   @olivM This was an issues I faced as well! I needed extra information about the requests being sent. I opened PR #6 which, if it's merged, will allow the user to specify X-Barstool-UUID as a request header when sending a Saloon request.This way you could pre-define a uuid when sending the request and can then save that against a row in a different table of logs as a barstool_id. So you can store extra information with a direct link to the barstool logs without bloating the barstools table.

   My instance was that we were syncing users from a third party platform and needed to keep track of if something went wrong. We had a user_sync_logs table were were using anyway and adding barstool_id to it would increase visibility of any issues.

   It would allow your code to look something like this:

   $barstoolId = Str::uuid();
   $request = new RequestWhichAcceptsCustomHeaders(headers: ['X-Barstool-UUID' => $barstoolId]);
   $response = $request->send();
   if($response->failed()) {
       UserSyncLog::create([
           'user_id' => auth()->id,
           'barstool_id' => $barstoolId,
       ]);
   }

   Hey @olivM — an update on this: #13 adds exactly what you asked for. You'll be able to attach context to recordings and it gets stored in a new context JSON column on the barstools table:

   use Saloon\Barstool\Barstool;
   
   Barstool::context([
       'user_id' => auth()->id(),
       'tenant_id' => $tenant->id,
   ]);

   It's built on Laravel Context under the hood, so context set in a controller is carried into queued jobs automatically and reset between requests. Existing installs will just need to publish and run a small migration to add the column.

   I'll close this issue once the PR is merged and released. Thanks for the suggestion!
