Step 3: Track user events and actions through your app.

ConvertedinMobileSDK offers a set of predefined events that are commonly used in most e-commerce applications. These predefined events include:

  • ViewContent: To track when a user views content, such as a product.

  • PageView: To track when a user views a specific page.

  • AddToCart: To track when a user adds an item to their cart.

  • InitiateCheckout: To track when a user initiates the checkout process.

  • Purchase: To track when a user completes a purchase.

You can use these predefined events to gather valuable data and insights about user interactions in your application effortlessly.

If the predefined events do not fully meet your tracking needs, don't worry! ConvertedinMobileSDK allows you to create your own custom events using unique identifiers. This flexibility enables you to tailor event tracking to the specific actions and interactions that matter most to your application.

By leveraging both predefined and custom events, you can gain a comprehensive understanding of user behavior and make data-driven decisions to enhance your e-commerce application.

you can use a predefined events with the following code:

ConvertedinMobileSDK.pageViewEvent()
ConvertedinMobileSDK.viewContentEvent()
ConvertedinMobileSDK.AddToCartEvent()
ConvertedinMobileSDK.InitiateCheckoutEvent()
ConvertedinMobileSDK.PurchaseEvent()

or you can create your custom events using the following code:

ConvertedinMobileSDK.addEvent()

  • Please, be mindful of methods that require parameters related to currency, total price, and a set of products. These parameters are crucial for accurate event tracking and analytics in your e-commerce application.

Step 4: Configure Push Notifications

To enable notifications in this framework, you need to integrate it with Google Firebase services. Firebase provides a robust platform for handling notifications, making it easy to send and receive messages in your application.

  1. Create a Firebase Project:

    • If you haven't already, create a Firebase project in the Firebase console.

    • Add your iOS app to the Firebase project by following the steps in the Firebase console.

  2. Add the Firebase SDK to Your iOS App Using Swift Package Manager

  • Open Your Project: In Xcode

  • open your project workspace or project file where you want to add the framework.

  • Go to the "File" menu.

  • Select "Swift Packages."

  • Choose "Add Package Dependency..."

  • Enter the Repository URL:

 https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk.

  • Select the following Firebase packages: (FirebaseCore, FirebaseMessaging )

  • Click Add Package.

  1. Configure Firebase in Your App:

  • Download the GoogleService-Info.plist file from the Firebase console.

  • Add the GoogleService-Info.plist file to your Xcode project by dragging it into the project navigator.

  1. Open your AppDelegate.swift and configure Firebase by adding the following code:

  • Open your app's AppDelegate.swift file.

  • Import Firebase at the top of AppDelegate.swift using the following line of code

 import Firebase

  • In the application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) method, integrate our framework by adding the following code:

 FirebaseApp.configure()

Step 5: Save Device Token

  • After Setup the Push Notification successfully, Implement the didReceiveRegistrationToken method in your AppDelegate.swift file to receive the FCM device token. This method is called when a new token is generated or an existing token is updated, with the following code

 func messaging(_ messaging: Messaging, didReceiveRegistrationToken fcmToken: String?) {
        if let fcmToken = fcmToken {
           ConvertedinMobileSDK.setFcmToken(token: fcmToken )
        }
    }

Step 6: Pass Campaign ID

  • When a user clicks on a push notification, you need to pass the campaign ID to the SDK's onPushNotificationClicked()

  • function. The campaign ID can be found in the payload of the push notification, typically under the key "campaign_id".

Here's how to implement this:

  1. Retrieve the Campaign ID: In the userNotificationCenter(_:didReceive:withCompletionHandler:)method, access the userInfo dictionary from the notification response.

  2. Pass the Campaign ID: If the campaign ID exists in the userInfo, pass it to onPushNotificationClicked().

    func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter,
                                didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse,
                                withCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping () -> Void) {
        
        let userInfo = response.notification.request.content.userInfo
        if let campaingId = userInfo["campaign_id"] as? String {
            ConvertedinMobileSDK.onPushNotificationClicked(campaignId: campaingId)
        }
        completionHandler()
    }

Logging Out or Notification Cessation

  • If you want to stop geting our notification or when the user logout, call our ConvertedinMobileSDK's deleteDeviceToken method to unregister the device for notifications. This ensures that the user no longer receives notifications from your app.

ConvertedinMobileSDK.deleteDeviceToken()

Integrating Firebase for In-App Messages
