# User Value

**Example**

```json
{
    "email": "john@dow.com",
    "id": "ca4be988-cc85-4c35-94a4-8558e30c1dd3"
    "image": null,
    "isBot": false,
    "name": "John",
}
```

Create a user using either the `email` or user `id`. You can obtain the user `id` by accessing the X endpoint. If a `id` is specified, the email will be ignored.

If the author is a bot, set the `isBot` property to `true`.
