I'm trying to get the user ID in order to make additional API calls, but I can't get it other than by performing an additional API call to look up the user's email address, which seems like a rather roundabout way of doing it?
Answer
Is there a way to get the Intercom user ID from the iOS SDK?

Hey @jon-paul, we don't return the Intercom ID in web/mobile requests. You would need to use the 'search' API to locate the relevant user record based on the email or user ID.
