3. Send in-game event data

To enable optimal ad display and model training, it is crucial to send sufficient in-game event and player attribute data to Airflux. This guide details the core principles and implementation steps for data collection using the Airflux SDK.

Understanding Data Collection

Airflux collects data through three primary methods to make the most optimal ad display decisions.

Each type of data is collected at a different time and for a different purpose, so you must provide all three to maximize the performance of the AI model.

In-game event data
Records user actions such as ORDER_COMPLETED and ACHIEVE_LEVEL.
Player Attribute Data
Records the player's current status, such as their level or currency balance.
Inference Parameters
Records contextual information at the time of an ad request, such as adType or adPlacementId.

1. Send in-game event data

Use the Airflux.TrackEvent() function to record key player actions within your game. The collected event data plays a crucial role in enabling the Airflux AI model to learn player behavior patterns and make optimal decisions.

Detailed Event Guide with Code Examples

The following events are essential for model training. Clearly understand the purpose and timing of collecting each event, and ensure proper implementation for data transmission.

Ad Impression

Track this event immediately after an in-app ad is shown to the user. Collect relevant data such as ad type, revenue, and placement details.

The in-app ad revenue data must be collected using the client-side SDK through mediation platform integrations and sent to Airflux.

Verification

Using the App Real-Time Log

Trigger events based on your test scenarios and check the corresponding logs in the [Raw Data] > [App Real-time Log] menu. The event data will be displayed in JSON format, allowing you to confirm that the data type and structure of each field match the predefined format.

eventData.goal.category

Verify that the event name exactly matches the string defined in the taxonomy.

semanticAttributes

• All keys must match those defined in the taxonomy. • Value types must match the defined types (string, number, boolean). • For revenue events (ad_impression, order_completed), values must be positive numbers.

originalCurrency

Must be a 3-letter uppercase code defined by ISO-4217 (e.g., USD, KRW)

2. Send player attribute data

Player attribute data provides a crucial snapshot of a player's status at a given time. This data is used to fine-tune player segmentation and personalize ad experiences. There are two primary functions for sending this data: Airflux.SetUser() and Airflux.SetContext().

Player attribute data is only transmitted to the server when an event is tracked or an inference API is called. Ensure this data is set before making any inference API requests.

Send User ID

Send the player's unique User ID when they sign up or sign in. This ensures all subsequent events and attributes are properly linked to that user. The User ID must be sent before the event data.

Send User ID

When to trigger

When a player signs up or signs in.

Name

Description

Example

ID

The player’s unique User ID

"your_internal_user_id"

If the User ID is not sent before the event data, the User ID cannot be linked to the event data.

Code Examples

Unity: C#

Airflux.SetUser(AirfluxUser.ID, "your_internal_user_id");

Send Contextual Data

Airflux.SetContext() is used to pass player attributes that are not tied to a specific event. This is crucial for providing the AI model with a complete snapshot of the player's status, such as their current level or currency balance at app launch.

Level Attributes

When to trigger

When the game app opens
When the player logs in

Name

Description

Example

Skip Case

Level

The player's or character's current level.

If the game has no levels

The player attribute data must be passed to the SDK before the inference API request.

Code Example

Unity: C#

Airflux.SetContext(AirfluxContext.LEVEL, 10);

Currency Attributes

When to trigger

When the game app opens.
When a player logs in.
When a player's currency balance changes.

Note

Input the in-game currency balance for Currency. If a player had 500 diamonds and purchased 700 more, Airflux.SetContext(AirfluxContext.HARD_CURRENCY, "diamond", 1200) should be triggered.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I use the category, semanticAttributes, and customAttributes parameters for event data collection?

Name

Type

Description

category

String

The event's unique name (e.g., AD_IMPRESSION). Only underscores are permitted as special characters; colons and other special characters are not allowed. If the collected data exceeds the maximum limit of 128 characters, only the initial 128 characters will be saved.

semanticAttributes

Dictionary<string, object>

Semantic attributes of the event Semantic attribute data collection is limited by type: up to 1024 characters for strings, and 64 bits for integers or floats.

customAttributes

Dictionary<string, object>

Custom attributes of the event Custom attribute data collection is limited to 2,048 characters; exceeding the limit results in ERROR_MAX_LENGTH_EXCEEDED.

When a player completes a stage and levels up at the same time, how should I track it?

Use the TrackEvent() function to track the player's action of completing a stage as the Achieve Level event, and use the SetLevel() function to track the player's updated level as the player attribute.

Can I use the Airflux SDK to collect and send game store payment data?

No. The game store payment data must be collected and sent using the client-side SDK.

After restarting the game, the Airflux SDK stops sending events. How can I fix this?

The Airflux SDK automatically tracks app lifecycle events, so you do not need to manually call StartTracking(). This issue typically occurs if the SDK is disabled, either by:

Setting SDK Enabled in the SDK initialization options.
Calling the Airflux.DisableSDK() function during runtime.

When the SDK is disabled, both event tracking and inference requests are halted. To resolve this, you must explicitly call Airflux.EnableSDK() to re-activate the SDK's features.
