Are there breaking changes in this PR?
No.
Any background context you want to provide?
Friendbuy allows its merchants to add custom traits to their customers when integrating directly with the Friendbuy customer tracking API as part of a feature called widget targeting: http://help.friendbuy.com/en/articles/1916126-widget-targeting
We would like to allow our merchants to pass these custom parameters through the
identify
event to Friendbuy's Destination integration, so that they can use this feature via Segment. The Friendbuy Segment integration currently only accepts Customer ID, Email Address, First Name, and Last Name. We'd like to be able to allow merchants to pass in custom parameters through theidentify
event, such as age, VIP, etc.Is there parity with the server-side/android/iOS integration components (if applicable)?
n/a
Does this require a new integration setting? If so, please explain how the new setting works
No.
