Does user_id have specific format?

[Question]
Hello,

I’d like to filter out Sendbird user ids from a random pile of strings. (please don’t ask why I need this ;D) - so, when you create an user by calling platform API’s /users, does returned user_id have any specific format? such as starting with some string + 3-8-4-4-12 characters.

Hello @Eueddem_Kim,

user_id is a custom string provided by you at the time of creation so it would only have a standard format if you use one. Sendbird does not generate user_ids.

Oh, thanks! I have to look into our service code more. :slight_smile:
