Identify

The identify call lets you associate a visiting user to their actions. It also lets you record the traits about them like their name, email address, etc.

As a best practice, make sure that the identify call is made at the start of every session or page load for logged-in users. This will ensure all latest user traits are captured.

A sample identify call is as shown:

javascript

rudderanalytics.identify("userid", {
  name: "Alex Keener",
  email: "alex@example.com",
  phone: "+1-202-555-0146",
  birthday: "01/24/1982",
  gender: "Male",
  avatar: "https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/alex",
  title: "Mr",
})

Track

The track call lets you capture user events along with the properties associated with them.

A sample track call is as shown:

javascript

rudderanalytics.track("Order Completed", {
  revenue: 77.6,
})

Page

The page call lets you record your website’s page views with any additional relevant information about the viewed page.

A sample page call is as shown:

javascript

rudderanalytics.page("Cart", "Cart Viewed", {
  path: "/cart",
  referrer: "test.com",
  search: "term",
  title: "test_item",
  url: "http://test.in",
})

Group

The group call lets you link an identified user with a group such as a company, organization, or an account. It also lets you record any custom traits associated with that group like the name of the company, number of employees, etc.

A sample group call is as shown:

javascript

rudderanalytics.group("sample-group-id", {
  name: "Example Company",
  employees: 1000,
  industry: "Software",
});

Alias

The alias call lets you merge different identities of a known user.

A sample alias call is as shown:

javascript

rudderanalytics.alias("to", "from", options, callback)

The above alias call has the following parameters:

Parameter	Presence	Description
`to`	Required	Denotes the new identifier
`from`	Optional	Denotes the old identifier which will be an alias for the `to` parameter. If not provided, the SDK will populate this as the currently identified `userId`, or `anonymousId` in case of anonymous users.
`options`	Optional	This dictionary provides additional context to the event payload.
`callback`	Optional	This function gets executed after successful execution of the `alias()` method.
