Streaming Events From Firebase

Tracking the customers’ activity in your mobile application gives you insights into their journey and experience, thus helping you understand their behavior and see their preferences and expectations.

Using the mobile tracking feature, you can collect this data and use it for segmentation, targeting, and personal recommendations (similar to web tracking for a site).

Important!

To activate the mobile app tracking, subscribe to the activate the PROFESSIONAL plan.

The following diagram shows the overall flow of the data transfer from your mobile application to Yespo’s CDP.

How to Set Up Tracking

To track users' activity in your mobile app, set up the streaming of relevant data to a BigQuery table, from where it will be automatically sent to our CDP.

Data transfer scheme

The data about the customer events come to Firebase. Then they are passed to a BigQuery table and exported to Yespo CDP.

To set up the mobile tracking: 

  1. Configure the customer data transfer from a mobile app.

  2. Connect Google BigQuery with your Yespo account.

Configuring data transfer from a mobile app 

To configure the customer data transfer from a mobile app to a BigQuery table, use the following instructions:

The method of event storing depends on the operating system and programming language used. See Firebase API Reference for instructions.

Contacts Matching

When a user is not authorized in your app, but has a mobile token, getting a contactId from the account will help you. You can do this using the public API method. Pass the resulting contactId to the user.properties.

The contact ID is its unique identifier, with the help of which the system identifies a person when they enter the application from different channels, browsers, and devices.

This way, you can collect all the data about the interaction of users with your application and send them omnichannel campaigns.

The system will add all available contact identifiers to the unique contact ID, such as mobile and web tokens, phone number, and email address.
