# Add OperationID to an authentication

Web SDK supports the association of an identifier to an authentication operation for the purpose of audibility, orchestration or analytics.\
This feature therefore pairs with the [Telemetry API](https://docs.keyless.io/consumer/server-api/telemetry) which integrators can query to retrieve information about a specific authentication event via the WebSDK.

### Appending the OperationID

The operation must be generated by the integrator and set to the Web SDK, here's how:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Headless" %}

```javascript
await openKeylessWebSocketConnection(sym, {
  ...,
  operation: {
    id: OPERATION_ID
  }
})
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Web Components" %}

```html
<kl-auth
  ...
  operation-id="OPERATION_ID"
></kl-auth>
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Retrieving the KeylessID&#x20;

Note if you are planning to call the [Telemetry API](https://docs.keyless.io/consumer/server-api/telemetry) you'll see you need to include the KeylessID (`{userId`}) that Keyless use to identity that specific user. This can be retrieved via a separate call to the [Check Keyless Client Device API](https://authentication-service.eks.core-staging.keyless.technology/redoc#tag/Public/paths/~1v1~1users~1%7Bcustomer%7D~1%7Busername%7D/get). \
\
In order to use this API you will need:

<table><thead><tr><th width="154.68621826171875">Input</th><th>Explanation</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>api_key</td><td>The authorization key provided to you by Keyless.</td></tr><tr><td>customer</td><td>The name associated with the backend tenant provided to you by Keyless. </td></tr><tr><td>username</td><td>The username provided during WebSDK enrollment and required for ongoing authentications. </td></tr></tbody></table>
