Describe Customer

Use describeCustomer to add predefined and custom attributes to the Customer
object of the customer logged into the chat.

Usage

import KustomerChat from '@kustomer/chat-react-native';

KustomerChat.describeCustomer(
  {
    phones: ['+1 555 555 5555'],
    emails: ['[email protected]'],
    twitter: 'someTwitterHandle',
    facebook: 'someFacebookHandle',
    linkedin: 'someLinkedInHandle',
    instagram: 'someInstagramHandle',
  },
  {
    'custom.attribute': 'someValue',
  }
);

Predefined attributes

The following attributes are predefined and can be used to describe the
customer:

Attribute	Type	Description
phones	string[]	An array of phone numbers.
emails	string[]	An array of email addresses.
twitter	string	The customer's Twitter handle.
facebook	string	The customer's Facebook handle.
linkedin	string	The customer's LinkedIn handle.
instagram	string	The customer's Instagram handle.

Custom attributes

You can also send the SDK custom attribute values for custom attributes enabled
in Kustomer.

Always use the attribute name instead of the Display Name listed in the
Klasses editor (Settings > Platform > Klasses) in Kustomer. The attribute
name will always be formatted in camelCase or PascalCase without spaces and also
describes the data type for the attribute.

For example, if a custom attribute has a Display Name of "Avg Sat Score" and has
a number data type, then the name may appear as AvgSatScoreNum. You would use
AvgSatScoreNum, the system name for the custom attribute, with the SDK.

Activate custom attributes for the Customer klass

To update custom attributes, ensure you have the custom attribute key-value
pairs activated for the Customer klass on the Kustomer platform. To edit or view
custom attributes for the Customer klass, go to Settings and select Platform >
Klasses > Customer.
