, update, & manage user profiles and communication channels using Flutter SDK methods.
How SuprSend identifies a user
SuprSend identifies users with immutable distinct_id. It’s best to map the same identifier in your DB with distinct_id in SuprSend. Do not use identifiers that can be changed like email or phone number. You can view synced users by searching distinct_id on Users page.
Identify user and set Push token
Create / Identify a new user
You can identify a user via suprsend.identify() method. Call this method as soon as you know the identity of user, that is after login authentication. If you don’t call this method, user will be identified using distinct_id (uuid) that SDK generates internally.
When you call this method, we internally create an event called $user_login. You can use this event to trigger workflow on user login.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| distinct_id | int, bigint, string, UUID | mandatory Unique identifier for a user across devices or between multiple logins. |
Call reset to clear user data on log out
As soon as the user logs out, call suprsend.reset() method to clear data attributed to a user. This allows you to handle multiple user logins on a single device and keep their data isolated from each other.
When you call this method, we internally create an event called $user_logout. You can see this event on SuprSend workflows event list and you can configure a workflow on it.
Mandatory to call reset on logout:
Don’t forget to call reset on user logout. If not called, users’ distinct_id will not reset and multiple tokens and channels will get added to the distinct_id who logged in first on the device.
Set communication channels
Mobile Push tokens automatically gets updated in user profile on suprsend.identify() call. All you have to do is to integrate push notification service in your application to start sending mobile push notification. To set other communication channels, use below methods.
Add User Channels
Add User Channels
Add user channels on signup, or whenever a user updates their communication channels in the application flow.
Android Push token will automatically be set at the time of user login. All you have to do is to integrate the push notification service in your application. Here’s the Android Push Integration guide.
Country Code Mandatory:
Make sure you are sending the country code when you are calling communication methods for SMS and Whatsapp.
