Set an Event Delegate

Receive notifications about the in-app message display lifecycle by setting an event delegate. By implementing the event delegate, you can track when an in-app message is shown or closed, control whether an in-app message can be displayed based on your app’s state, and manage the view hierarchy for your app when an in-app message appears.

Make your application a delegate of the SDK’s in-app messaging functionality by using the setEventDelegate method. Set the delegate early in your class’s initialization to make sure that your app can respond to in-app message events.

Use this code to set the event delegate in version 11 of the SDK for iOS.

Add the InAppMessageEventDelegate protocol to your class declaration.
Set your class as the delegate of the SDK for in-app message events early in your class’s initialization.

1// Add the InAppMessageEventDelegate protocol to your class declaration
2class MyViewController: UIViewController, InAppMessageEventDelegate {
3
4    override func viewDidLoad() {
5        super.viewDidLoad()
6
7        // Set your class as the delegate of the SDK for in-app message events
8        InAppMessagingFeature.requestSdk { iam in
9            iam?.setEventDelegate(self)
10        }
11    }
12}

Use this code to set the event delegate in version 10 of the SDK for iOS.

Add the InAppMessageEventDelegate protocol to your class declaration.
Set your class as the delegate of the SDK for in-app message events early in your class’s initialization.

1// Add the InAppMessageEventDelegate protocol to your class declaration
2class MyViewController: UIViewController, InAppMessageEventDelegate {
3
4    override func viewDidLoad() {
5        super.viewDidLoad()
6
7        // Set your class as the delegate of the SDK for in-app message events
8        MarketingCloudSdk.requestSdk { mc in
9            mc?.setEventDelegate(self)
10        }
11    }
12}

Use this code to set the event delegate in version 8.1 of the SDK for iOS.

Add the InAppMessageEventDelegate protocol to your class declaration.
Set your class as the delegate of the SDK for in-app message events early in your class’s initialization.

1// Add the InAppMessageEventDelegate protocol to your class declaration
2class MyViewController: UIViewController, InAppMessageEventDelegate {
3
4    override func viewDidLoad() {
5        super.viewDidLoad()
6
7        // Set your class as the delegate of the SDK for in-app message events
8        SFMCSdk.requestPushSdk { mp in
9            mp.setEventDelegate(self)
10        }
11    }
12}

Use this code to set the event delegate in version 8.0 of the SDK for iOS.

Add the InAppMessageEventDelegate protocol to your class declaration.
Set your class as the delegate of the SDK for in-app message events after the SDK is initialized successfully and is operational.

1// Add the InAppMessageEventDelegate protocol to your class declaration
2class MyViewController: UIViewController, InAppMessageEventDelegate {
3
4    override func viewDidLoad() {
5        super.viewDidLoad()
6
7        // Set your class as the delegate of the SDK for in-app message events
8        // Make sure that the SDK is operational
9        SFMCSdk.mp.setEventDelegate(self)
10    }
11}

Use this code to set the event delegate in version 7 of the SDK for iOS.

Add the MarketingCloudSDKEventDelegate protocol to your class declaration.
Set your class as the delegate of the SDK for in-app message events early in your class’s initialization.

1// Add the MarketingCloudSDKEventDelegate protocol to your class declaration
2class MyViewController: UIViewController, MarketingCloudSDKEventDelegate {
3
4    override func viewDidLoad() {
5        super.viewDidLoad()
6
7        // Set your class as the delegate of the SDK for in-app message events
8        MarketingCloudSDK.sharedInstance().sfmc_setEventDelegate(self)
9    }
10}

After you set the event delegate, implement the delegate methods to respond to in-app message events:

Track Message View States - Respond when messages are shown or closed.
Prevent or Delay Message Display - Control when messages can be displayed.
