User alias object

An alias serves as an alternative unique user identifier. Use aliases to identify users along different dimensions than your core user ID

  • Set a consistent identifier for analytics that will follow a given user both before and after they have logged in to a mobile app or website.
  • Add the identifiers used by a third-party vendor to your Braze users to more easily reconcile your data externally.

The user alias object consists of two parts: an alias_name for the identifier itself, and an alias_label indicating the type of alias. Users can have multiple aliases with different labels, but only one alias_name per alias_label.

This object is used frequently in all of our endpoints, and oftentimes within other objects.
