Addressable fields (emails and phone numbers)
Client/contact IDs (depending on how your audience is structured).

Here are the primary reasons the enable identification signals on your website:

Link user sessions to contacts in your audience
Compare a user's activity on different devices
Feed new contacts into your audience

Configuration

Required fields

Make sure you add the following required fields to the library configuration.

Field	Values	Definition
`category`	String. Valid value - `Behavior`.	The category of the signal to enable
`identifierName`	String. Valid values: - `email` - `sms` - `whatsApp` - `contactKey`	Name of the field on which a new or potential contact can be identified.
`identifierValue`	String	The contact information the library has detected (depends on the `identifierName` value).
`name`	String, up to 256 characters	Assign a name to the signal to differentiate it from other signals.
`signalType`	String. For identification signals, use `identification`.	The type of signal to enable

Optional fields

Field	Values	Definition
`effect`	String. Valid values: - `negative` - `positive`	Specify how to interpret the signal. The value will be used for engagement index scoring.
`identificationFromLogin`	Boolean	Informs whether the signal was triggered as a result of a login. This lets you separate sessions where the contact identified themselves explicitly by entering their contact information or implicitly through a cookie or query string parameter.
`signalCustomAttributes`	String	Allows for custom attributes that are not predefined by the product.

Here is an example:

var PageSignal = {
  signalType: "identification",
  name: "identification generated by web site",
  category: "Behavior",
  identifierName: "email", // Required
  identifierValue: "", // Required
  identificationFromLogin: true,
  effect: "positive", // Required
  signalCustomAttributes: []
}     
TLT.logSignal(PageSignal);// Method to push the data to Connect
