**Note:** You might be used to some destinations recognizing special traits by slightly different names. For example, Mixpanel recognizes a `$created` trait when the user's account was first created, while Intercom recognizes the same trait as `created_at` instead. Luckily, you don't have to worry about those inconsistencies. Just pass along `createdAt`. **Segment handles all of the destination-specific conversions for you automatically.** Same goes for the rest of the reserved traits.

Segment attempts to handle all the destination-specific conversions for you automatically. If you need help understanding if a specific field will be converted to a destination, take a look at Segment's [open source integration code](https://github.com/segment-integrations?q=&type=all&language=&sort=){:target="_blank"}, view the destination's documentation, or [contact Segment support](https://app.segment.com/workspaces?contact=1).

**You can pass these reserved traits using camelCase or snake_case**, so in JavaScript you can match the rest of your camel-case code by sending `firstName`, while in Ruby you can match your snake-case code by sending `first_name`. That way the API never seems alien to your code base. Keep in mind that not all destinations support these reserved traits, so sending these traits in camelCase and snake_case can result in two sets of traits in other destinations.
