Accessing Acquisition Data in your App

Objective

You have successfully implemented acquisition tracking, but now you need to get access to acquisition data for decisions made later in the app. In this lab exercise you will learn how to get access to your users' acquisition data at runtime. This will enable you to make business decisions within your app based on their acquisition source, campaign, or other custom data.

Pre-requisites

We will be using the Sample app for this lab exercise. If you need help, please see the Download the Sample App section of the Getting started page.

For this exercise, you need to have completed the Basic Acquisition Link Tracking lab exercise.

Implementation steps

Save the data to a variable in your app

1. Navigate to AppDelegate.m

2. In the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method, add code to register for AdobeDataCallback events in the SDK. Inside of the callback, check the ADBMobileDataEvent to make sure it is an ADBMobileDataEventAcquisitionLaunch. If it is, set our acquisitionData variable for use later.

    [ADBMobile registerAdobeDataCallback:^(ADBMobileDataEvent event, NSDictionary * _Nullable adobeData) {
        if (event == ADBMobileDataEventAcquisitionLaunch) {
            _acquisitionData = adobeData;   
        }
    }];
   

Use acquisition data to target a specific audience

1. Navigate to TipDriverViewController.m

2. Let's show a coupon for a free drink to users acquired from our acquisition campaign. In the viewWillAppear: method, modify the trackState:data: call to include the destination and acquisition source in contextData.

    NSDictionary *contextData = @{
        @"trip.destination":_user.trip.destination.name,
        @"acquisitionCampaign":[[AppDelegate acquisitionData] objectForKey:@"a.referrer.campaign.name"] ?: @""
    };
    [ADBMobile trackState:@"Tip Driver" data:contextData];  
   

3. Run the app.

4. Click through the app and travel to the bar. Enjoy your free drink!
