Attribute Settings

Path: Settings → Attribute Settings

Attribute Settings define the attributes Foldspace stores about your users and subscriptions. The built-in attributes cover the standard user context fields you pass to identify(); you add custom attributes for anything specific to your product (for example, plan_type).

Two tabs split the attributes by what they describe:

• Users — attributes on a person.
• Subscriptions — attributes on an account or subscription.

The attributes list

Column	What it shows
Name / API Name	The display name and the key you send (for example, signUpDate).
State	Toggle an attribute on or off.
Description	What the attribute holds.
Data Type	The value type (for example, String or Date).
Default Value	The value used when none is sent.
Tracking Sources	Where the value comes from. Built-in and identify-sent attributes show IDENTIFY.
Created Date	Set for custom attributes.

Filter by Data Type or Name, or search, to find an attribute.

Built-in user attributes

These come standard and are set with foldspace.identify():

Attribute	API Name	Type
ID	id	String
Email	email	String
Name	name	String
Role	role	String
Image	image	String
Phone	phone	String
Timezone	timezone	String
Sign up date	signUpDate	Date

Create a custom attribute

Click Create New, then give the attribute a Name, an API Name (the key you’ll send), a Data Type, and an optional Description and Default Value. Send its value the same way as the built-ins, with foldspace.identify() using the API Name as the key. Once it’s flowing in, the attribute is available everywhere attributes are used: Segments, the Audience, user profiles, and filters.
