Other Methods

There are additional methods available within the SDK for supporting specific use cases. You can discuss your use case and integration approach with Pulse account executive or support@pulseid.com.

Custom Positioning

---

You can use custom positioning technologies for your use case with Pulse's Campaign targeting and Analytics capabilities.

1. When user enters a monitored region, use the enteredRegion method in Pulse SDK to pass the region information. You also need to specify the positioning technology used for monitoring using pulseRegion.type so appropriate Campaigns can be targeted. You can also give a custom location so by passing CLLocation along with the region. For e.g.:

Objective-C Swift

PulseRegion *pulseRegion = [PulseRegion regionWithId:@"9f934102-a9a2-4cf8-85a1-844b66c3fc09"];
pulseRegion.type = PL_GEOMAGNETIC_REGION;
[[PulseSDK sharedClient] enteredRegion:pulseRegion location:(CLLocation*)];

let pulseRegion = PulseRegion.init(id: "9f934102-a9a2-4cf8-85a1-844b66c3fc09")
pulseRegion?.type = RegionType.PL_GEOMAGNETIC_REGION
PulseSDK.sharedClient().enteredRegion(pulseRegion,CLLocation?)

1. When the user leaves the monitored region, use the exitRegion method in Pulse SDK to pass the region and the custom location. For e.g.:

Objective-C Swift

PulseRegion *pulseRegion = [PulseRegion regionWithId:@"9f934102-a9a2-4cf8-85a1-844b66c3fc09"];
pulseRegion.type = PL_GEOMAGNETIC_REGION;
[[PulseSDK sharedClient] exitedRegion:pulseRegion location:(CLLocation*)];

let pulseRegion = PulseRegion.init(id: "9f934102-a9a2-4cf8-85a1-844b66c3fc09")
pulseRegion?.type = RegionType.PL_GEOMAGNETIC_REGION
PulseSDK.sharedClient().exitedRegion(pulseRegion,CLLocation?)

Enter and Exit

Every enteredRegion call needs to have a corresponding exitedRegion call. This is to prevent false enter events and the Platform to deliver Campaigns and Analytics correctly.
