Configuration

The _sva object allows you to pre-configure the behavior of the Survicate script, by attaching an additional configuration code before the regular tracking code.

Traits

You can pass custom visitor attributes from your website or application. We’ve reserved some attributes that we handle in a special way. For example, we always expect email to be a string of the user’s email address.

(function(opts) {
  opts.traits = {
    "email": "Respondent's email",
    "first_name": "Respondent's name",
    "last_name": "Respondent's last name", 
    "my_custom_attribute": "Custom attribute value"
  };
})(window._sva = window._sva || {});

Reserved attributes we’ve standardized:

first_name
last_name
email
organization
department
job_title
phone
website
country
address_one
address_two
city
state
zip
fax
annual_revenue
employees

Disable automatic targeting

The visitors targeting script is run automatically every time there is a need to verify if a visitor matches the targeting configuration. We understand that for some users this isn’t the desired behavior, e.g. custom targeting using the _sva.showSurvey method. If you wish to disable this feature, you can use the disableTargeting property.

(function(opts) {
  opts.disableTargeting = true;
})(window._sva = window._sva || {});
