I can see duplicate phone numbers for my user properties. What should I do?
User 360 verifies uniqueness solely based on the userId. Therefore, to avoid duplicate phone numbers, make sure that the phone number is set as your userId. This will ensure that each user's phone number is unique in the system.
Can I change the data type in user properties?
Once a property is created in User360, you cannot directly alter its data type or delete it.

How to add contact details to users in bulk?
You can create a CSV file with contact details and upload the CSV file using User Data Import.
Can I connect a database with User 360?
Usecase: I currently store the details of users who click the "STOP" button to unsubscribe from my campaign. I want to integrate this information with User 360 to ensure that campaigns are not sent to those users. Is it possible to use User360 instead of a separate database to store the list of unsubscribers?
- Store user responses directly to User360 table: You can store the user responses in a user property which saves it directly in User360. This allows you to associate the unsubscribe information with each user profile. For more details, refer to the documentation on Storing conversation data in User 360.
- Using events and user APIs: You can use Events and user APIs to store user data to user 360. For more details, see Events and User APIs.
Why is the phone number not saving in User 360? And how can I ensure it gets saved correctly?
The phone number may not be saving in User 360 if it is not entered with the country code. It is important to include the country code when capturing phone numbers to ensure proper saving in the system.
Additionally, you can enable the Prefix a calling code option to automatically add the country code, helping to ensure accurate storage of phone numbers in User 360.
Can I change the datatype of a user property?
Unfortunately, once created, you cannot modify the data type of a property. It's essential to plan and choose the right datatype from the beginning to ensure accurate data management.
Can I delete a user from user 360?
No, deleting a user from user 360 is not possible. Once a user is created, their data becomes a permanent part of the user 360 database. Be cautious when adding users and ensure the accuracy of the information provided.
Data import
Why am I getting Some error occured message when trying to import a CSV file?
Ensure that the CSV file does not contain exponential notation.
What happens if there are duplicate entries in the same CSV file?
The records will be updated based on the sequence as per the configuration. In other words, the record that appears first in the CSV file will be added first, and subsequent duplicate entries will be processed in the order they appear.
My import is failing even when I provide the correct phone numbers
To successfully import the phone user property, it is mandatory to include the country code along with the phone number. If the country code is not provided, the validation process will fail. For more detailed information, see how to create CSV file.
