This section describes how to activate the integration between Customer.io and Purchasely

4 - Associate users with a Customer.io User ID (SDK implementation)
To accurately map your Customer.IO user ID with your Purchasely user ID, you need to set the appropriate attribute in the Purchasely SDK. You can also setup a user email if needed.
Look at Customer.IO Documentation to retrieve the mentioned properties.
// Customer.IO User Id
Purchasely.setAttribute(.customerIOUserId, value: userId)
// Customer.IO Email
Purchasely.setAttribute(.customerIOUserEmail, value: email)
// Customer.IO User Id
Purchasely.setAttribute(Attribute.CUSTOMERIO_USER_ID, id)
// Customer.IO Email
Purchasely.setAttribute(Attribute.CUSTOMERIO_USER_EMAIL, email)
// Customer.IO User Id
Purchasely.setAttribute(Attributes.CUSTOMERIO_USER_ID, id);
// Customer.IO Email
Purchasely.setAttribute(Attributes.CUSTOMERIO_USER_EMAIL, email);
// Customer.IO User Id
Purchasely.setAttribute(Attributes.CUSTOMERIO_USER_ID, id);
// Customer.IO Email
Purchasely.setAttribute(Attributes.CUSTOMERIO_USER_EMAIL, email);
// Customer.IO User Id
Purchasely.setAttribute(Purchasely.Attribute.CUSTOMERIO_USER_ID, id);
// Customer.IO Email
Purchasely.setAttribute(Purchasely.Attribute.CUSTOMERIO_USER_EMAIL, email);
This attribute will only be set for new purchases. You won't receive events for purchases made before completing the Customer.IO integration with the SDK.
