Use Case: Live Order Status

Prev Next

You can keep the customer updated on their order (placed, being prepared, ready) on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, without them re-opening the app. For example, you can trigger a live order-status update while the meal is prepared.

Insider offers an API-based Live Activities capability that lets the customer’s backend start, update, and end an iOS Live Activity so order progress updates in near real time.

Two integration flows are available:

  • Push-to-Start (iOS 17.2+)

  • SDK-First (iOS 16.1+, where the app starts the activity and Insider One’s Mobile SDK forwards the token).

The customer controls the lifecycle from its own backend; the content schema and on-device rendering belong to the customer app.

Requirements

  • Insider One’s iOS SDK

  • A supported iOS version per flow

  • Backend calls to the Live Activity API (/register, /start, /update, /end)

  • The product must be enabled on the account, or the API returns 403 LIVE_ACTIVITY_DISABLED.
