Radar supports a number of server-side integrations. Event integrations like webhooks, mParticle, and Braze allow you to send events from Radar to other systems. Geofence integrations like geofence sync and Yext allow you to sync geofences from other systems to Radar.
Event integrations allow you to send events from Radar to other systems.
You can use webhooks to send events and user state from Radar to your server, a Google or Firebase Cloud Function, an AWS Lambda Function, or any HTTP endpoint. From there, you can store events and user state in a database, send them to a marketing automation or analytics platform, and more.
Webhooks are a basic integration, available to Free and Enterprise customers.
Create a webhook on the Radar Integrations page under Webhooks. For Environment, choose Test to receive callbacks for events in the Test environment, or choose Live to receive callbacks for events in the Live environment. For Event Delivery, choose Single Event to receive a single event in each request, or choose Multiple Events to receive multiple events in each request when events occur simultaneously. Finally, enter a URL.
Whenever events are generated, Radar will send a POST request containing event and user data to the specified URL. You can also click the Test button to send test event and user data. If you chose Single Event, the request body will contain an event dictionary and a user dictionary. If you chose Multiple Events, the request body will contain an events array and a user dictionary.
To acknowledge receipt of the request, your webhook should return a 2xx status code (e.g., 200 OK, 201 Created, or 202 Accepted).

}Each webhook has a random security token. The authenticity of a request made to a webhook URL can be verified using the X-Radar-Signature header. If you chose Single Event, the header will contain an HMAC-SHA1 hash of the event ID using the security token as the key. If you chose Multiple Events, the header will contain an HMAC-SHA1 hash of the first event ID using the security token as the key.
Note that you can also receive events client-side via the SDK.
Radar can send events and user traits to Segment as a source. Segment can send those events and user traits to your warehouse and to hundreds of destinations.
Segment is a premium integration, available only to Enterprise customers.
In Segment, add Radar as a source and copy your write key. Then, on the Radar Integrations page under Segment Source, set Enabled to Yes and paste your write key. Note that you can set separate write keys for the Test and Live environments.
Whenever events are generated, Radar will call track and identify to send events and user traits to Segment.
By default, Radar userId maps to Segment userId for logged in users, and Radar deviceId maps to Segment anonymousId for logged out users. However, you can specify custom mappings by setting Radar metadata.segmentUserId or metadata.segmentAnonymousId. For example, on iOS:
// track logged out users with custom anonymousId mapping (not required if using default mapping)
Radar.setMetadata(["segmentAnonymousId": anonymousId])
// track logged in users with custom userId mapping (not required if using default mapping)
Radar.setMetadata(["segmentUserId": userId])See the full list of event and user trait mappings in the Segment integration reference.
Radar can send events and user attributes to mParticle as an input feed. You can use events and user attributes to build audiences in mParticle, and mParticle can send events and user attributes to hundreds of outputs.
The mParticle SDK can also install and initialize the Radar SDK as a kit.
mParticle is a premium integration, available only to Enterprise customers.
To configure the feed, in mParticle, add Radar input feeds for iOS and Android and copy your API keys and secrets. Then, on the Radar Integrations page under mParticle Feed, set Enabled to Yes and paste your API keys and secrets.
Whenever events are generated, Radar will send events and user attributes to mParticle. Events and user attributes from iOS devices will be sent to the iOS input feed, and events and user attributes from Android devices will be sent to the Android input feed. The Radar Test environment automatically maps to the Development environment in mParticle, and the Radar Live environment automatically maps to the Production environment in mParticle.
By default, Radar userId maps to mParticle customerid for logged in users. However, you can specify a custom mapping by setting Radar metadata.mParticleCustomerId. For example, on iOS:
// track logged in users with custom userId mapping (not required if using default mapping)
Radar.setMetadata(["mParticleCustomerId": customerid])See the full list of event and user attribute mappings in the mParticle integration reference.
To configure the kit, on the Radar Settings page under Keys, copy your test and live publishable keys. Then, in mParticle, add and enable Radar outputs for iOS and Android, paste your keys, and choose whether to run automatically.
Install the kit using CocoaPods or Carthage on iOS and Gradle on Android. See the iOS kit code and readme, Android kit code and readme, and mParticle Kit documentation for Radar.
The kit will initialize the Radar SDK and identify the user with the mParticle customer ID. In addition, if you chose to run automatically and the user has granted permissions, the kit will automatically track the user's location in the foreground on app open and/or in the background.
Radar can send events and user state to Lytics.
Lytics is a premium integration, available only to Enterprise customers.
Before enabling the integration, contact your Lytics account manager. After Lytics is configured, in Lytics, create an API token with no expiration and the Data Manager role.

Note that you can set separate API keys and app identifiers for the Test and Live environments. Finally, if your account is not on https://rest.iad-01.braze.com, select the appropriate API Endpoint.
Whenever events are generated, Radar will send custom events and user attributes to Braze. Events and user attributes from iOS devices will be sent using your iOS app identifiers, and events and user attributes from Android devices will be sent using your Android app identifiers.
By default, Radar userId maps to Braze external_id for logged in users. However, you can track logged out users or specify custom mappings by setting Radar metadata.brazeAlias or metadata.brazeExternalId. If you set metadata.brazeAlias, you must also add a matching alias in Braze with label radarAlias. For example, on iOS:
// track logged out users with alias (deviceId recommended, not required if not tracking logged out users)
Radar.setMetadata(["brazeAlias": deviceId])
Appboy.sharedInstance()?.user.addAlias(deviceId, withLabel: "radarAlias")
// track logged in users with custom external_id mapping (not required if using default mapping)
Radar.setMetadata(["brazeExternalId": userId])
Appboy.sharedInstance()?.changeUser(userId)See the full list of event and user attribute mappings in the Braze integration reference.
