Connect Woosmap Geofencing SDK with Batch

Batch Integration
Send Batch Custom events
React-native Integration: Send Batch Custom events from react-native-plugin-geofencing
Flutter Integration: Send Batch Custom events from geofencing_flutter_plugin

Woosmap Geofencing SDK can send events to Batch from different context types: Geofences, POI, Visits and ZOI.

Whenever location events trigger, you can send custom events with associated properties to your App via a listener method. Your App can then pass them to the Batch SDK and use the Custom Event trigger in the Automation and Journey composers.

Batch Integration

Requirements

Batch SDK: Download the latest stable SDK from appropriate platform page.

Configuration

To configure your app with the Batch SDK follow the instructions on the dedicated SDK Integration guide on https://doc.batch.com/.

Send Batch Custom events

Custom events let you track user activities and key conversions in your mobile app, and tie them back to corresponding push messaging campaigns.

iOS Example

            import WoosmapGeofencing
import Batch

public class DataRegion: RegionsServiceDelegate {

    // the didEnterPOIRegion() is called when a user enters in the geofence 
    public func didEnterPOIRegion(POIregion: Region) {
        
        // if you want only push to batch geofence event related to POI,
        // check first if the POIregion.origin is equal to "POI" 
        if POIregion.origin == "POI"
        {
            if let POI = POIs.getPOIbyIdStore(idstore: POIregion.identifier ?? "") as POI? {

                // Event with custom attributes
                BatchProfile.trackEvent(name: "woos_geofence_entered_event", attributes: BatchEventAttributes { data in
                  data.put(POI.idstore ?? "", forKey: "identifier")
                  data.put(POI.name ?? "", forKey: "name")
                })
            }
            else {
                // error: Related POI doesn't exist
            }
        }
    }

    

Android Example

            public class WoosRegionLogReadyListener implements Woosmap.RegionLogReadyListener {
    public void RegionLogReadyCallback(RegionLog regionLog) {

        POI poi = WoosmapDb.getInstance(getApplicationContext()).getPOIsDAO().getPOIbyStoreId(regionLog.idStore);

        String eventName = "woos_geofence_exited_event";

        if(regionLog.didEnter) {
            eventName = "woos_geofence_entered_event";
        }

        // Event with custom attributes
        BatchEventAttributes attributes = BatchEventAttributes()
          .put("identifier", poi.idStore)
          .put("name", poi.name);
        Batch.Profile.trackEvent(eventName, attributes);
    }
}

React-native Integration: Send Batch Custom events from `react-native-plugin-geofencing`

React Example project

Batch Integration

Follow the Batch Implementation guide in order to add Batch plugin to your project.

Receiving Woosmap Geofencing Region events using iOS Notification

Follow the steps below in order to capture events of geofence SDK

1. Add a new Swift class file, GeofencingEventsReceiver.swift, in the iOS folder and include it in your iOS workspace with the following code in it.

            import Foundation
import WoosmapGeofencing
import react_native_plugin_geofencing

extension Notification.Name {
  static let updateRegions = Notification.Name("updateRegions")
  static let didEventPOIRegion = Notification.Name("didEventPOIRegion")
}

@objc(GeofencingEventsReceiver)
class GeofencingEventsReceiver: NSObject {
  @objc public func startReceivingEvent() {
    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(POIRegionReceivedNotification),
                                           name: .didEventPOIRegion,
                                           object: nil)
  }
  @objc func POIRegionReceivedNotification(notification: Notification) {
    if let POIregion = notification.userInfo?["Region"] as? Region{
      // YOUR CODE HERE
      if POIregion.didEnter {
        NSLog("didEnter")
        
        // if you want only push to batch geofence event related to POI,
        // check first if the POIregion.origin is equal to "POI"
        if POIregion.origin == "POI"
        {
          if let POI = POIs.getPOIbyIdStore(idstore: POIregion.identifier) as POI? {
            
            // Event with custom attributes
            //                        BatchProfile.trackEvent(name: "woos_geofence_entered_event", attributes: BatchEventAttributes { data in
            //                          data.put(POI.idstore ?? "", forKey: "identifier")
            //                          data.put(POI.name ?? "", forKey: "name")
            //                        })
          }
          else {
            // error: Related POI doesn't exist
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
  // Stop receiving notification
  @objc public func stopReceivingEvent() {
    NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: .didEventPOIRegion, object: nil)
  }
  
}

    

2. Update AppDelegate.mm as following

            GeofencingEventsReceiver * objWoosmapReceiver;

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  self.moduleName = @"MarketingConnector";
  // You can add your custom initial props in the dictionary below.
  // They will be passed down to the ViewController used by React Native.
  self.initialProps = @{};

  objWoosmapReceiver = [GeofencingEventsReceiver new];
  [objWoosmapReceiver startReceivingEvent];
  
  
  ....
  ....
  ....
  
  return [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
}

    

Receiving Woosmap Geofencing Region events using Android Broadcasts

Geofencing SDK triggers an action com.woosmap.action.GEOFENCE_TRIGGERED and broadcasts regionLog in the intent extra. The format of the data will always be as follows:

        {
  "longitude": -0.1337,
  "latitude": 51.50998,
  "date": 1700824501480,
  "didenter": true,
  "identifier": "custom-region1",
  "radius": 100,
  "frompositiondetection": false,
  "eventname": "woos_geofence_exited_event",
  "spenttime": 75
}

Follow the steps below in order to listen to the broadcasts sent by the Woosmap Geofencing Plugin

1. Add following dependencies in the build.gradle file of your main project.

              repositories {
          ...
          ....
          maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
      }

    

2. Add following dependencies in the app/build.gradle file of your main project.

                dependencies {
        ...
        ...
        implementation "androidx.room:room-runtime:2.+"
        implementation "com.batch.android:batch-sdk:2.+"
        implementation "woosmap:geofencing-core-android-sdk:core_geofence_2.+"
        implementation "com.webgeoservices.woosmapgeofencing:woosmap-mobile-sdk:4.+"
    }

    

3. Add a new class GeofencingEventsReceiver.java/kt and add following code in it.

              
  import android.content.BroadcastReceiver
  import android.content.Context
  import android.content.Intent

  class GeofencingBroadcastReceiver: BroadcastReceiver() {
      val TAG: String = "GeofencingReceiver"
      private val executorService: ExecutorService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor()

      override fun onReceive(context: Context?, intent: Intent?) {
          Log.d(TAG, "Received broadcast")
          executorService.execute {
              try {
                  // Get region data from the intent
                  val regionData = intent?.getStringExtra("regionLog")?.let { JSONObject(it) }
                  // Fetch the POI from the db based on the identifier
                  val poi = WoosmapDb.getInstance(context).poIsDAO.getPOIbyStoreId(regionData!!.getString("identifier"))

                  if (poi != null) { //poi could be null if the entered/exited region is a custom region.

                      // Event with custom attributes
                      val attributes = BatchEventAttributes()
                          .put("identifier", poi.idStore)
                          .put("name", poi.name)
                      Batch.Profile.trackEvent(
                          regionData.getString("eventname"),
                          attributes
                      )
                  }
              } catch (ex: Exception) {
                  Log.e(TAG, ex.toString())
              }
          }
      }
  }

    

              import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
  import android.content.Context;
  import android.content.Intent;
  import android.util.Log;

  import com.batch.android.Batch;
  import com.batch.android.BatchEventAttributes;
  import com.webgeoservices.woosmapgeofencingcore.database.POI;
  import com.webgeoservices.woosmapgeofencingcore.database.WoosmapDb;

  import org.json.JSONObject;

  import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
  import java.util.concurrent.Executors;

  public class GeofencingEventsReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
      private static final String TAG = "GeofencingReceiver";
      private final ExecutorService executorService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
      @Override
      public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
          Log.d(TAG, "Received broadcast");
          executorService.execute(() -> {
              try{
                  // Get region data from the intent
                  JSONObject regionData = new JSONObject(intent.getStringExtra("regionLog"));
                  // Fetch the POI from the db based on the identifier
                  POI poi;
                  poi = WoosmapDb.getInstance(context).getPOIsDAO().getPOIbyStoreId(regionData.getString("identifier"));
                  if (poi != null){ //poi could be null if the entered/exited region is a custom region.

                      // Event with custom attributes
                      BatchEventAttributes attributes = new BatchEventAttributes()
                              .put("identifier", poi.idStore)
                              .put("name", poi.name);
                      Batch.Profile.trackEvent(regionData.getString("eventname"), attributes);
                  }
              }
              catch (Exception ex){
                  Log.e(TAG, ex.toString());
              }
          });
      }
  }


    

4. Register the newly created Broadcast Receiver from Application class.

              class MainApplication : Application(), ReactApplication {
    lateinit var geofencingEventsReceiver: GeofencingEventsReceiver
    
    override fun onCreate() {
      super.onCreate()
      ...
      ...

        // Register the receiver with the filter
        geofencingEventsReceiver = GeofencingEventsReceiver()
        val filter = IntentFilter("com.woosmap.action.GEOFENCE_TRIGGERED")
        registerReceiver(geofencingEventsReceiver, filter, RECEIVER_EXPORTED)
    }
  }

              //                        })
            }
            else {
              // error: Related POI doesn't exist
            }

    @objc public func stopReceivingEvent() {
      NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: .didEventPOIRegion, object: nil)
    }
    
  }

    

2. Integrate AppDelegate.swift to receive SDK events

              @objc class AppDelegate: FlutterAppDelegate {
      let objreciver:GeofencingEventsReceiver = GeofencingEventsReceiver()
    override func application(
      _ application: UIApplication,
      didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
    ) -> Bool {
      GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: self)
      ...
      ...
    }
  }

    

Receiving Woosmap Geofencing Region events using Android Broadcasts

Geofencing SDK triggers an action com.woosmap.action.GEOFENCE_TRIGGERED and broadcasts regionLog in the intent extra.

Follow the steps below in order to listen to the broadcasts sent by the Woosmap Geofencing Plugin.

1. Add the following dependencies in the build.gradle file of your main project.

                repositories {
            ...
            ....
            maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
        }

    

2. Add the following dependencies in the app/build.gradle file of your main project.

            dependencies {
    ...
    ...
    implementation "androidx.room:room-runtime:2.+"
    implementation "com.batch.android:batch-sdk:2.+"
    implementation "woosmap:geofencing-core-android-sdk:core_geofence_2.+"
    implementation "com.webgeoservices.woosmapgeofencing:woosmap-mobile-sdk:4.+"
}
```

    

3. Add a new class GeofencingEventsReceiver.java/kt, and include the following code in it.

            
  import android.content.BroadcastReceiver
  import android.content.Context
  import android.content.Intent
  import android.util.Log
  import com.batch.android.Batch
  import com.batch.android.BatchEventAttributes
  import com.webgeoservices.woosmapgeofencingcore.database.WoosmapDb
  import org.json.JSONObject
  import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService
  import java.util.concurrent.Executors

  class GeofencingBroadcastReceiver: BroadcastReceiver() {
      val TAG: String = "GeofencingReceiver"
      private val executorService: ExecutorService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor()

      override fun onReceive(context: Context?, intent: Intent?) {
          Log.d(TAG, "Received broadcast")
          executorService.execute {
              try {
                  // Get region data from the intent
                  val regionData = intent?.getStringExtra("regionLog")?.let { JSONObject(it) }
                  // Fetch the POI from the db based on the identifier
                  val poi = WoosmapDb.getInstance(context).poIsDAO.getPOIbyStoreId(regionData!!.getString("identifier"))

                  if (poi != null) { //poi could be null if the entered/exited region is a custom region.

                      // Event with custom attributes
                      val attributes = BatchEventAttributes()
                          .put("identifier", poi.idStore)
                          .put("name", poi.name)
                      Batch.Profile.trackEvent(
                          regionData.getString("eventname"),
                          attributes
                      )
                  }
              } catch (ex: Exception) {
                  Log.e(TAG, ex.toString())
              }
          }
      }
  }

    

             

  import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
  import android.content.Context;
  import android.content.Intent;
  import android.util.Log;

  import com.batch.android.Batch;
  import com.batch.android.BatchEventAttributes;
  import com.webgeoservices.woosmapgeofencingcore.database.POI;
  import com.webgeoservices.woosmapgeofencingcore.database.WoosmapDb;

  import org.json.JSONObject;

  import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
  import java.util.concurrent.Executors;

  public class GeofencingEventsReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
      private static final String TAG = "GeofencingReceiver";
      private final ExecutorService executorService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
      @Override
      public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
          Log.d(TAG, "Received broadcast");
          executorService.execute(() -> {
              try{
                  // Get region data from the intent
                  JSONObject regionData = new JSONObject(intent.getStringExtra("regionLog"));
                  // Fetch the POI from the db based on the identifier
                  POI poi;
                  poi = WoosmapDb.getInstance(context).getPOIsDAO().getPOIbyStoreId(regionData.getString("identifier"));
                  if (poi != null){ //poi could be null if the entered/exited region is a custom region.

                      // Event with custom attributes
                      BatchEventAttributes attributes = new BatchEventAttributes()
                              .put("identifier", poi.idStore)
                              .put("name", poi.name);
                      Batch.Profile.trackEvent(regionData.getString("eventname"), attributes);
                  }
              }
              catch (Exception ex){
                  Log.e(TAG, ex.toString());
              }
          });
      }
  }


    

4. If you already have a custom android.app.Application subclass registered, you can skip this step.

Open your project’s Android folder in Android Studio. Create a new class that subclasses android.app.Application. It can be named however you want, but we will call it MainApplication for the sake of this example.Place it in your root package.

Then, add an onCreate() override. The class should look like this:

              import android.app.Application
  class MainApplication: Application() {
      override fun onCreate() {
          super.onCreate()
      }
  }

    

              import android.app.Application;
  public class MainApplication extends Application {
      @Override
      public void onCreate() {
          super.onCreate();
      }
  }

    

5. Register the newly created Broadcast Receiver in Application class.

                class MainApplication : Application() {
      lateinit var geofencingEventsReceiver: GeofencingEventsReceiver
      
      override fun onCreate() {
