In-App Messaging

Configuring Default In-app Message Behavior

Android

On Android, in-app messages from Braze are automatically displayed natively. To disable this functionality, deselect “Automatically Display In-App Messages” in the Braze configuration editor.

You may alternatively set com_appboy_inapp_show_inapp_messages_automatically to false in your Unity project’s braze.xml.

iOS

On iOS, in-app messages from Braze are automatically displayed natively. To disable this functionality, set game object listeners in the Braze configuration editor, and ensure “Braze Displays In-App Messages” is not selected.

Receiving In-App Message Data in Unity

You may register Unity Game Objects to be notified of incoming in-app messages. We recommend setting game object listeners from the Braze configuration editor. In the configuration editor, listeners must be set separately for Android and iOS.

• If you need to configure your game object listener at runtime, use AppboyBinding.ConfigureListener() and specify BrazeUnityMessageType.IN_APP_MESSAGE.

Parsing In-App Messages

Incoming string messages received in your in-app message game object callback can be parsed into our pre-supplied model objects for convenience.

Use InAppMessageFactory.BuildInAppMessage() to parse your in-app message. The resulting object will either be an instance of IInAppMessage.cs or IInAppMessageImmersive.cs depending on its type.

  IInAppMessage inApp = InAppMessageFactory.BuildInAppMessage(message);
  if (inApp is IInAppMessageImmersive) {
    IInAppMessageImmersive inAppImmersive = inApp as IInAppMessageImmersive;
    if (inAppImmersive.Buttons != null && inAppImmersive.Buttons.Count > 0) {
      inAppImmersive.LogButtonClicked(inAppImmersive.Buttons[0].ButtonID);
    }
  }
}

Analytics

Clicks and impressions must be manually logged for in-app messages not displayed directly by Braze.

Use LogClicked() and LogImpression() on IInAppMessage to log clicks and impressions on your message.

Use LogButtonClicked(int buttonID) on IInAppMessageImmersive to log button clicks. Note that buttons are represented as lists ofInAppMessageButton instances, each of which contains a ButtonID.
