setUserId

The setUserId() method sets the user ID for a specific user. It can be the same identifier as in your CMS, CRM or sales system. The user ID helps to recognize the user across devices.

tracker.userId = "userId"

Parameters

userId (string, required)

A non-empty, unique identifier of the user. Example: customer ID. It needs to be unique for each user. Can be up to 1024 bytes (1024 ASCII characters).

Examples

To set a user ID as ABC123 and send it with a screen view:

getTracker().setUserId("ABC123");  
TrackHelper.track()  
  .screen("example/welcome")  
  .title("Welcome")  
  .with(tracker);

tracker.userId = "ABC123"
TrackHelper.track()
  .screen("example/welcome")
  .title("Welcome")
  .with(tracker);
