Configuring In-App Messaging

You can enable and configure in-app messages within your application for both iOS and Android.

Configuring in-app messaging for iOS

To enable in-app messaging for iOS, follow these steps:

1. Enable in-app messaging by setting the enable_in_app_messaging parameter to true in your hydra-config.plist file.
2. Add an Image Set named inAppPlaceholder in your project's Assets.xcassets. This image will serve as a placeholder when an in-app message does not include an image.

Configuring in-app messaging for Android

1. Enable in-app messaging by setting the enable_in_app_messaging parameter to true in your hydra-config.json file.
2. Add an image file named hydra_in_app_placeholder to the android/app/src/main/res/drawable folder. This image will be used as a placeholder when an in-app message does not include an image.

Configuring the Inbox API

This API allows you to retrieve and display a list of messages for a user.

To set up the Inbox API, enable the Inbox API by setting the enable_inbox_api parameter to true in your hydra-config.plist file.

Notes

• To use the Inbox API in iOS, you must have added the notification service extension by following the instructions under Configuring rich notifications for iOS.
• The inbox API is always enabled for Android.

Configuring the Inbox UI

This allows you to use the native notification center UI included in Hydra SDK.

To enable the Inbox UI, follow these steps:

1. Enable the Inbox API by following the instructions under Configuring the Inbox API.
2. For iOS:
   1. Enable the Inbox UI by setting the ENABLE_INBOX_UI parameter to true in your hydra-config.plist file.
   2. Configure Inbox UI for iOS by adding an image asset named inboxUIPlaceholder in your project's Assets.xcassets.
   3. To use the default UI configuration for the built-in notification center, set USE_DEFAULT_INBOX_UI_CONFIG to YES in HydraConfig.plist.
   4. To apply a custom UI configuration, set USE_DEFAULT_INBOX_UI_CONFIG to NO, and define the configuration in the INBOX_UI_CONFIG key in HydraConfig.plist.
3. For Android:
   1. Enable the Inbox UI by setting the enable_inbox_ui parameter to true in your hydra-config.json file.
   2. Configure Inbox UI for Android by adding an image file named hydra_inbox_ui_placeholder to the android/app/src/main/res/drawable folder. Inbox UI on Android uses the default configuration.
