# User

**When should I use this function?**\
Use it when you are sending only a single key and are only using [standard keys](/implementation/browser/user-info/standard-keys.md). 

### Parameters

| Name      | Type                                        | Required | Description                                                                                      |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| key       | String                                      | Yes      | Defines which user info you are sending, see[ Default keys](#default-keys) that you can use      |
| value     | String                                      | Yes      | Value for the specific key, make sure to match the format                                        |
| providers | Record\<string, boolean>                    | No       | Define for which providers you would like to send user data. By default, we send to all of them. |
| options   | { method?: 'beacon', destination?: string } | No       | See below                                                                                        |

#### Options

**Method**: If you provide the method with a value `beacon`, we will send this event through a [beacon](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Beacon_API) delivery mechanism instead of a regular fetch.

**Destination**: We recommend specifying the destination, especially if multiple EdgeTag instances exist on the website. If you do not, we will trigger the same event to multiple destinations. The destination value should be the EdgeTag URL.

### Examples

```javascript
edgetag('user', 'email', 'john@site.com')
```

```javascript
edgetag('user', 'city', 'fremont')
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.edgetag.io/implementation/browser/user-info/user.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
