methinks Event Trigger (iOS only)

Integrating methinks event triggers in your app enables:

• Bookmarks: Add timestamps to the automatically recorded videos, allowing you to quickly find the most important video segments.
• In-app Questions: Ask predefined questions anywhere in the user flow.
• Custom Log: Log any custom logs in native iOS key-value pairs.

Caution

To gain the most authentic and meaningful feedback from your users, it’s strongly recommended to add event triggers in a non-intrusive way.

• Frequency of events: Too many events will annoy your users.
• Time of events: Interrupting in the middle of your user fighting a boss is never a good idea.

We recommend less than 5 event triggers within 30 minutes.

Use native NSNotification

methinks uses NSNotification, a native crash-free iOS API that has no impact on performance. Implementation is as simple as 1 line of code. No SDK implementation is needed.

Usage - Event Trigger

Use unique value for event key in userInfo to create your own event trigger. Make sure that the notification name is MTK_EVENT_NOTIFICATION

Obj-C

// Post a Notification using NSNotificationCenter
// The following example adds an event trigger at the time when users finish the tutorial
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"MTK_EVENT_NOTIFICATION" 
                                                    object:nil
                                                  userInfo:@{@"event":@"finished tutorial"}];

// The notification name MT_EVENT_NOTIFICATION is predefined. Please don’t change it.
// Use human-readable strings for @"event" in userInfo

// More examples
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"MTK_EVENT_NOTIFICATION" 
                                                    object:nil 
                                                  userInfo:@{@"event":@"achieved level 10"}];

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"MTK_EVENT_NOTIFICATION"
                                                    object:nil 
                                                  userInfo:@{@"event":@"finished first battle"}];

Swift 3,4,5

NotificationCenter.default.post(name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "MTK_EVENT_NOTIFICATION"),
                              object: nil,
                            userInfo: ["event": "finished tutorial"]) 

Usage - Custom Log

Use standard key-value pair for custom log. Make sure that the notification name is MTK_CUSTOM_LOG_NOTIFICATION

Obj-C

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"MTK_CUSTOM_LOG_NOTIFICATION" 
                                                    object:nil
                                                  userInfo:@{@"freq":@(201)}];


[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"MTK_CUSTOM_LOG_NOTIFICATION" 
                                                    object:nil
                                                  userInfo:@{@"frames":@[@(12),@(34),@(56),@(78)]}];

Swift 3,4,5

let customLog:[String: Int] = ["freq": 201]
NotificationCenter.default.post(name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "MTK_CUSTOM_LOG_NOTIFICATION"),
                              object: nil,
                            userInfo: customLog) 


let customLog:[String: [Int]] = ["frames": [12,34,56,78]]
NotificationCenter.default.post(name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "MTK_CUSTOM_LOG_NOTIFICATION"),
                              object: nil,
                            userInfo: customLog)
