Identify Profile

This endpoint is used to track and update properties about an individual without tracking an associated event. The following data is stored in a JSON object.

JSON OBJECT STRUCTURE:

token: string
This is your public API key.

properties: JSON Object or null
Properties of the profile to track/update. You must identify the person by their email using a $email key (or by their phone number using a $phone_number key if you have SMS-only contacts). Other than that, you can include any data you want and it can then be used to create segments of people. For example, if you wanted to create a list of people on trial plans, include a person's plan type in this JSON object so you can use that information later.
