Participants ​

Overview ​

Participants represent the users of your website or application. Once you've integrated with Checkmango, each participant can be automatically registered and enrolled into an experiment. Once a participant exists, you can see their profile in the Checkmango dashboard.

For example, participant A clicks on your website and is automatically enrolled into an active experiment. You can then see which variant participant A was delivered and how they behaved after seeing it. Now participant A is registered in Checkmango, you can see their behaviour in future visits.

Identifying Users ​

When creating a new participant in your Checkmango Team, you should create a new, unique ID that is stored in your database. For example, you may want to adopt a similar table structure in your application:

The above table structure has a couple of immediate benefits:

• The Checkmango ID is stored alongside other data
• A unique constraint can be added to the checkmango_id column to prevent duplicates

Of course, you're free to use whatever generation technique for your checkmango_id value.

Identifying Guests ​

If you're implementing Checkmango into an application that does not have user accounts, or you want to track conversions for guest users, you may wish to generate a unique ID and store it within a session or cookie.

You should continue using the same participant ID for users that have converted from a guest to a registered user.
