Swrve user properties
Swrve user properties​
User properties specify the current state of the user. You can use both default and custom properties for tracking and targeting of in-app messages, embedded experiences, and push notifications.
Assign user properties to easily segment your user base and send the status of the user. For example, use the swrve.device_region user property to target users in a certain country, or create a custom user property called premium, and then target non-premium users and premium users.
