Is there a way to retrieve the device UDID using Trigger.IO? Would like to retrieve a universal device identifier.

Based on the latest api docs - no.

We don't have an API to retrieve the UDID because it's deprecated on iOS and apps may be rejected if they use it.

We actually create a unique install ID (not device ID) for Reload - it's something we could expose in an API if needed in the future, but it doesn't seem particularly useful TBH!

Ah thanks for this! We'd like to prevent users from registering multiple accounts of our service per device and thought that locking it down by UDID would be the simplest way. Oh well, back to the drawing board. – user1551227 Aug 28 '12 at 23:26
"the preferred solution since iOS 6 is -[UIDevice identifierForVendor]" - see http://stackoverflow.com/a/6993440/126600, I don't see any mention of this in the trigger.io docs, so likely no support for this as yet.. – zack May 23 '13 at 09:37

What I would suggest you to do is to "play" with preferences, by creating and using your own random UUID in a combination with a registration email address.
