Identify users and objects within your notify calls

Today we're making it even easier to create and update your users and objects in Knock. You can now perform user and object identifications as an inline action within calls to the workflow trigger API.

When calling the trigger API, you can choose to include maps of properties describing users and objects to identify in Knock in the recipients and actor fields. While processing your workflow, we'll create or update each of these recipients accordingly.

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.knock.app/v1/workflows/my-workflow/trigger' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer sk_test_1234' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{
    "key": "my-workflow",
    "recipients": [
      {"id": "user-1", "name": "User 1", "email": "user1@knock.app"}
    ]
  }'

Our goal is to make Knock as straight forward as possible for you to get started, and powerful enough to scale with your ever evolving needs. With inline identification, you can trigger your first Knock notification with a single API call, as well as explore new ways to manage your users in Knock.

See our guides on identification for users and for objects for more details.
