Question

Checked issue with identify I suppose there was some confusion when Charles said he will implement User Traits section so I totally forgot about identify section below that Also it looks like identify section is a bit obsolete as we do not have user sign ups and sign in so we have to use anonymous id right

charles · Answer

trying to remember sorry this was all so long ago now

charles · Answer

are we doing any tracking in the UI right now

charles · Answer

yes dumb question

charles · Answer

does the front ever call identify with the `customerId` returned in `workspaces get`

charles · Answer

i m having trouble finding it

charles · Answer

i think we need the UI to call identify with that id so that we can associate what s going on in the UI with what s going on in the backend

Artem Astapenko · Answer

Nope we do not call identify at all right now

charles · Answer

does it make sense that we should

Artem Astapenko · Answer

Looks like identity section in tracking plan was unchanged since dataline initial implementation

charles · Answer

+1 yeah makes sense probably an oversight on my part

charles · Answer

it seems like we want to do it once at the start of a session but since there is no log in i m not too sure when it should happen

charles · Answer

maybe just everytime `workspaces get` is called

Artem Astapenko · Answer

Yeah But we want to identify correct users right But as we do not have users in system he is not registering we have to use anonymous id

charles · Answer

yeah our goal is to associate the anonymous id with the customer id

charles · Answer

that s as granular as we can get

Artem Astapenko · Answer

So like when user enters we assign some Id for him and then we can track correctly As I understood that s how it is described in segment docs

Artem Astapenko · Answer

As for association we can pass customerId along with anonymous id can t we

charles · Answer

yeah i think segment assigns the anonymous id automatically so pretty much we just need to do the part where you pass customer id with anonymous id and then we are all good

Artem Astapenko · Answer

Ok Sounds reasonable

charles · Answer

I added one more segment related issue we d like to add one more piece of metdata if possible <https github com airbytehq airbyte issues 1092>
