Engage has a flexible identity resolution layer that allows you to build user profiles based on multiple identifiers like `user_id`, `email`, or `mobile advertisingId`. However, different destinations may require different keys, so they can do their own matching and identification. For example, Zendesk requires that you include the `name` property.

Engage includes logic to automatically enrich payloads going to these destinations with the required keys.

If you send events to a destination that requires specific enrichment Segment doesn't already include, you can use [ID Sync](/docs/engage/trait-activation/id-sync/) or [Trait Enrichment](/docs/engage/trait-activation/trait-enrichment/) to send additional data points to the destination.

You might also see that profiles that have multiple values for the same `external_id` type, for example a profile might have multiple email addresses. When this happens, Engage sends one event per email for each audience or computed trait event. This ensures that all downstream email-based profiles receive the complete audience or computed trait.

The second, less common case is that Engage re-syncs an audience or computed trait when a new `external_id` is added to a profile. For example, an ecommerce company has an anonymous visitor with a computed trait called `last_viewed_category = 'Shoes'`. That visitor then creates an account and an email address is added to that profile, even though the computed trait value hasn't changed. When that email address is added to the profile, Engage re-syncs the computed trait that includes an email to downstream tools. This allows the ecommerce company to start personalizing the user's experience from a more complete profile.
