Methods

Basic usage

Swift

Objective-C

// init with autoRegister:false to manually subscribe later
CleverPush.initWithLaunchOptions(launchOptions,
  channelId: "YOUR_CHANNEL_ID_HERE",
  handleNotificationReceived:{ result in
    if let value = result?.notification.value(forKey: "url") {
      print("Received Notification with URL: \(value)")
    }
  },
  handleNotificationOpened:{ result in
    if let value = result?.notification.value(forKey: "url") {
      print("Opened Notification with URL: \(value)")
    }
  },
  handleSubscribed:{ subscriptionId in
    print("Subscribed to CleverPush with ID: \(subscriptionId ?? "")")
  },
  autoRegister: false
)

//get the locally stored notification.
let localNotifications = CleverPush.getNotifications()

// get remote notification and local notification based on the boolean argument.
// - if you pass boolean argument true you will get the list of remote notification else you will get the locally stored notification.
CleverPush.getNotifications(true, callback: { remoteNotification in
    print(remoteNotification as Any)
})

// subscribe
CleverPush.subscribe()

// unsubscribe later
CleverPush.unsubscribe()

// get subscription status
let isSubscribed = CleverPush.isSubscribed()

// init with autoRegister:false to manually subscribe later
[CleverPush initWithLaunchOptions:launchOptions
            channelId:@"YOUR_CHANNEL_ID_HERE"
            handleNotificationReceived:^(CPNotificationReceivedResult *result) {
              NSLog(@"Received Notification with URL: %@", [result.notification valueForKey:@"url"]);
            handleNotificationOpened:^(CPNotificationOpenedResult *result) {
              NSLog(@"Opened Notification with URL: %@", [result.notification valueForKey:@"url"]);
            } handleSubscribed:^(NSString *subscriptionId) {
                NSLog(@"Subscribed to CleverPush with ID: %@", subscriptionId);
            }
            autoRegister:NO
];

//get the locally stored notification.
NSArray *localNotifications = [CleverPush getNotifications];

// get remote notification and local notification based on the boolean argument.
// - if you pass boolean argument YES you will get the list of remote notification else you will get the locally stored notification.
[CleverPush getNotifications:YES callback:^(NSArray *remoteNotification) {
    NSLog(@"%@", remoteNotification);
 }];

// subscribe
[CleverPush subscribe]

// unsubscribe later
[CleverPush unsubscribe]

// get subscription status
BOOL isSubscribed = [CleverPush isSubscribed]

Tags

Swift

Objective-C

// get available tags
let channelTags = CleverPush.getAvailableTags()

// add/remove tag with action callback
CleverPush.addSubscriptionTag("TAG_ID", callback: { tagId in
    print(tagId as Any)
})

CleverPush.removeSubscriptionTag("TAG_ID", callback: { tagId in
    print(tagId as Any)
})

// add/remove multiple tags with action callback
let tags = ["TAG_ID1", "TAG_ID2"];

CleverPush.addSubscriptionTags(tags, callback: { addedTags in
    print(addedTags as Any)
})
  
CleverPush.removeSubscriptionTags(tags, callback: { remainingTags in
    print(remainingTags as Any)
})

// add/remove tag without action callback
CleverPush.addSubscriptionTag("TAG_ID")
CleverPush.removeSubscriptionTag("TAG_ID")

// add/remove multiple tags without action callback
CleverPush.addSubscriptionTags(tags)
CleverPush.removeSubscriptionTags(tags)

let hasTag = CleverPush.hasSubscriptionTag("TAG_ID")

let subscriptionTags = CleverPush.getSubscriptionTags()
let subscriptionTopics = CleverPush.getSubscriptionTopics()
CleverPush.setSubscriptionTopics(["ID_1", "ID_2"])

// get available tags
NSArray* channelTags = [CleverPush getAvailableTags];

// add/remove tag with action callback
[CleverPush addSubscriptionTag:@"TAG_ID" callback:^(NSString *tagId) {
    NSLog(@"%@",tagId);
}];

[CleverPush removeSubscriptionTag:@"TAG_ID" callback:^(NSString *tagId) {
    NSLog(@"%@",tagId);
}];

// add/remove multiple tags with action callback
NSArray *tags = @[@"TAG_ID1", @"TAG_ID2"];

[CleverPush addSubscriptionTags:tags callback:^(NSArray *addedTags) {
    NSLog(@"%@",addedTags);
}];
    
[CleverPush removeSubscriptionTags:tags callback:^(NSArray *remainingTags) {
    NSLog(@"%@",remainingTags);
}];

// add/remove tag without action callback
[CleverPush addSubscriptionTag:@"TAG_ID"];
[CleverPush removeSubscriptionTag:@"TAG_ID"];

// add/remove multiple tags without action callback
[CleverPush addSubscriptionTags:tags];
[CleverPush removeSubscriptionTags:tags];

BOOL hasTag = [CleverPush hasSubscriptionTag:@"TAG_ID"];

NSArray* subscriptionTags = [CleverPush getSubscriptionTags];
NSArray* subscriptionTopics = [CleverPush getSubscriptionTopics];
[CleverPush setSubscriptionTopics:@{@"ID_1", @"ID_2"}];

Automatic Tag Assignment

The SDK can also automatically assign tags by using the trackPageView method. In simple cases you can just give the method a URL. In the CleverPush backoffice you can then set trigger the tags by matching URL Pathname RegExes. You can optionally also set combinations of min. visits, seconds or sessions for this tag.

Let's say you have created a tag with the URL pathname regex "/sports". This would trigger the tag for a subscriber:

Swift

Objective-C

CleverPush.trackPageView("https://example.com/sports/article-123123")

[CleverPush trackPageView:@"https://example.com/sports/article-123123"];

We can also have more advanced use cases here by using Javascript functions for matching. For example you created a tag with the following function in the CleverPush backend: params.category === "sports". This would then trigger the tag for a subscriber:

Swift

Objective-C

CleverPush.trackPageView("https://example.com/anything", params: ["category" : "sports"])

[CleverPush trackPageView:@"https://example.com/anything" params:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: @"sports", @"category", nil]];

Once the trackPageView method has been implemented you can set up all the tags dynamically in the CleverPush backend without touching your code.

Topics

Swift

Objective-C

//set the tint color for the topic attributes (save button and switches)
CleverPush.setNormalTintColor(UIColor .systemPurple);

//set branding color while you're going to enable highlighting newly added topic
CleverPush.setBrandingColor(UIColor .systemRed);

// get all the subscription topics
let subscriptionTopics = CleverPush.getSubscriptionTopics()

// set multiple subscription topics
CleverPush.setSubscriptionTopics(["ID_1", "ID_2"])

// get all the available topics
CleverPush.getAvailableTopics { channelTopics_ in
    print(channelTopics_ as Any)
}

// add a single topic
CleverPush.addSubscriptionTopic("ID_1")

// remove a single topic
CleverPush.removeSubscriptionTopic("ID_1")

let hasTopic = CleverPush.hasSubscriptionTopic("TOPIC_ID");

// let the user choose his topics
CleverPush.showTopicsDialog()

//set the tint color for the topic attributes (save button and switches)
[CleverPush setNormalTintColor:[UIColor systemPurpleColor]];

//set branding color while you're going to enable highlighting newly added topic
[CleverPush setBrandingColor:[UIColor systemRedColor]];

// get all the subscription topics
NSArray* subscriptionTopics = [CleverPush getSubscriptionTopics];

// set multiple subscription topics
[CleverPush setSubscriptionTopics:@{@"ID_1", @"ID_2"}];

// get all the available topics
[CleverPush getAvailableTopics:^(NSArray* channelTopics_) {
    NSLog(@"CleverPush: Available topics %@", channelTopics_);
}];

// add a single topic
[CleverPush addSubscriptionTopic:@"ID_1"];

// remove a single topic
[CleverPush removeSubscriptionTopic:@"ID_1"];

BOOL hasTopic = [CleverPush hasSubscriptionTopic:@"TOPIC_ID"];

// let the user choose his topics
[CleverPush showTopicsDialog];

[CleverPush setTopicsChangedListener:^(NSArray* topicsIds) {
    NSLog(@"CleverPush: Changed topicsIds %@", topicsIds);
});

Here is how the topics dialog looks like:

Attributes

Swift

Objective-C

CleverPush.getAvailableAttributes { availableAttributes in
    print(availableAttributes as Any)
}

let subscriptionAttributes = CleverPush.getSubscriptionAttributes()

let attributeValue = CleverPush.getSubscriptionAttribute("ATTRIBUTE_ID")

// You can set string values like this
CleverPush.setSubscriptionAttribute("ATTRIBUTE_ID", value: "ATTRIBUTE_VALUE")

// Please provide dates in the following format: YYYY-MM-DD
CleverPush.setSubscriptionAttribute("birthdate", value: "2020-06-21")

// You can also push/pull values to special array attributes (e.g. "categories")
CleverPush.pushSubscriptionAttributeValue("categories", value: "category_1");
CleverPush.pullSubscriptionAttributeValue("categories", value: "category_1");

[CleverPush getAvailableAttributes^(NSDictionary* availableAttributes) {
    NSLog(@"CleverPush: Available attributes %@", availableAttributes);
}];

NSDictionary* subscriptionAttributes = [CleverPush getSubscriptionAttributes];

NSString* attributeValue = [CleverPush getSubscriptionAttribute:@"ATTRIBUTE_ID"];

// You can set string values like this
[CleverPush setSubscriptionAttribute:@"ATTRIBUTE_ID" value:@"ATTRIBUTE_VALUE"];

// Please provide dates in the following format: YYYY-MM-DD
[CleverPush setSubscriptionAttribute:@"birthdate" value:@"2020-06-21"];

// You can also push/pull values to special array attributes (e.g. "categories")
[CleverPush pushSubscriptionAttributeValue:@"categories" value:@"category_1"];
[CleverPush pullSubscriptionAttributeValue:@"categories" value:@"category_1"];

Country & Language

You can optionally override the country & language which is automatically detected from the system and can be used for targeting / translations.

Swift

Objective-C

CleverPush.setSubscriptionLanguage("en");
CleverPush.setSubscriptionCountry("US");

[CleverPush setSubscriptionLanguage:@"en"];
[CleverPush setSubscriptionCountry: @"US"]

Received Notifications

(App Group from setup step 10 is required):

Swift

Objective-C

let notifications = CleverPush.getNotifications() as? [CPNotification]
print(notifications as Any)
print(notifications?[0].id as String)

NSArray* notifications = [CleverPush getNotifications];

Remove Notification

You can remove notification stored locally using Notification ID

Swift

Objective-C

CleverPush.removeNotification("notification_Id")

[CleverPush removeNotification:@"notification_Id"];

App Banners

(Available from version 1.3.0)

Swift

Objective-C

CleverPush.setAppBannerOpenedCallback { (_: CPAppBannerAction?) in
        print("App Banner Opened")
}

// You can also show one banner by its ID (we recommend app banner events for production usage)
CleverPush.showAppBanner("BANNER_ID")

[CleverPush setAppBannerOpenedCallback:^(CPAppBannerAction *action) {
  NSLog(@"App Banner Opened");
}];

// You can also show one banner by its ID (we recommend app banner events for production usage)
[CleverPush showAppBanner:@"BANNER_ID"];

Get banners by group ID

Swift

Objective-C

CleverPush.getAppBanners(byGroup: groupId) { banners in
  // do something with the banners
}

[CleverPush getAppBannersByGroup:groupId callback:^(NSArray<CPAppBanner *> *banners) {
  // do something with the banners
}];

Disabling banners

You can also disable app banners temporarily, e.g. during a splash screen. Banners are enabled by default. If a banner would show during this time, it is added to an internal queue and shown when calling enableAppBanners.

Swift

Objective-C

CleverPush.disableAppBanners();
CleverPush.enableAppBanners();

[CleverPush disableAppBanners];
[CleverPush enableAppBanners];

Development mode

You can enable the development mode to disable caches for app banners, so you always see the most up to date version.

Swift

Objective-C

CleverPush.enableDevelopmentMode();

[CleverPush enableDevelopmentMode];

HTML Banners

CleverPush supports various JavaScript functions which can be called from HTML banners:

JavaScript

CleverPush.subscribe();
CleverPush.unsubscribe();
CleverPush.closeBanner();
CleverPush.trackEvent(eventId, propertiesObject);
CleverPush.trackClick(buttonId);
CleverPush.trackClick(buttonId, customDataObject);
CleverPush.openWebView(url);
CleverPush.setSubscriptionAttribute(attributeId, value);
CleverPush.addSubscriptionTag(tagId);
CleverPush.removeSubscriptionTag(tagId);
CleverPush.setSubscriptionTopics(topicIds);
CleverPush.addSubscriptionTopic(topicId);
CleverPush.removeSubscriptionTopic(topicId);
CleverPush.showTopicsDialog();

Event Tracking

Events can be used to track conversions or trigger app banners.

Swift

Objective-C

CleverPush.trackEvent("EVENT NAME")

// track an event with custom properties
CleverPush.trackEvent("EVENT NAME", properties: ["property-1": "value"])

// track an event with a specified amount
CleverPush.trackEvent("EVENT NAME", amount: 37.50)

[CleverPush trackEvent:@"EVENT NAME"];

// track an event with custom properties
[CleverPush trackEvent:@"EVENT NAME" properties:@{
  @"property-1": @"value"
}];

// track an event with a specified amount
[CleverPush trackEvent:@"EVENT NAME" amount:37.50];

Follow up Events

Events can be used to trigger follow-up campaigns.

Swift

Objective-C

CleverPush.triggerFollowUpEvent("EVENT NAME")

// add custom parameters
CleverPush.triggerFollowUpEvent("EVENT NAME", ["id": "123456"])

[CleverPush triggerFollowUpEvent:@"EVENT NAME"];

// add custom parameters
[CleverPush triggerFollowUpEvent:@"EVENT NAME" parameters:@{@"id": @"123456"}];

Tracking Consent

You can optionally require a tracking consent from the user (e.g. you get this consent from a CMP). If you tell our SDK to wait for the tracking consent, it will not call any tracking-related features until the consent is available. Calls will be queued and automatically executed until the consent is available.

Step 1: Call this before initializing the SDK:

Swift

Objective-C

CleverPush.setTrackingConsentRequired(true)

[CleverPush setTrackingConsentRequired:YES];

Step 2: Call this when the user gave his consent (needs to be called on every launch):

Swift

Objective-C

CleverPush.setTrackingConsent(true)

[CleverPush setTrackingConsent:YES];

Authorization Token

You can set an authorization token that will be used in an API call.

Swift

Objective-C

CleverPush.setAuthorizerToken("YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN_HERE")

[CleverPush setAuthorizerToken:@"YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN_HERE"];
