How to deal with multiple user models?

[rathboma]

Hey folks,

I have both Customer and User models, each represents a different type of user (I know, I know).

The docs let me set a different user model, but is there a way to use heya with two user models at the same time?

Something like this?

# config/initializers/heya.rb
Heya.configure do |config|
  config.user_types = ["MyUser", "MyCustomer"]
end

Hi @rathboma, we don't support multiple user models at the global level, but you should be able to set a different user_type per campaign (see here):

class UserOnboardingCampaign < ApplicationCampaign
  user_type "MyUser"

  # ...
end

class CustomerOnboardingCampaign < ApplicationCampaign
  user_type "MyCustomer"

  # ...
end

This is not something I have actually tried doing in practice, however—so you might be the first to explore multi-user campaigns. 😁

If you do try this, would love if you could report back and let me know how it works. I'll leave this open for now as it's an undocumented feature.

Haven't tried this yet, but starting to play around with it.

Actually just googled this question during coding and hit my own issue, lol.
