Understand Asset Responses

For mobile Touchpoints, you configure customer responses on a per Asset basis. You can manage how and where you redirect customers and what you present to those customers to continue the conversation based on their previous responses. For example, if a customer responds positively to an Optimization in a mobile app, you can configure MXO to redirect them to a website for more information or open the dialer to put them in contact with a call center agent.

Available Responses

By default, a positive response is returned for each Asset included in an Action.

You can also configure each Asset to return a neutral and/or a negative response.

Example

Below is an example MXO response, containing information about multiple customer responses.

Each asset returns responses as part of the responses array based on this configuration.

You can identify each response by the sentiment.

As the user interacts with the action/asset displayed you should send back the response code programmatically for each type of response you want to record.

Use the sendResponseCode public method, available in the Mobile SDK for Android, to achieve this.

When a response code is sent, you essentially inform MXO if the user is interested (positive response) or not interested (negative response). Based on this, MXO can decide which Action to show to a customer based on any eligibility rules you have set up.

In the example app, used for this exercise, the response is recorded when the Recycler View Cell is tapped. This is achieved by filtering the response based on a positive sentiment string being found in the responses array.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I register a custom interaction path to trigger an action?

Yes, you can programmatically trigger an interaction, such as /promotions using the SDKs programmatic interface. For more details, see Send an Interaction request and retrieve the response.

Do I have to specify an interaction path when sending a response code?

Yes, you do. The Mobile SDK for Android requires an interaction path to be sent together with the response code.

When triggered programmatically, do I need to unregister the callback?

When interactions are triggered programmatically, there is no requirement to unregister the callback If, however, you have registered to receive responses for an automatically triggered interaction you will need to do so. For more details, see Retrieve a response for an automatically triggered Interaction request.
