#### If a user has multiple email addresses as external ids in Segment, what happens when they enter an audience or have a computed trait?

Segment sends an `identify` or `track` call for each email address on the user's account. For example, if a user has three email addresses, this creates three separate users in Iterable.

### Are you able to update a user's email through Iterable?
231+
232+
Updating a user's email in Iterable is currently not possible via Segment. You will have to call updateEmail outside of Segment if you want to be able to do so: Updating a user's email address cannot be achieved with the standard Segment identify call alone. It requires sending an Update Email Request directly to the Iterable API from outside the Segment platform.

The API request outlined [here](https://api.iterable.com/api/docs#users_updateEmail). This needs to be followed in order to ensure Iterable has the correct email address for any users who have updated their email address. A workaround to update an email in Iterable from Segment would be to hit that API endpoint using a destination function.
