# SDK Methods

## Manually Triggering the Permission Dialog

You may choose to disable automatic triggering of the permission dialog via the platform. In this scenario you would choose to trigger the dialog based on your own criteria (eg: after a visitor interacts with a modal / soft prompt, visits a specific screen/page, etc).

The following code will manually trigger the dialog:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="React" %}

```tsx
const { granted } = await PushSDK.showNativeNotificationPermissionPrompt();
console.log(`User accepted permissions: ${granted}`);
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Adding Attributes to a Subscriber's Profile

You can add attributes to a subscriber's profile and later perform segmentation based on those attributes. For example, you may want to tag visitors who are interested in a specific type of news (eg: politics, sports) so that you can target them with specific notifications.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="React" %}

```tsx
PushSDK.UserProfile.set("interests", ["politics", "news"]);
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

If you want to set more than one attribute at a time you can also send a map of values. The following example sets both a `is_paying_subscriber` and `interests` attribute on the subscriber.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="React" %}

```tsx
PushSDK.UserProfile.set({
  is_paying_subscriber: true,
  interests: ["politics", "news"]
});
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Properties set via `PushSDK.UserProfile.append()` will only store the most recent 20 values provided.
{% endhint %}

## Activity Tracking (URL / Screen Visits)

To track the subscriber flow through your application you can use activity tracking. You can track via screen or URL and pass associated metadata/tags if desired.

This information can then be used in segmentation to create cohorts of subscribers that have visited specific URLs  or screens with tags based on number of visits and recency. For example: "Subscribers who have visited a page/screen tagged with "Astrology" at least 4 times in the last 30 days".

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="React" %}
To track a URL or screen visited along with the keyword/tag metadata:

```tsx
PushSDK.UserProfile.trackActivity("myapp://dashboard", ["my-tag"]);
```

Or if there are no tags to be provided omit the `tags` parameter:

```tsx
PushSDK.UserProfile.trackActivity("https://www.pushly.com/article-1");
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Retrieving Your Anonymous Push ID

The PushSDK automatically assigns an anonymous Push ID for event tracking and debugging purposes.

Run the following code to return the Push ID:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="React" %}

```tsx
const pushId = await PushSDK.UserProfile.getAnonymousId();
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Setting the Subscriber's External ID

Providing a unique User ID for your subscriber allows you to later interact with that subscriber via the API.

Once a subscriber's external ID has been set you may work with our team to set up bi-directional automated data syncs. The following use cases are common ways that publishers use the external ID via server-to-server requests:

* Sending notifications to individual subscribers programmatically
* Processing unsubscribe requests
* Adding and removing profile attributes and events to subscribers

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="React" %}

```tsx
PushSDK.UserProfile.setExternalId("external-id");
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

You can also check to see if the subscriber is already tagged with an External ID:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="React" %}

```tsx
const currentExternalId = await PushSDK.UserProfile.getExternalId();
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Determining if a Visitor is Already Subscribed

If you need to know if a user is already subscribed to notifications the following snippet can be used:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="React" %}

```tsx
const subscribed = await PushSDK.UserProfile.getIsSubscribed();
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Determining if a Visitor is Eligible to Prompt

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="React" %}

```tsx
const isEligible = await PushSDK.UserProfile.getIsEligibleToPrompt();
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Permanently Delete a User

If the user should be excluded from all notifications and tracking run the following method:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="React" %}

```tsx
PushSDK.UserProfile.requestUserDeletion();
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Setting the SDK Log Level

The PushSDK log level is set to `NONE` by default. Supported log levels are: `VERBOSE`, `DEBUG`, `INFO`, `WARN`, `ERROR`, `CRITICAL`, and `NONE`.

To enable more detailed logging add the following code in your application's `index.tsx` or `app.tsx` file:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="React" %}

```tsx
PushSDK.setLogLevel(LogLevel.INFO);
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
