Tracking User Time Zone and Language

You can record the user’s time zone and language in eSputnik through SDK or through API, if you transfer data from the backend.

iOS SDK

Add user attributes like time zone and language by the following method:

Reteno.updateUserAttributes(externalUserId: "USER_ID", userAttributes: UserAttributes, subscriptionKeys: [String], groupNamesInclude: [String], groupNamesExclude: [String])

The UserAttributes object example:

func saveUser() {
    let attributes = UserAttributes(
        phone: user.phone,
        email: user.email,
        firstName: user.firstName,
        lastName: user.lastName,
        languageCode: "en-US",
        timeZone: "Europe/Kyiv"
    )
    Reteno.updateUserAttributes(externalUserId: user.id, userAttributes: attributes)
}

            languageCode = "en-US",

        )
        val user = User(
