When integrating with an existing application, you may already know some information on the advocates completing those challenges. Identify those advocates to associate completions with the correct user.
Call this endpoint to locate an existing contact, or create a new contact. You should make this call prior to retrieving challenges in order to supply the information returned with this request when submitting a challenge (see "Submitting a Challenge")
What happens when you don't identify advocates?
If you don't identify your advocates prior to completing challenges with AdvocateAnywhere, we will attempt to locate the advocate using a guest cookie that we associate with the advocate.
If you are calling AdvocateAnywhere from within a browser, this will normally work. If you are calling it from a backend service, it almost certainly won't. Wherever possible, if you have the information, it's good practice to identify advocates.
Here be Dragons!
