Helpshift Delegates

The Helpshift SDK provides delegate callbacks to help app developers track a user's activities within the help section.

Helpshift Delegate implementation

Bind the event delegate by using BindEventDelegate()

You can listen to the events fired by Helpshift. All the events are defined in HelpshiftConstants.h

Note

Events invoked before binding BindEventDelegate cannot be received again.

The authentication failure reason is wrapped in an enum EHelpshiftAuthenticationFailureReason Example:

Reason type :

  • EHelpshiftAuthenticationFailureReason.REASON_INVALID_AUTH_TOKEN
  • EHelpshiftAuthenticationFailureReason.REASON_AUTH_TOKEN_NOT_PROVIDED
  • EHelpshiftAuthenticationFailureReason.UNKNOWN
