Install Instructions for UserIQ Tracking Snippet

This article will guide you through the process of installing the UserIQ tracking snippet on your multi-page application.

** Replace the red text with the corresponding variables in your system.

<script type="text/javascript">
    (function(){
        /**************/
        // UserIQ helper logic
        var useriq = (window._uiq = window._uiq || [])
        useriq.invoked &&

          console.error &&
          console.error('Useriq snippet already exists.'),

        for (var i = 0; i < useriq.methods.length; i++) {

Important information about the user id custom variable:

• This variable is required to track individual users accurately
• This is the individual user's unique identifiable trait in your system (this can be a string of digits, a database primary key, an email, a name, etc.)
• It MUST be unique across your ENTIRE system
• If you pass a user's e-mail address as user_id it is mapped to both user_id and user_email

How do I configure additional custom variables?

To pass additional custom variables, simply add an additional key: value pair inside the UserIQ "identify" call within your existing UserIQ tracking snippet. See examples below for multi-page and single-page applications.

*Note: don't forget to put a comma after the last current custom variable before adding your new custom variable! 

// identify user
useriq.identify(userId, {
      user_name: YOUR USER NAME VAR HERE,
      account_id: accountId,
      account_name: YOUR ACCOUNT NAME VAR HERE,
      user_email: YOUR USER EMAIL VAR HERE,
      signup_date: YOUR USER SIGNUP DATE VAR HERE, //(YYYY-MM-DD)
       
     // add additional custom variables here like so:
     user_role: INSERT USER ROLE VAR HERE
})
