identifyAnonymous() - Usertour documention

The identifyAnonymous() method works similarly to usertour.identify(), but automatically generates and manages a unique ID for anonymous users. This ID is stored in the user’s localStorage and persists across page reloads.

Important: Only use this method for unauthenticated users. For signed-in users, use usertour.identify() with their actual user ID.

Parameters

object

User attributes to update. See Attributes for details. These attributes can be used in flow content and conditions to personalize the user experience.

Returns

A Promise that resolves when the identification is complete.

Example

// Identify an anonymous user with custom attributes
usertour.identifyAnonymous({
  last_visited: '2024-03-20T08:30:00.000Z',
  referrer: 'google.com'
});

Notes

The generated ID persists in localStorage until cleared
Use this method only for public pages where users aren’t logged in
Anonymous users are exempt from Identity Verification: this method needs no identity token and keeps working with enforcement on — but anonymous users cannot be associated with a company via group()
