Attributes

Attributes are inherent characteristics of a given user. An attribute can be of a Contact (Eg. "country", "email", "type of plan", "name", "language", etc) and, very rarely, of an Event, Eg. "upload a document in PDF format" ("in pdf" is a specific attribute of the event upload a doc).

Attributes are also properties that you can track, either automatically or manually.

These attributes allow detailed monitoring of what your users are doing on your app and provide relevant information for making decisions, improving your sales or segmenting the audience before sending communications out (automessages, flows, emails, etc).

Types of attributes - please note that most of the times, you'll be using contact attributes (event attributes are not so common):

  • Related to Contacts: inherent characteristics of a given user/contact of your platform. Eg. "country", "email", "type of plan", "name", "language", etc. 
  • Related to Events:  those that can be connected with events. They'll provide you information about what is happening on your platform (if you want more information about this topic,  go to Events). "Eg. "upload a document in PDF format" (in pdf is a specific attribute of the event upload a doc).
  • Related to Accounts: these attributes allow detailed monitoring of what your users are doing on your app and provide relevant information for making decisions, improving your sales or segmenting the audience before sending communications out (Automessages, Flows, Emails, etc).

FROGED offers a series of predefined attributes, that you can use from the start. But if necessary, you can create new customized attributes.  2 ways for doing this:

1.  Automatically: by setting it up in your code. For more info see section "SET" within the article SDK javascript. After doing it correctly this information will update automatically in your contacts database within FROGED. We provide an Installation Plan to facilitate it. 

2. Manually: watch the following video to learn how easily you can do this:


Once your attribute is created, it’s important that we know where it will appear and how to organize your workspace in FROGED’s contact database. Also, you now need that the new attribute gets populated with information within each contact. This can be done manually importing your contacts (read this article) including a column with the new attribute created, and also automatically like explained in option 1 above.


IMPORTANT: If you have already created a custom attribute, it is not possible to modify either its name or its typology. In that case, you would have to create a new one and make sure that the relevant change is made in your integration (that's why we don't allow you to modify the name, otherwise, the data of that attribute would not be automatically transferred).
