Naming convention to be followed for Personalization The names of the user attribute added for personalization can contain only the following: String characters, a combination of alphabets and numbers, and underscores. For example, the attribute name to be personalized can be username or user_name, or usernmae1, while user name and user name1 are not allowed. If the attribute name were to contain any character other than string characters or underscore or alphanumerics, for example, spaces, only numbers, or special characters, personalization would not work. |

Note: If the user attributes are disabled (post enabling), the standard SLA would apply to the subsequent API requests.
