Describe Conversation

Updates information about a Conversation object in Kustomer.

You can add custom attributes to a Conversation object in the chat SDK with the conversation id and the custom attribute key-value pair.

Kustomer.chatProvider.describeConversation(id:"ID", ["favoriteNumberNum":100]) { result in
  switch result {
    case .success:
      print("ok")
    case .failure(let error):
      print(error)
  }
}

Required attributes

NameTypeDescription
idStringThe unique ID for the conversation in Kustomer.
["customAttributeNameType": <custom attribute value>]Array of key-value pairsAn array containing the custom attributes of the conversation.

Example: ["favoriteNumberNum":100]

Use custom attributes

You can send the SDK custom attribute values for custom attributes enabled in Kustomer.

Always use the attribute name instead of the Display Name listed in the Klasses editor (Settings > Platform > Klasses) in Kustomer. The attribute name will always be formatted in camelCase or PascalCase without spaces and also describes the data type for the attribute.

For example, if a custom attribute has a Display Name of "Avg Sat Score" and has a number data type, then the name may appear as AvgSatScoreNum. You would use AvgSatScoreNum, the system name for the custom attribute, with the SDK.
