## Identify users

## See which users are using your product

## Have you installed the June SDK?

If you haven't installed one of the June SDKs, please do that first before implementing the `.identify` method.

## Users

## Overview

This section provides guidance on using the `identify` method to successfully identify your product's users. This will show you which users are triggering events in June. It is recommended to include this code snippet in the section of your code where user sign-ups, logins, or account details updates are handled.

## Code

Replace `USER_ID` with a unique identifier, preferably the user ID from your database. Including the user's email is also suggested, along with any additional "traits" like avatar, name, role, etc. This information will appear on the user's profile and can be used to filter users in reports.

💡 **Not sure which traits to add?** We automatically map some standard ones: [check out our guide](https://help.june.so/en/articles/6817653-which-traits-you-should-be-tracking)

```javascript
window.analytics.identify('USER_ID', {
  email: 'test@example.com',
  // Optional
  name: 'Joe Bloggs',
  avatar: 'https://avatar.com/asd809sdhoif9as10nc29.png'
  // Add anything else about the user here
});
```

```javascript
analytics.identify('USER_ID',{ 
    email: 'test@example.com',
    // Optional
    name: 'Joe Bloggs',
    avatar: 'https://avatar.com/asd809sdhoif9as10nc29.png'
    // Add anything else about the user here
});
```

```javascript
analytics.identify({
  userId: 'USER_ID',
  traits: {
    email: 'test@example.com',
    // Optional
    name: 'Joe Bloggs',
    avatar: 'https://avatar.com/asd809sdhoif9as10nc29.png'
    // Add anything else about the user here
  }
});
```

```python
analytics.identify(
  user_id="USER_ID",
  traits={
    "email": "test@example.com",
    # Optional
    "name": "Joe Bloggs",
    "avatar": "https://avatar.com/0sd9fsd8y97a0sf99asd.png",
    # Add anything else about the user here
  },
)
```

```coffeescript
Analytics.identify(
  user_id: 'USER_ID',
  traits: {
    email: "test@example.com"
    # Optional
    name: "Joe Bloggs",
    avatar: "https://avatar.com/d78979as8hlsa9088f.png"
    # Add anything else about the user here
  }
)
```

```curl
curl https://api.june.so/sdk/identify
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-H "Authorization: Basic YOUR_WRITE_KEY"
-X POST

{
  "userId": "USER_ID",
  "traits": {
    "email": "test@example.com",
    # Optional
    "name": "Joe Bloggs",
    "avatar": "https://avatar.com/0sd9fsd8y97a0sf99asd.png",
    # Add anything else about the user here
  },
  "timestamp": "2012-12-02T00:31:38.208Z"
}
```

## Next: Track user behaviour

Once you've implemented the `identify` method in your codebase, it's time to track what your users are doing in your product.
