How do I give Entitlement to user that never Subscribed before in the Dashboard?

Although it isn’t possible to create a new RevenueCat user directly in the dashboard, you can create the user and assign the entitlement with a small script calling our API.

Here’s an example script created with an LLM:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# ====== Setup (replace these with your real values) ======
API_KEY="YOUR_REVENUECAT_SECRET_API_V1_KEY"
APP_USER_ID="user_123"               # Your app user id
ENTITLEMENT_ID="pro"                 # The entitlement identifier you set in RevenueCat
BASE_URL="https://api.revenuecat.com/v1"

# NOTE: If APP_USER_ID has special characters (spaces, etc),
# you should URL-encode it before using it in the URL.

# ====== 1) Create (or fetch) the customer ======
# This GET call will "Get or Create Customer" for this APP_USER_ID.
curl -X GET "$BASE_URL/subscribers/$APP_USER_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY"

echo ""  # just print a newline

# ====== 2) Grant a monthly entitlement ======
# This POST call grants a promotional entitlement with duration: monthly.
curl -X POST "$BASE_URL/subscribers/$APP_USER_ID/entitlements/$ENTITLEMENT_ID/promotional" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "duration": "monthly"
  }'

Another method of calling our API is via a browser extension such as Postman.
