1. Initialization parameters

The TDSettings configuration passed in during initialization is described below

1.1 TDSettings

Property name	Type	Description
appId	String	app id of the project created in the AE backend
serverUrl	String	server url of the project created in the AE backend
coreMode	TDCoreMode	Enum of SDK running modes
enableLog	boolean	Whether to enable log printing
encryptVersion	int	Key version number when data encryption is enabled
encryptKey	String	Public key information when data encryption is enabled

1.2 TDCoreMode

Enum values	Description
NORMAL	Reports data normally, and the data is ingested.
DEBUG	Reports collected data in Debug mode. The device id must be added to the test device list in the AE console. You can view the data collected in real time under AE console -> Debugger. Reported data is stored in the AE system.
DEBUG_ONLY	Reports collected data in DebugOnly mode. The device id must be added to the test device list in the AE console. You can view the data collected in real time under AE console -> Debugger. Reported data is not stored in the AE system.

2. Set client parameters

When you create a client-triggered task, you can fill in Client-side Conditions. For configuration details, see Create client-triggered tasks

The parameters available in Client-side Conditions come from the environment parameters that the client collects automatically and the client parameters that you set through the TDStrategy SDK. After you SET custom client parameters through the APIs provided by the TDStrategy SDK, you can add them to the Client Parameters module in the AE Engage settings and use them in operation tasks.

Note: The names and types of the parameters you SET on the client must match the client parameters configured in the AE Engage backend.

The TDStrategy SDK configures client parameters as follows

using ThinkingData.Strategy;

// Set client parameters. If you set them multiple times, the union is used
Dictionary<string, object> defaultValues = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
    { "key","value"}
};
TDStrategy.AddClientParams(defaultValues);

3. Customize fetch timing

3.1 Automatic fetching

The SDK automatically fetches remote configuration data in the following scenarios

• App cold start
• App foreground/background switch, more than 6 hours after the previous one
• The ThinkingSDK account system changes, for example, on login or logout

3.2 Manual fetching

Call the SDK method manually to fetch remote configuration at any time

TDStrategy.Fetch();

This API has internal rate limiting. Avoid fetching too frequently.

4. Touch funnel events

When you create a client-triggered channel, you can enable the touch funnel settings. For configuration details, see Channel Settings

After you enable the touch funnel, you can configure the event names associated with the funnel steps. You can then view the conversion data of the configured steps on the data details page of operation tasks that use this channel.

Events selected for Delivered and Clicked must meet the following requirements:

• The event must carry Engage-specific parameters. You can get these parameters from the opsProperties property of the TDStrategyResult object in the push content, and report them as follows:

using ThinkingData.Analytics;
using ThinkingData.Strategy;

public class ConcreteStrategyResultListener : TDStrategyResultListener {
    public void OnTriggerResult(TDStrategyResult result) {
         TDAnalytics.Track("ops_click", result.opsProperties);
    }
}

TDStrategy.SetTriggerListener(new ConcreteStrategyResultListener());

5. Send Test

To quickly verify the availability of a channel and the validity of a task, the SDK supports a test mode.

using ThinkingData.Core;

TDSettings settings = new TDSettings();
settings.appId = "AppId";
settings.serverUrl = "ServerUrl";
// debug 
settings.mode = TDCoreMode.DEBUG;
TDApp.Init(settings);

After you enable debug mode on the client, the client fetches test tasks every 5s. In the AE Engage module, you can create channel tests or task tests. While a task is waiting to be triggered, you can watch the progress nodes on the frontend page.
