Use custom attributes values

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.
