API Reference

Hellotext provides a powerful REST API designed for developer happiness. We make constant efforts in keeping all resources and actions simple and consistent.

All responses are formatted and returned in JSON.

https://api.hellotext.com

Authentication

All requests to the API must to be authenticated. Authentication is performed by sending a token with each request to the API.

You can create and manage your authorization tokens from the business settings page. All authorizations tokens are specific to the business it was created from.

To authenticate make sure to include an authorization header with the format Authorization: Bearer {token}. Replace the token with the authorization token.

curl https://api.hellotext.com/v1/profiles \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ALK_eSMRuwJ2Al..."

Errors

Hellotext uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate status of a request. When a request is valid but does not complete as expected we return a 422 error and a errors JSON object is attached to the object including a collection of errors including type and description.

Name of the parameter associated to the error.
400 Bad Request
Often missing a required parameter.
401 Unauthorized
No valid API key.
404 Not Found
The requested item does not exist.
422 Request Failed
Parameters were valid but request failed.
500, 502, 503, 504 Server errors
Something went wrong.

    }
  ]
}

Pagination

All first-level collections of resources can be paginated. Collections are sorted by creation date, showing most recent objects first and limiting the results to 25 by default. To get adjust the number results you can use the limit parameter.

Given that it is assumed that new objects will be created, to keep pagination consistent you can obtain the next set of results from the last object id of the previous collection using the parameter starting_after. This includes the next set of results after (excluding) the passed id. This is also called vector pagination.

You can also achieve the opposite and retrieve all results up to the given id passing the ending_before.

Parameters
string
Display results listed after (older) than the given id.
string
Display results listed before (more recent) than the given id.
integer
Limit how many results to show. Default is 25. Maximum is 100.
curl -G https://api.hellotext.com/v1/profiles \
  -d starting_after="BvYeyVYz" \
  -d limit=10 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ALK_eSMRuwJ2Al..."

Tracking

Tracking customers interactions unlock new marketing possibilities and give businesses a complete view of the history of each customer.

By tracking customer actions it is possible to build segmented audiences based on what they do and like and use this for highly precision marketing. Businesses can trigger automations based on customer activity and give their team a head start finding opportunities to actively engage with them to sell more.

A minimal setup to track a customer event is to set the action parameter to any of the built-in actions or a custom-defined action (see Actions) and the parameter profile that represents the customer profile or the session if tracking events from campaigns or journeys short links (see Sessions).

When providing both session and profile parameters, ensure that the session is assigned to the profile. Sessions assigned to a profile cannot be used to track events for another profile. If the session is not assigned to any profile, it will be automatically assigned to the profile you pass when tracking an event.

When providing a currency. The amount must be specified. If none are provided, the values will be inherited from the trackable if the object has the attributes.

Track custom events

Hellotext provides a list of ready-to-use actions to track the most common customers interactions with your business such as purchases, visits to your site, products added to cart, form completions and more. However these are not always enough and sometimes you need a little more flexibility when needing to define specific actions for your business needs.

It is possible to specify any customized action name when tracking events as long as the action object has been previously created. Once the action is created you can simply use its name to track a new event.

Please keep in mind that monetary values passed to these event will be aggregated to the campaign reportings as sales.

Actions

Hellotext provides a basic set of actions, perfect for starting your next attribution campaign. But, when the need arises to track different actions not provided by Hellotext you can extend the set of available actions by creating your own custom actions.

You are free to name the actions any way you like. We recommend to take a dot approach when naming your actions, to have them scoped and states, for example custom actions can be like the following.

See Track custom events for more information.

The action object

Attributes
id
String
Unique identifier of the object.
Type
Type of object. This is always action.
Epoch
Date of creation of the object.
Boolean
Is this action used as a metric for KPIs?. Defaults to false. Setting it to true will allow events with this action to be used as a metric for KPIs displayed in the Campaigns and Journeys.
String
The name of the action. This is the name used in the action parameter when tracking an event. Duplicate names are not allowed.
Boolean
Is this action passive or not?. Defaults to true.

Passive events are events that don't affect the order of conversations in the inbox, when a passive event is recorded, the conversation's position is not changed. Passive events are not displayed on the Inbox, they are only displayed in the Activity Trail of a Profile.

Non-passive events are events that affect the order of conversations in the inbox, when an active event is recorded, the conversation's position is updated and is moved to the top so it can be handled. Non-passive events are recorded in the Inbox and the Activity Trail.

Generally, if the action is important(requires an action by your team) and you want to easily see it in the Inbox when it happens, set this attribute as false. However, if the action is not important, you can mark it as passive.
String

Sessions

Sessions are unique identifiers generated when visitors click on short links and attached to the destination URL as a GET parameter called hello_session. You can think of a session as sharing the same known meaning from web browsers: it represents an active visitor browser and is device specific.

Tracking events specifying the session identifier will also keep an automatic association to the customer profile who clicked on the short link, aggregating the events to his history of activities and to the reporting of the campaign or journey where the message with the short link was present.

When tracking client-side events with the Hellotext.js library, there is no need to explicitly specify the session identifier as the library will take care of it behind the scenes.

To improve security and privacy we discourage disclosing the identifier of the profile directly on the browser. Because of this, the client-side Hellotext.js library only accepts to track events specifying a session and not to a profile directly.

It is possible to track events for non-identified visitors too. The Hellotext.js library creates a new session identifier for every new visitor when it does not find it defined as a parameter. You can store this session identifier, and later attach the profile when it becomes known, for example when the visitor logins into the store, places an order, or subscribes entering his phone number.

  PATCH /v1/sessions/:id

Attach session

Once the profile is known, attach it to the session so all its events tracked become part of his history of activities.

If you also want to change the session to a different profile, set the new profile identifier in the profile parameter and the session will be assigned to the new profile.

All carts associated with a session will be assigned to the profile you attach the session to.

Parameters
string
Required
The profile to assign the session and its tracked events to.
