Ingest a CDP identity alias
Collapse two identities into one profile (Segment-compatible alias) under the tenant’s ingest source ingest_id: body carries the new userId and the previousId it replaces — typically the prior anonymous id — so history captured under the old identifier moves onto the canonical profile through the audited contact-merge flow. Authenticates with HMAC-SHA256 of the raw body using the source’s ingest secret.

Headers
Stripe-style idempotency token. Pass a stable, client-generated value (1-255 chars) to dedupe retries on transient timeouts. The same key+credential+path replays the original response for 24h on 2xx (5min on 4xx, 30s on 5xx). Returns 409 if a concurrent request with the same key is already in flight; replayed responses include the Idempotency-Replay: true response header.
Required string length:
1 - 255Sandbox opt-in for Clerk-session-authenticated requests — see Test mode explained for the full credential-header matrix and worked samples. Set to true to route the call through the test-mode pipeline: no real provider delivery, no credits deducted, response meta.test_mode: true. Ignored for live API keys (dv_live_sk_*) — server-to-server clients must use a test-prefixed key (dv_test_sk_*) to exercise sandbox. Test-prefixed keys unconditionally enable sandbox regardless of this header.
Available options:
true, false Path Parameters
Body
application/json
The new canonical user identifier.
Example:
"user_12345"
The identifier being replaced — typically the prior anonymous id.
Example:
"anon_8f3d2c1a"
Segment context block (locale, userAgent, …).
Example:
{ "locale": "en-US" }
When the aliasing occurred (ISO 8601).
Example:
"2026-10-11T09:24:00.000Z"
Idempotency key — retries with the same messageId deduplicate.
Example:
"msg_Rt6Yp2Vb"
Response
The ingest acknowledgement — received, the stored event_id, and the merge outcome (merge_action, target_contact_id, source_contact_id) — in the standard { data, meta } envelope.
