Braze

Contents

Whenever events are generated, Radar will send custom events and user attributes to Braze. The full list of supported events and user attributes and events is below.

User mapping

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)

Note that Radar uses the special string "(null)" to represent null user attribute values.
