Data Sources - Tealium Collect

Data sources are key-value pairs that describe visitor context and behavior; whose values can trigger behaviors defined in AudienceStream through TealiumIQ.

Data sources generated by sendEventWithData

When calling the sendEventWithData: method:

Objective-C

- (void) sendCollectEvent {

    NSDictionary *data = @{ @"custom_key" : @"custom_value"};

    [TealiumCollect sendEventWithData:data];
}

Swift

func sendLifecycleEventWithName(name: String) {

    let data: [String: String] = ["event_name" : name]

    TealiumCollect.sendEventWithData(data)
}

A log is generated resembling:

2015-06-23 10:13:56.688 CollectAPISampler[43494:1431689] Successfully sent dispatch with payload {
    "app_name" = CollectAPISampler;
    callType = link;
    "custom_key" = "custom_value";
    "event_name" = "mobile_link";
    "library_version" = "collect-1.0";
    "os_version" = "8.3";
    platform = ios;
    timestamp = "2015-06-23T17%3A13%3A56Z";
}

Where:

app_name
call_type
event_name
library_version
os_version
platform
timestamp

Was generated by the Tealium Collect Library, and the entire dispatch is sent to the AudienceStream's servers and can be seen in a log resembling:

Data sources generated by sendViewWithData

When calling the sendViewWithData: method:

Objective-C

- (void) sendCollectView {

    NSDictionary *data = @{ @"custom_key" : @"custom_value"};

    [TealiumCollect sendViewWithData:data];
}

Swift

func sendCollectView() {

    let data: [String: String] = [ "custom_key" : "custom_value" ]

    TealiumCollect.sendViewWithData(data)
}
