clevertap-ruby

Module providing access to the CleverTap API

Install

Add to your Gemfile

gem 'clever_tap', github: 'tradeo/clevertap-ruby'

Usage

Configure the client

Create an instance of CleverTap object: Available in v0.2.0 but will be depricated as of v1.0.0

CLEVER_TAP = CleverTap.new(account_id: '<your account ID>', passcode: '<your passcode>')

You can add configuration settings as parameters like above and/or using a block.

CLEVER_TAP = CleverTap.new do |config|
  config.account_id = '<your account ID>' # mandatory
  config.passcode = '<your passcode>' # mandatory
  config.identity_field = 'ID' # default value "identity"

  config.configure_faraday do |faraday_config| # optional
    faraday_config.adapter :httpclient # default adapter "net_http"
  end
end

As of v0.3.0 the new way of setting up CleverTap is:

CleverTap.setup do |config|
  # Default ID could be reset later
  # case by case when uploading Profile/Event
  config.identity_field = 'ID'

  config.account_id = 'the-account-id'
  config.account_passcode = 'the-passcode'
end

Then creating a shared instance to use trough the app (v0.3.0 and above)

clevertap = CleverTap::Client.new

# You can add callbacks for successfull and failed calls as so:
clevertap.on_successful_upload do |response|
  # log the response as response.to_s
  # response is of type CleverTap::Response
  # having methods `success` (true or false)
  # and `failures` (empty if success == true)
  # contains hash with errors returned from CleverTap endpoint
end

clevertap.on_failed_upload do |response|
  ...
end

Upload a profile

.upload_profile accepts as a first argument an object responding to #to_h and #[].

profile = {
  'identity' => '666',
  'Name' => 'John Bravo'
}

client = CleverTap.new(account_id: '<your account ID>', passcode: '<your passcode>')
response = client.upload_profile(profile)

response.success # => true / false
response.status # => 'success' / 'partial' / 'fail'
response.errors # => [ {  }, ...]

Date field used as a time stamp is optional. If it's missing the current time stamp will be send instead. The value should respond to .to_i and return epoch time.

profile = CleverTap::Profile.new(
  data: { 'ID' => 1, 'Name' => 'John Doe' }, # MANDATORY, expects to receive a hash containing the identity field specified in `CleverTap.setup`, or below
  identity_field: 'field_name' | false,      # optional
  fbid: '34322423',                          # optional, facebook id, can replace original identity
  gpid: '34322423',                          # optional, google plus id, can replace original identity
  objectId: '0f5d5fff698245f1ac5f192c',      # optional, uniq CleverTap identifier
  timestamp_field: 'Created At',             # optional, has to be present in the `data` hash, else it throws
  custom_timestamp: 1468308340               # optional, custom time stamp if user needs to set a particular timestamp, not presented in the object, takes precedence
)

clever_tap.upload(profile)
clever_tap.upload(profiles) # works as well with [CleverTap::Profile]

Upload an event

Available in v0.2.0 but will be depricated as of v1.0.0 .upload_event accepts as a first argument an object responding to #to_h and #[] and a second parameter keyword argument name: <name>.

event = {
  'identity' => '666',
  'Name' => 'Jonh Bravo',
  'Cookie ID' => '424242'
}

client = CleverTap.new(account_id: '<your account ID>', passcode: '<your passcode>')
response = client.upload_event(event, name: 'registration')

response.success # => true / false
response.status # => 'success' / 'partial' / 'fail'
response.errors # => [ {  }, ...]

As of v0.3.0 the new way of uploading Event(s) is:

event = CleverTap::Event.new(
  data: { 'ID' => 1, 'Field' => 'Value' } # MANDATORY, expects to receive a hash containing the identity field specified in `CleverTap.setup`, or below
  name: 'Event Name',                     # MANDATORY
  identity_field: 'field_name' | false,   # optional, has to be present in the `data` hash, else it throws
  fbid: '34322423',                       # optional, facebook id, can replace original identity
  gpid: '34322423',                       # optional, google plus id, can replace original identity
  objectId: '0f5d5fff698245f1ac5f192c',   # optional, uniq CleverTap identifier, can replace identity
  timestamp_field: 'Open Time',           # optional, has to be present in the `data` hash, else it throws
  custom_timestamp: 1468308340,           # optional, custom time stamp if user needs to set a particular timestamp, not presented in the object
)

clevertap.upload(event)
clevertap.upload(events) # Works as well with [CleverTap::Event]

Send requests as Dry Run

Passing parameter dry_run: true to upload methods you can test the data submitted for a validation errors. The record won't be persisted.

Available in v0.2.0 but will be depricated as of v1.0.0

  client = CleverTap.new(account_id: '<your account ID>', passcode: '<your passcode>')
  client.upload_profile(profile, dry_run: true)

As of v0.3.0 the new way of using a Dry Run is :

clevertap.upload(event, dry_run: true)

Handle the response

The CleverTap response object has the following interface:

  1. #status - "success" / "partial" / "fail"
  2. #success - true when is the status is "success" and false otherwise
  3. #errors - it's actually unprocessed synonym returned when the request is successful(code 200), but will contains the failed records even when the code is different than 200.
  4. #code - codes from 200-500. When it's 200, errors can contains a validation error codes. When it's -1 the error is custom and more info can be found in the message. More info about the codes can find CleverTap Docs

More documentation you can find in the specs
