programatically adding profile properties to user profiles from the internets

[RJBu]

is it possible to programatically add profile properties to a user profile from web ?   I can't find anything on if this is possible or how to do it.  I'm trying to make a call from a page on my site that would add a user properties (user.someProp) to the visitor of the site so I can use it in a Profile Script for audience segmentations.

Hi @RJBu , 

You can pass profile attributes in a webpage, just like you pass normal mbox/page parameters. 

For example, You can use the below code for passing a profile parameter let's say UserGroup : 

function targetPageParams(){
return "profile.UserGroup=newUser";
}

You can also pass the profile parameters in a JSON format as given below : 

targetPageParams = function() {
return {
"profile": {
"UserGroup": "NewUsers"
}
};
};

Hope it helps,

would these properties then be accessible in the profile scripts (via UserGroup=newUser in your example) ?

Yes @RJBu , 

These parameters can be fetched in profile script using user.get('UserGroup'). 

And if you want to create an audience for these parameters, you can directly create an audience in adobe target without having the need of profile script. 

In audience, you can create the following rule :

visitor profile -> UserGroup equals 'newUser'. 

Hope it helps.
