Personal Data

Send names, contact details, and demographics to Pulsate to unlock personalization — first name is especially valuable for push, in-app, and inbox templates (“Hi John…”).

Methods

Method	Notes
`updateFirstName(String)`
`updateLastName(String)`
`updateEmail(String)`
`updatePhoneNumber(String)`	E.164 format: `+` country code + number, max 15 digits. US example: `+1408XXXXXXX`
`updateGender(PulsateGender)`	`PulsateGender.MALE` or `PulsateGender.FEMALE`
`updateAge(String)`	Age is passed as a string, e.g. `"30"`
`setPrivacy(PulsatePrivacy)`	`PulsatePrivacy.SUBSCRIBE` / `PulsatePrivacy.UNSUBSCRIBE` — see Privacy

All of these (except setPrivacy, which is real-time) are cached locally and synced when the app enters the background. Call forceAttributeSync() to push them through immediately.

Example

Send data once the session is active:

val pulsateManager = PulsateFactory.getInstance()
pulsateManager.startPulsateSessionForAlias(
    "JohnSmithAlias",
    object : IPulsateRequestListener {
        override fun onSuccess() {
            pulsateManager.updateFirstName("John")
            pulsateManager.updateLastName("Smith")
            pulsateManager.updateEmail("john.smith@example.com")
            pulsateManager.updatePhoneNumber("+14085551234")
            pulsateManager.updateGender(PulsateGender.MALE)
            pulsateManager.updateAge("30")
            pulsateManager.setPrivacy(PulsatePrivacy.SUBSCRIBE)
        }
        override fun onError(e: Throwable?) { }
    },
)
