Send user data to Kameleoon

The Map endpoints allow to store additional data for a given key (usually a visitor code or an internal User ID), which can then be retrieved and used for targeting and segmentation purposes, by using the retrieveDataFromRemoteSource method available in our Activation API and all our SDKs. You can also use the map endpoint to retrieve stored data for a given key.

Example of Payload
