End User Details

The following variables are associated with a specific end user. An end user is identified by their end user ID, phone number, and email address; for more information on these identifiers see How End Users are Identified.

Variable

Description

Type

user.addDate

 

The time and date that the end user’s details were first added to MEP, in the format yyyy-MM-dd. This timestamp uses the current time and date in London, United Kingdom (either GMT or BST, depending on the time of year). It is a global add date for that end user across all your services, rather than an add date for each service.

You can reference this variable in the Services, Subscriptions and Broadcasts tabs.

String

user.id

 

A unique ID generated by MEP for the end user. This is a hexadecimal string; e.g. D649DC369FD68582.

This ID will be the same across all your subscriptions for the same end user.

You can reference this variable in the Services, Subscriptions and Broadcasts tabs.

String

user.identifiers.email

The end user's email address.

You can reference this variable in the Services, Subscriptions and Broadcasts tabs.

String

 

user.identifiers.msisdn

The end user's phone number in international format. For example, 447700900760 (UK); 12515550123 (US); or 61491570110 (Australia). Note that this does not include a leading +.

You can reference this variable in the Services, Subscriptions and Broadcasts tabs.

Integer

user.identifiers.msisdn.
network

The end user’s mobile operator.

The value of this variable is "UNKNOWN" if the mobile operator is not known or if the end user's phone number is a landline.

You can reference this variable in the Services, Subscriptions and Broadcasts tabs.

String

session.circle

This variable applies only to messaging in India. It identifies which telecoms circle (or "service area") the mobile number is a part of.

You must include the Network Lookup Handler in the service to use this variable, and the variable will need to come after the handler.

You can reference this variable in the Services tab only.
