Integrate Node SDK

Understanding Objects in Suprsend

Objects in SuprSend represent non-user entities such as organizations, teams, roles, and projects.
Understand more about objects from our objects documentation

Upsert (create/update) an object

Create or update an object 

const {Suprsend} = require("@suprsend/node-sdk");

// Initialize SDK
const supr_client = new Suprsend("__workspace_uid__", "__worksapce_secret__")

res = supr_client.objects.upsert("department", "dep-node-js");
res.then((res) => console.log(res)).catch((err) => console.log(err));

Edit

Edit an object, this is different from upsert since here, it is allowed to pass operationskey which allows to define order of edit operations on the object instance

const {Suprsend} = require("@suprsend/node-sdk");

// Initialize SDK
const supr_client = new Suprsend("__workspace_uid__", "__worksapce_secret__")

res = supr_client.objects.edit("department", "dep-node-js", {
    operations: [{$set: {name: "NodeJS"}}]
});
res.then((res) => console.log(res)).catch((err) => console.log(err));

List Objects

List objects for an object_type. You can also pass listing options in the payload which includes limit,before,after

res = supr_client.objects.list("department");
res.then((res) => console.log(res)).catch((err) => console.log(err));

Get Object

res = supr_client.objects.get("object_type", "object_id");
res.then((res) => console.log(res)).catch((err) => console.log(err));

Delete Object

res = supr_client.objects.delete("object_type", "object_id");
res.then((res) => console.log(res)).catch((err) => console.log(err));

Create Subscriptions

payload = {"recipients": ["recipient1", "recipient2"]}
res = supr_client.objects.create_subscriptions("object_type", "object_id", payload)
res.then((res) => console.log(res)).catch((err) => console.log(err));

List Subscriptions

res = supr_client.objects.get_subscriptions("object_type", "object_id")
res.then((res) => console.log(res)).catch((err) => console.log(err));

Delete Subscriptions

res = supr_client.objects.delete_subscriptions("object_type", "object_id")
res.then((res) => console.log(res)).catch((err) => console.log(err));

Edit Operations via Helper Methods

It is possible to use suprsend helper methods to perform edit operations on an object. For this first instantiate suprsend object:

object_ins = supr_client.objects.get_instance("object_type", "object_id");

1. Add Channels

Use object_ins.add_* method(s) to add user channels in a profile

# Add channel details to object_ins-instance. Call relevant add_* methods

object_ins.add_email("[email protected]"); # - To add Email

object_ins.add_sms("+15555555555"); # - To add SMS

object_ins.add_whatsapp("+15555555555"); # - To add Whatsapp

object_ins.add_androidpush("__android_push_fcm_token__"); # - by default, token is assumed to be fcm-token

# You can set the optional provider value [fcm/xiaomi/oppo] if its not a fcm-token
object_ins.add_androidpush("__android_push_xiaomi_token__", provider="xiaomi");

object_ins.add_iospush("__iospush_token__");

# - To add Slack using email
object_ins.add_slack(
  {
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "access_token": "xoxb-XXXXXXXX"
  });

# - To add Slack if slack member_id is known
object_ins.add_slack(
  {
    "user_id": "U03XXXXXXXX",
    "access_token": "xoxb-XXXXXXXX"
  });

# - To add Slack channel
object_ins.add_slack(
  {
    "channel_id": "CXXXXXXXX",
    "access_token": "xoxb-XXXXXXXX"
  });

# - To add Slack incoming webhook
object_ins.add_slack(
  {
    "incoming_webhook": {
      "url": "https://hooks.slack.com/services/TXXXXXXXXX/BXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
    }
  });

# - To add MS teams object_ins or channel using conversation_id
object_ins.add_ms_teams(
  {
		"tenant_id": "c1981ab2-9aaf-xxxx-xxxx",
		"service_url": "https://smba.trafficmanager.net/amer",
		"conversation_id": "19:c1524d7c-a06f-456f-8abe-xxxx"
  });

# - To add MS teams object_ins using object_ins_id
object_ins.add_ms_teams(
  {
		"tenant_id": "c1981ab2-9aaf-xxxx-xxxx",
		"service_url": "https://smba.trafficmanager.net/amer",
		"object_ins_id": "29:1nsLcmJ2RKtYH6Cxxxx-xxxx"
  });

# - To add MS teams using incoming webhook
object_ins.add_ms_teams(
  {
    "incoming_webhook": {
      "url": "https://wnk1z.webhook.office.com/webhookb2/XXXXXXXXX"
    }
  });

# After setting the channel details on object_ins-instance, call save()
res = object_ins.save()
res.then((res) => console.log(res)).catch((err) => console.log(err));

2. Remove Channels

Use object_ins.remove_* method(s) to remove channels from an object profile

# Remove channel details from object_ins-instance. Call relevant remove_* methods

object_ins.remove_email("[email protected]"); # - To remove Email

object_ins.remove_sms("+15555555555"); # - To remove SMS

object_ins.remove_whatsapp("+15555555555"); # - To remove Whatsapp

object_ins.remove_androidpush("__android_push_fcm_token__"); # - by default, token is assumed to be fcm-token

# You can set the optional provider value [fcm/xiaomi/oppo] if its not a fcm-token
object_ins.remove_androidpush("__android_push_xiaomi_token__", provider="xiaomi");

object_ins.remove_iospush("__iospush_token__");

# - To remove Slack email
object_ins.remove_slack(
  {
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "access_token": "xoxb-XXXXXXXX"
  });  

# - To remove Slack if slack member_id is known
object_ins.remove_slack(
  {
    "object_ins_id": "U03XXXXXXXX",
    "access_token": "xoxb-XXXXXXXX"
  });

# - To remove Slack channel
object_ins.remove_slack(
  {
    "channel_id": "CXXXXXXXX",
    "access_token": "xoxb-XXXXXXXX"
  });

# - To remove Slack incoming webhook
object_ins.remove_slack(
  {
    "incoming_webhook": {
      "url": "https://hooks.slack.com/services/TXXXXXXXXX/BXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
    }
  });

# - To add MS teams object_ins or channel using conversation_id
object_ins.remove_ms_teams(
  {
		"tenant_id": "c1981ab2-9aaf-xxxx-xxxx",
		"service_url": "https://smba.trafficmanager.net/amer",
		"conversation_id": "19:c1524d7c-a06f-456f-8abe-xxxx"
  });

# - To add MS teams object_ins using object_ins_id
object_ins.remove_ms_teams(
  {
		"tenant_id": "c1981ab2-9aaf-xxxx-xxxx",
		"service_url": "https://smba.trafficmanager.net/amer",
		"object_ins_id": "29:1nsLcmJ2RKtYH6Cxxxx-xxxx"
  });

# - To add MS teams using incoming webhook
object_ins.remove_ms_teams(
  {
    "incoming_webhook": {
      "url": "https://wnk1z.webhook.office.com/webhookb2/XXXXXXXXX"
    }
  });

# After setting the channel details on object_ins-instance, call save()
res = object_ins.save();
res.then((res) => console.log(res)).catch((err) => console.log(err));

3. Remove Channels in bulk

If you need to delete/unset all emails (or any other channel) of an object, you can call object_ins.unset() method on the object instance. The method accepts the channel key/s (a single key or list of keys)

# --- To delete all emails associated with object_ins
object_ins.unset("$email");
res = object_ins.save();
res.then((res) => console.log(res)).catch((err) => console.log(err));

# what value to pass to unset channels
# for email:                $email
# for whatsapp:             $whatsapp
# for SMS:                  $sms
# for androidpush tokens:   $androidpush
# for iospush tokens:       $iospush
# for webpush tokens:       $webpush
# for slack:                $slack
# for ms_teams:             $ms_teams

# --- multiple channels can also be deleted in one call by passing argument as a list
object_ins.unset(["$email", "$sms", "$whatsapp"]);
res = object_ins.save();
res.then((res) => console.log(res)).catch((err) => console.log(err));

🚧

Note

After calling add_*/remove_*/unset methods, don't forget to call object_ins.save(). On call of save(), SDK sends the request to SuprSend platform to update the Object Profile.


Add Preferences in Object Profile

You can also set custom properties in object profile that is used to set object preferences

Set Preferred language

# Add language preference to object-instance.

object_ins.set_preferred_language("en");

# After setting the language on user-instance, call save()
res = object_ins.save();
res.then((res) => console.log(res)).catch((err) => console.log(err));

Set Timezone

# Add timezone to object-instance.

object_ins.set_timezone("America/Belize");

# After setting the language on object-instance, call save()
res = object_ins.save()
res.then((res) => console.log(res)).catch((err) => console.log(err));

Advanced Configuration - Set Object Properties

You can use SuprSend Python SDK to set advanced object properties, which will help in creating a object profile.

1. Set

Set is used to set the custom property or properties. The given name and value will be assigned to the object, overwriting an existing property with the same name if present. It can take key as first param, value as second param for setting single object property or object for setting multiple object properties.

o1.set("key", "value");  # for single property
o1.set(properties);      # for multiple properties where properties is a dict()

# set single property using key and value
o1.set("name", "user");
# set multiple/nested properties using dictionary
o1.set({
  "prop1": "val1", 
  "prop2": ["one", "two", "three"], 
  "number": 20
});

ParametersTypeDescription
arg1string/dictionaryMandatory
This param will be string in case where only single property needs to be created/updated. It will be a dictionary in cases where complex objects need to be set in object properties, like multiple properties, arrays, nested properties etc.
Should not start with $ or ss_
arg2anyOptional
This will be value that will be attached to key property. Not required in cases where first param is a dictionary.

❗️

Naming Guidelines

When you create a key, please ensure that the Key Name does not start with $ or ss_, as we have reserved these symbols for our internal events and property names.


2. Set Once

Works just like object_ins.set, except it will not overwrite existing property values. This is useful for properties like First login date

o1.set_once(key, value)  # for single property
o1.set_once(properties)  # for multiple properties

# For setting once a single property:
o1.set_once("first_login", "2021-11-02");

# For setting once multiple properties
o1.set_once({"first_login" : "2021-11-02", "DOB" : "1991-10-02"});

3. Increment

Add the given amount to an existing property on the object. If the object does not already have the associated property, the amount will be added to zero. To reduce a property, provide a negative number for the value.

o1 = supr_client.objects.get_instance("object_type", "object_id")
o1.increment(key, value)  # for single property
o1.increment(property_obj)  # for multiple properties

# For incrementing a single property:
o1.increment("login_count", 1);

# For incrementing multiple properties:
o1.increment({"login_count" : 1, "order_count" : 1});

4. Append

This method will append a value to the list for a given property.

o1 = supr_client.objects.get_instance("object_type", "object_id");
o1.append(key, value)  # for single property
o1.append(properties)  # for multiple properties

# For appending a single property:
o1.append("wishlist", "iphone12");

# For appending multiple properties:
o1.append({"wishlist" : "iphone12", "wishlist" : "Apple airpods"});

5. Remove

This method will remove a value from the list for a given property.

o1 = supr_client.objects.get_instance("object_type", "object_id");
o1.remove(key, value)  # for single property
o1.remove(properties)  # for multiple properties

# For removing a single property:
o1.remove("wishlist", "iphone12");

# For removing multiple properties:
o1.remove({"wishlist" : "iphone12", "wishlist": "Apple airpods"});

6. Unset

This will remove a property permanently from properties.


o1 = supr_client.objects.get_instance("object_type", "object_id");
o1.unset(key)  # for single property
o1.unset(property_list);  # for multiple properties

# For unsetting a single property:
o1.unset("wishlist");

# For unsetting multiple properties:
o1.unset(["wishlist", "cart"]);

ParametersTypeDescription
keystringThis property provided will be deleted from object properties
property_listarray[string]If list is given all properties included in list will be removed.
