Updating Identities

Mutations can be used to update the email identities in Nosto. An "identity" is the personal information associated with an email address.
Upserting Identities
The upsertIdentity mutation allows you to upsert the details of an identity. The given example updates the customer attributes for the email [email protected] and requests the details of all the attributes of the identity.
If the identity for [email protected] does not exist, a new identity will be created.
Note: If a specified attribute already exists on that identity, it will be overwritten.
curl -0 -v -X POST https://api.nosto.com/v1/graphql \
-u ":<token>" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/graphql' \
-d @- << EOF
mutation {
  upsertIdentity(identity: {
    email: "[email protected]",
    attributes: [
      {name: "loyalty-tier", value: "Gold"},
      {name: "shoe-size", value: "42"},
    ]
  }) {
    email,
    attributes {
      name,
      value
    }
  }
}
EOF
What can identity attributes be used for?
The attributes associated with an identity can be used to segment users. This works similarly to how the attributes can be leveraged when importing them via a CSV.
Deleting Identities
There is currently no way to delete an identity.
