• Developer Guide

The Braze Roku SDK will provide you with an API to report information to be used in analytics, segmentation, and engagement,

1. Add BrazeSDK.brs to your app in the source directory.
2. Add BrazeTask.brs and BrazeTask.xml to your app in the components directory.

Add a reference to BrazeSDK.brs in your main scene using the following script element:

<script type="text/brightscript" uri="pkg:/source/BrazeSDK.brs"/>

Within main.brs, set the Braze configuration on the global node:

globalNode = screen.getGlobalNode()
config = {}
config_fields = BrazeConstants().BRAZE_CONFIG_FIELDS
config[config_fields.API_KEY] = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
config[config_fields.ENDPOINT] = "YOUR_ENDPOINT_HERE (e.g. https://sdk.iad-01.braze.com/)"
config[config_fields.HEARTBEAT_FREQ_IN_SECONDS] = 5
globalNode.addFields({brazeConfig: config})

Initialize the Braze instance:

m.BrazeTask = createObject("roSGNode", "BrazeTask")
m.Braze = getBrazeInstance(m.BrazeTask)

To process in-app messages, you can add an observer on BrazeTask.BrazeInAppMessage:

m.BrazeTask.observeField("BrazeInAppMessage", "onInAppMessageReceived")

Then within your handler, you have access to the highest in-app message that has been triggered by your campaigns:

in_app_message = m.BrazeTask.BrazeInAppMessage

You can then decide what to do with the in-app message. Some of the fields available:

• in_app_message.message - The body text of the in-app message
• in_app_message.buttons - List of buttons (could be an empty list).
• in_app_message.id - ID to use when logging impressions or clicks
• in_app_message.extras - Key/value pairs
• in_app_message.image_url - Image URL
• in_app_message.click_action - When there are no buttons, this is what should happen when the user clicks "OK" when the IAM is displayed. Can be "URI" or "NONE".
• in_app_message.dismiss_type - Can be "AUTO_DISMISS" or "SWIPE"
• in_app_message.display_delay - How long (in seconds) to wait until displaying the in-app message
• in_app_message.duration - How long (in milliseconds), the message should be displayed when dismiss_type is "AUTO_DISMISS"
• in_app_message.header - The header text of the in-app message
• in_app_message.uri - When click_action is "URI", this should be displayed

There are also various styling fields that you could choose to use from the dashboard. Alternatively, you could implement the In-App Message and style it within your Roku application using a standard palette.

• in_app_message.bg_color - Background color
• in_app_message.close_button_color - Close button color
• in_app_message.frame_color - The color of the background screen overlay
• in_app_message.header_text_color - Header text color
• in_app_message.message_text_color - Message text color
• in_app_message.text_align - Can be "START", "CENTER", or "END"

Button fields include:

• buttons[0].click_action - Can be "URI" to indicate to open the uri field. Can be "NONE" to indicate this button should close the in-app message.
• buttons[0].id - The ID value of the button itself
• buttons[0].text - The text to display on the button
• buttons[0].uri - When click_action is "URI", this should be displayed
• buttons[0].bg_color - Button background color
• buttons[0].border_color - Button border color
• buttons[0].text_color - Button text color

When a message is displayed or seen, log an impression:

LogInAppMessageImpression(in_app_message.id, brazetask)

Once a user clicks on the message, log a click:

LogInAppMessageClick(in_app_message.id, brazetask)

and then process in_app_message.click_action

If the user clicks on a button, log the button click:

LogInAppMessageButtonClick(inappmessage.id, inappmessage.buttons[selected].id, brazetask)

and then process inappmessage.buttons[selected].click_action

After processing in-app message, you should clear the field:

m.BrazeTask.BrazeInAppMessage = invalid

Braze should now be collecting data from your application. Please see our public documentation on how to log attributes, events, and purchases to our SDK. Our sample app's scene MainScene.brs also contains examples of using the API.

BrazeInAppMessage.brs and CustomSideBySideInAppMessage.brs show examples of handling In-App Messages. onInAppMessageTriggered() in MainScene.brs shows how to support multiple layouts.

The directory torchietv contains a sample app with the Braze SDK integrated.
