How can I install InsiderGeofence?
To install InsiderGeofence, add the following line to your podfile: pod ‘InsiderGeofence’
If you are a new partner, just do a regular pod install as follows: pod install
If you are already a partner who has been using InsiderMobile and would like to install the latest version of InsiderGeofence as well, we recommend running the following command instead: pod install --repo-update
Is it required to have the location permission from a user to send a Geofence Push?
Yes, the Geofence Pushes can be sent to users who have allowed the location information.
Can I detect or segment users who have allowed and disallowed the location services?
Yes, you can segment users based on their location permission. To do so, you can follow Device Attributes > Location Status.
How can I create a geofence location that I want to target to launch a campaign?
You can follow Components > Geofence Settings and create the geofence location.
What is the metric unit of Radius?
The metric of Radius is meter.
When do we gather the user's entry or exit information?
On iOS, there are two location permission types: While Using and Always. The user's location information will be fed only when the user actively uses the app on the While Using type. In the Always option, location information will be gathered always. On Android, the user's location information can be gathered all the time. The frequency of checking the location information should be decided during the integration phase.
Is it possible to import all geofence locations in one move to the InOne panel?
There is no such function in the InOne panel. However, if the app marketer creates a CSV file including the longitude, latitude, and geofence name, the Insider One team can import it to the panel.
Is it possible to choose more than one geofence in one campaign?
Yes. The targeted geofences can be selected with the OR function.
Can I send the same campaign to the users who entered or exited a location?
No. In one campaign, you can only choose one state of the user (enter or exit). To cover the two states, you should set up two separate campaigns.
Can I see how many users enter or exit a specific geofence location based on specific dates?
No, but you can see the number of users who enter or exit a specific location cumulatively and based on their lifetime.
Is there any limitation for Radius?
The limit is 2,000. However, Apple and Google recommend setting it between 100 and 500.
While testing the geofence on Advanced Integration, I didn't see my location in the panel. Why?
Geofence should be implemented in the SDK. For the integration details, you can refer to Android, iOS, React Native, Flutter, and Cordova.
Do geofence campaigns require any integration?
Yes. The app needs to ask for location information from the user and then pass this data to Insider SDK via the geofence method. Geofence tracking won’t work if the location service is not enabled.
Does a user receive the same geofence push each time they enter the geofence location?
Each user can receive pushes from the same geofence campaign once in 24 hours.
