How to create and update contact via JS

You can easily update already existing contact’s data and add a new one using JavaScript.

To update the contact’s data in the Contact List or to create a new one, you need to properly identify your user and fire an event on your web page.

IMPORTANT Include those snippets on every page in your app, immediately before the closing </body> tag to initialize JS API and identify your user.

Connecting the library:

<script type="text/javascript" src="//js.smartsender.io/js/v1/JS_SCRIPT_ID.js>

</script>

Contact identificator:

<script type="text/javascript">

    var contact = new_smartSenderContact('{{identifier}}');

</script>

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Install JS API 
2. Create and generate a JS code snippet.
3. Call JS API methods to manage your user data:

• To add a new user to the Contact List see example: 

  <script type="text/javascript">
  
      contact.Add({    
  
          name: "John Doe",   
  
          email: "user@example.com",
