Using the Javascript SDK

Personizely exposes some Javascript methods to give you more flexibility in using it.


Identify API



ply.identifyVisitor(data) - returns a Promise

data - object, containing information about the visitor and custom fields values. The object can have the following properties:

email - string, a valid email address
firstName - string, visitor's first name
lastName - string, visitor's last name
phone - string, visitor's phone number
companyName - string, visitor's company name
companyTitle- string, visitor's company title
marketingConsent- boolean, visitor's marketing consent status
privacyConsent- boolean, visitor's privacy consent status
address - string, visitor's address
bio - string, visitor's bio
customFieldValues" - object, visitor's custom field's values


The custom field values object is an object where the keys are the custom fields id's which can be found on the Settings page and the values are the values of the respective fields for current visitor.

For radio and select field types you need to make sure that the choice options are valid ones, so if you have a field named "Gender" with 2 options: Male, Female, you won't be able to save a different value than one of those two values.
The checkbox type fields should receive a boolean value.
The number type fields should receive a numeric value.

An example call:
window.ply.identifyVisitor({
  "email": "test@personizely.net",
  "firstName": "John",
  "lastName": "Doe",
  "phone": "+1665599555",
  "companyName": "Personizely",
  "companyTitle": "CEO",
  "marketingConsent": true,
  "privacyConsent": true,
  "address": "5th Avenue",
  "bio": "My bio",
  "customFieldValues": {
     "1": "Male"
   }
})


Goal Tracking API



To track custom goals using JS use the exampe below:
ply.trackGoal('%Event name%', %Goal value%)

Event name - the name of the event (can be anything)
Goal value - goal value in the currency of you website

For example to track a purchase worth 100$ on your site, you can use the following code on your thank-you page:
ply.trackGoal('Purchase', 100)

Manual Widget Trigger



ply.showWidget(id, suppressRules)

You show up any widget using this method indifferently of the triggers it has assigned to it.

id - integer, the id of the widget
suppressRules - boolean, whether to suppress the widget rules
