Access the Session URL

Session URL

Integration with third party services can be accomplished by retrieving the Session URL and adding it as context to the third party library. In the iOS SDK, the session URL can be accessed with the SDK.getSessionURL method. Session URLs are only made available when our backend has accepted the session, which can take 1-5 seconds from when the SDK is initialized.

As of SDK version 1.32.0, once a getSessionURL handler is registered, it will be called each time a new session is started. A hardShutdown clears all registered handlers.

SDK.getSessionURL { sessionURL in
  // Use the accepted Session URL
}

void (^completion)(NSString*) = ^(NSString* sessionURL) {
  // Use the accepted Session URL
}

Main UI Thread Considerations

The session URL handler may be run on a background thread. To prevent errors, avoid modifying UI elements within getSessionURL , or wrap any UI modifications with if Thread.isMainThread.

Session URL Status

If you would like more updates on a particular session URL, such as when the session is rejected, you can make use of getSessionURLStatus. Like getSessionURL, this function takes a handler function, however this handler runs once immediately, whenever a new session URL is available, and whenever a session is rejected.

Each time the handler is called, it will be provided a String containing one of the following:

• A session URL
• Information on why the session URL is not yet available
• Information on why the session was rejected. There are a number of reasons that a session may be rejected, such as when session quota has been reached, or when a particular user has been blocked for GDPR/CCPA purposes.

SDK.getSessionURLStatus { sessionUrlOrStatus in
  // Use the accepted Session URL or status update
}

void (^completion)(NSString*) = ^(NSString* sessionUrlOrStatus) {
  // Use the accepted Session URL or status update
}
