How to update user properties with your AI

Connect Kissmetrics to your AI client once. After that, you can change user data and organize segments just by talking to your agent.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I update user properties with my AI?

You tell your agent which user to target and what data to change. It uses the Kissmetrics connector to apply those updates directly to your customer profiles. You'll see how the data moves in the breakdown below.

The outcomes

Where your data lands

The AI handles the heavy lifting of data entry and segmentation.

DATA

Updated metadata

The AI modifies specific user attributes. Your Kissmetrics profiles stay current without manual dashboard entry.

GROUPS

Refined segments

Changing properties allows your agent to move users into different segments. This keeps your targeting accurate.

LOGIC

Natural language

You describe the change in plain English. The agent translates your intent into the correct technical command.

HUMAN

Your final say

You control which users get updated. The AI won't run bulk changes unless you explicitly tell it to.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request a change.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat and the Kissmetrics API.

  1. Identify the user

    Your agent finds the specific person in Kissmetrics using the identifiers you provide.

    set_person_properties

  2. Parse the update

    The AI pulls the specific property names and new values from your message.

    set_person_properties

  3. Execute the change

    The agent sends the command to Kissmetrics to overwrite the existing metadata.

    set_person_properties

  4. Confirm the update

    The AI verifies the action was successful and reports back to you.

    set_person_properties

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI delete users from Kissmetrics?

    No. The current tools only allow for updating person properties, not deleting users.

  • 02

    Will the AI change my segment definitions?

    No. The AI can update properties that influence segments, but it cannot modify the segment rules themselves.

  • 03

    Does the AI need my Kissmetrics password?

    No. You connect via Vinkius, which manages the connection securely so you never share passwords with your AI client.

  • 04

    Can I update multiple users at once?

    Yes, if you provide the specific IDs or identifiers for those users in your prompt.

  • 05

    What happens if I give the AI a property name that doesn't exist?

    The AI will attempt to set that property, which will create it in Kissmetrics.
