and Javascript module bundlers such as webpack will remove any unused code. If you prefer to continue using a compiled version of the SDK, it can be found through our CDN. - The prefix for SDK logs has changed from
Appboy
toBraze
. If you use theAppboy
prefix as a filter in your logging tools, you should update it to includeBraze
. - As a result of the above changes, many of our method signatures have changed. See our upgrade guide for more information on how to migrate.

initialization option. This new initialization option has the same functionality asdevicePropertyWhitelist
, which is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
Changed
- Relaxed the email address validation used by the SDK in favor of the more accurate Braze backend validation. Valid addresses with unusual structures or international characters which were previously rejected will now be accepted.
Fixed
- Fixed an issue where the SDK was improperly handling session starts when switching between subdomains, causing a short delay in triggering in-app messages.

3.0.0
⚠️ Breaking
- The Braze Web SDK now comes bundled with TypeScript definitions in the
@braze
NPM packages. The TypeScript defintions include documentation and autocomplete in IDEs that support it, even if your project does not use TypeScript. - The following breaking changes have been made to allow for a better TypeScript experience:
- The
ab
namespace has been removed. To migrate from previous integrations, you can simply find and replace all references toappboy.ab
withappboy
. InAppMessage.Button
has been renamed toInAppMessageButton
. To migrate from previous integrations, you can simply find and replace all references toInAppMessage.Button
withInAppMessageButton
.
- The
- Due to the above changes, the SDK loading snippet has been updated. If you integrate the Braze Web SDK using the CDN, you must update the loading snippet when upgrading to 3.0.
- The
baseUrl
option toappboy.initialize
is now required to initialize the SDK. If your integration did not already provide thebaseUrl
option, it should now be set to the previous default value ofsdk.iad-01.braze.com
(e.g,appboy.initialize('YOUR-API-KEY', { baseUrl: 'sdk.iad-01.braze.com' });
). - Removed the
messagingReadyCallback
fromopenSession
andchangeUser
. Since 2.3.1, the SDK handles events that occur during the asynchronous portion of these calls gracefully, and ensures internally that only the latest messaging will be triggered. Any code previously being invoked inside this callback may be safely placed directly after the openSession or changeUser call.
Changed
- The Braze Web SDK has brand new docs, which can be found here. Any URLs from the previous docs will redirect to the appropriate location.
Fixed
- Fixed an issue where browser version was incorrectly reported in Android Webview.

2.7.0
Added
- Added
appboyBridge.getUser().addAlias(alias, label)
to HTML In-App Messages.
Changed
- The Braze Web SDK now uses User-Agent Client Hints for device detection when available. When using User-Agent Client Hints, browser version detection is limited to the significant version (e.g., 85 instead of 85.0.123.0). Note that this upgrade will be necessary to ensure accurate operating system detection in upcoming versions of Chromium-based browsers.
- Cards received from the Content Cards test send feature of the Braze dashboard are no longer removed when the SDK receives an update to the user’s Content Cards.
Fixed
- Removed code that could result in javascript errors in certain webpack configurations where the
global
object is not accessible by the SDK. - Fixed an issue where the
ab.Card
methodsremoveAllSubscriptions
,removeSubscription
,subscribeToClickedEvent
, andsubscribeToDismissedEvent
were minified, resulting inundefined
when called.
2.6.0
Added
- Introduced new NPM packages under the
@braze
scope. The core and full versions of the SDK as well as the service worker are now published in their own packages, resulting in a drastically reduced install size compared to theappboy-web-sdk
package. This is not a breaking change for existing NPM integrations and we will continue to publish theappboy-web-sdk
package to maintain backwards compatibility. See the README for integration details. - Added
appboyBridge.getUser().setLanguage(language)
to HTML In-App Messages.
Changed
- The new HTML In-App Message type now allows multiple clicks to be logged for a given message.
Fixed
- Made push-related methods more defensive against edge-cases where
Notification
is not defined. - Fixed an issue where unexpected backend responses could result in a javascript error.
- Fixed an issue in recent versions of Safari where calling

Fixed
- Fixed an issue that could cause some prerender user agents to fail to be appropriately recognized as a web crawler.
Changed
- Data will now be flushed to the Braze backend every 3 seconds on Safari (down from 10 seconds) due to new privacy features that clear localStorage after 7 days of inactivity.

getUnviewedCardCount()
returnsundefined
. This issue was introduced in 2.5.0.
2.5.0
Added
- Introduced support for upcoming HTML In-App Message templates.
- Added
appboyBridge.logClick()
to HTML In-App Messages. - Expanded browser detection to include UC Browser and newer versions of Microsoft Edge that are based on Chromium.

<script>
tag. See the README for more information. - Added an optional callback to
appboy.requestImmediateDataFlush
that is invoked when the flush is complete. - Added Czech and Ukrainian language support for Braze UI elements.
Changed
- Decreased the size of the service worker by 20%.
Fixed
- Fixed an issue where refreshing Content Cards or News Feed while the feed is showing could cause multiple impressions to be logged for the same card.
- Fixed a bug where calling
setEmail
with an email address containing capital letters could sometimes be incorrectly rejected. - Fixed a bug where refreshing Content Cards would incorrectly set the
clicked
attribute of the cards tofalse
. - Fixed a bug where providing
serviceWorkerLocation
with an absolute URL containing a protocol and hostname would result in an error being logged when callingappboy.registerAppboyPushMessages
. - Fixed an issue where calling
appboy.registerAppboyPushMessages
in recent versions of Firefox would not show the notification prompt. - Fixed a timing issue where creating a reference to
window.appboy
and then using that reference asynchronously could sometimes cause javascript errors when using the default integration snippet.
2.4.3
Fixed
- Fixed a bug that would cause
appboy.registerAppboyPushMessages
to fail when called immediately on a user’s first session. - Fixed an issue where using both the
manageServiceWorkerExternally
andserviceWorkerLocation
initialization options would cause the SDK to not register for push if the provided service worker location was in a sub-directory. - Fixed an issue where
appboy.registerAppboyPushMessages
could throw an exception if an error occured while updating a previously registered service worker.
2.4.2
Fixed
- Fixed a bug introduced in 2.4.1 that would focus inline feeds, causing the page to scroll when content cards are shown out of view.
2.4.1
Breaking
- Accessibility updates in this release have changed headers to use
h1
tags and close buttons to usebutton
tags (instead ofdiv
andspan
respectively). As a result, any CSS customizations which rely upondiv
orspan
elements within.ab-feed
or.ab-in-app-message
should be updated to use classes instead.
Added
- Introduced a
dismissCard
method that can be used to dismiss a card programmatically. - Improved accessibility throughout the SDK:
- Used
h1
tags for headers andbutton
tags for close buttons - Added ARIA attributes
- Improved the experience when tabbing through elements
- We now restore the user’s previously focused element after closing In-App Messages

initialization option for sites that have users with Web Push permission granted, but do not wish to use Web Push with Braze. See theappboy.initialize
documentation for more info. - Introduced a
manageServiceWorkerExternally
initialization option for sites that have their own service worker already. See theappboy.initialize
documentation for more info. - Deprecated the
subscribeToNewInAppMessages
method in favor of the newsubscribeToInAppMessage
method, which has a simpler interface.
Fixed
- Improved support for In-App Messages on “notched” devices (for example, iPhone X, Pixel 3XL).
- The logic that prevents the page behind a modal or fullscreen In-App Message from scrolling now functions correctly on iOS.
- Fixed a caching bug that could cause In-App Messages, Content Cards, and News Feed Cards received by one instance of the Braze SDK to not be seen by another simultaneously running instance of the Braze SDK.
- Fixed a bug that would cause redundant network activity for new users on their first session ever.
- Fixed a bug that would cause push registration that occurs immediately on a user’s first session to fail.
- Introduced the
allowUserSuppliedJavascript
initialization option, which is an alias for the existingenableHtmlInAppMessages
option, and disabled the ability to usejavascript:
URIs in In-App Message and Content Card click actions unless one of these options is provided.
Changed
- Improved the look and feel of Content Card dismissals and Content Card and News Feed animations to match the latest In-App Message styles.
- The
baseUrl
configuration option forappboy.initialize
is now more flexible in the values that it can accept. - Cookies set by the Braze Web SDK now expire after 1 year.

2.3.1
Added
- Introduced new
closeMessage
method onab.InAppMessage
objects to enable integrations to programmatically close messages if desired. - The Braze Web SDK now automatically enqueues trigger events that occur while triggers are being synced with the Braze backend, and replays them when the sync is complete. This fixes a race condition that could cause users to inadvertantly miss messages when trigger events occur directly after calling
openSession
orchangeUser
. This change obsoletes usage of themessagingReadyCallback
, which is now deprecated (but will continue to function).
Fixed
- Fixed an issue which prevented tall
ab.HtmlMessage
objects from scrolling on iOS. - Fixed “Object doesn’t support this action” error in Internet Explorer 11 or older when showing
ab.HtmlMessage
objects.
2.3.0
Added
- Improved the look and feel of In-App Messages to adhere to the latest UX and UI best practices. Changes affect font sizes, padding, and responsiveness across all message types. Now supports button border styling.
Fixed
- This feature, which regressed in 2.1.0, has been restored: when you call
appboy.openSession
, if the user has previously granted the site permission to send push, Braze will now automatically send the user’s push token to Braze backend. This will allow users to continue to receive push messages if they manually remove push permission and then subsequently manually reenable it - and will also cause user push tokens to automatically migrate to Braze over time when moving to Braze from a previously-integrated third-party push provider.
2.2.7
Added
- HTML In-App Messages now emit an
ab.BridgeReady
event when theappboyBridge
variable is available for use inside your HTML, allowing you to useappboyBridge
immediately when an in-app message is shown. To utilize this event in your HTML In-App Messages, usewindow.addEventListener('ab.BridgeReady', function() {/*Use appboyBridge here*/}, false);
.
Changed
- Changed usages of
Date.now()
tonew Date().valueOf()
to allow the Braze SDK to sit side-by-side with legacy 3rd party libraries that monkey-patchedDate.now()
before ECMASCRIPT 5 defined it.
2.2.6
Added
- Added
clicked
property to Content Cards which returns true if this card has ever been clicked on this device.
Changed
- Improved in-app message triggering logic to fall back to lower priority messages when the Braze server aborts templating (e.g. from a Connected Content abort in the message body, or because the user is no longer in the correct Segment for the message)
- Improved in-app message triggering logic to retry user personalization when communication with the Braze server fails due to network connectivity issues.
- The Braze Web SDK now only stores cookies for the most recently-used API Key (app). This reduces cookie storage usage for domains that are configured against many Braze apps.
2.2.5
Added
- Added
devicePropertyWhitelist
property to the options forappboy.initialize()
, which can be used to filter what device properties get collected.
2.2.4
Added
- Added support for richer custom styling through CSS in in-app messages.
Changed
- Subtle visual polish to the News Feed and Content Cards
2.2.3
Added
- Added support for tracking custom location attributes. See the
ab.User.setCustomLocationAttribute
documentation for more information. - When calling
appboy.registerAppboyPushMessages
with adeniedCallback
, thatdeniedCallback
will now be invoked (with atemporary
parameter oftrue
) for temporary denials, where the browser has automatically denied permission on behalf of the user after multiple ignored attempts to register for push, but will allow attempts again in the future - probably in about a week. - Added
appboyBridge.web.trackLocation()
in HTML in-app messages. This enables HTML in-app message soft location tracking prompts.
Fixed
- News Feed and Content Cards clicks and impressions will now be logged multiple times for a given card (if they in fact occur multiple times). Impressions will still only be logged for a given card once per viewing of the feed (regardless of how many times it scrolls in and out of view).
- Improved logic around IndexedDB to better catch and log errors (prevents security errors with disabled cookies on certain browsers, or from Safari’s “Intelligent Tracking Prevention” when integrated in an iFrame).
- Worked around this Chrome Bug which could cause device detection to throw “Unsupported time zone specified undefined” on Linux-based systems with certain settings.
- Fixed an issue where the messagingReadyCallback would not get fired if changeUser was called with an empty ID.
Changed
- Data will now be flushed to the Braze backend every three seconds when localStorage is not available.
- Improved triggered in-app message re-eligibility logic to better handle templating failures.
2.2.2
Added
- Updated push token handling to automatically remove blocked users from the pushable audience on session start.
Fixed
- Fixed issue in Content Cards where the
getUnviewedCardCount
method onab.ContentCards
could not be invoked properly. - Fixed a bug where the
addAlias
method was returning an object instead of a boolean value. - Fixed issue which could prevent Content Cards from syncing properly on IE 11 and Safari.
Changed
- Various user attribute methods now support setting null (
setFirstName
,setLastName
,setCountry
,setHomeCity
,setPhoneNumber
,setEmail
,setGender
,setLanguage
, andsetDateOfBirth
) by passing in an explicit null value.
2.2.1
Fixed
- Prevent push received/clicked analytics from being sent to the Braze backend when
appboy.stopWebTracking
has been called.
2.2.0
Added
- Introduced support for Content Cards, which will eventually replace the existing News Feed feature and adds significant capability.
- Added support for web push on Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP). See https://www.braze.com/documentation/Web/#amp-support for setup information.
Fixed
- Fixed an issue where in-app messages triggered on session start could potentially be templated with the old user’s attributes.
Removed
- Removed
appboy.requestInAppMessageRefresh()
and support for legacy in-app messages - these were long-deprecated and have been supplanted by triggered in-app messages.
2.1.1
Fixed
- Prevent push received/clicked analytics from being sent to the Braze backend when
appboy.stopWebTracking
has been called.
2.1.0
Added
- Added
appboy.wipeData()
to allow deletion of locally stored SDK data. After calling this method, users will appear as a new anonymous user on a new device.
Fixed
- Improved push registration and unregistration
appboy.registerAppboyPushMessages
will now set the user’s subscription status to “OPTED_IN” only at times when they’ve just accepted the permission prompt.appboy.unregisterAppboyPushMessages
will now persist across sessions and user changes (untilappboy.registerAppboyPushMessages
is called again).appboy.registerAppboyPushMessages
will cause push prompts to be shown shown more reliably in situations where the user has ignored them in the past. Logging around dismissing (as opposed to accepting or blocking) push prompts has been improved.
- Fixed a bug with
appboy.changeUser
wheremessagingReadyCallback
would not fire when the supplieduserId
was the current user.
Changed
- Updated from FontAwesome 4.3.0 to FontAwesome 4.7.0. Integrations that wish to maintain older versions should pass in
doNotLoadFontAwesome
astrue
during initialization and load their desired version. - The Braze SDK will automatically load FontAwesome unless
doNotLoadFontAwesome
is explicitly passed in astrue
during initialization, regardless of whether fontawesome.css or fontawesome.min.css are already on the page.
2.0.9
Fixed
- Prevent push received/clicked analytics from being sent to the Braze backend when
appboy.stopWebTracking
has been called.
2.0.8
Added
- Added defensive guards against any possibility of sessions expiring in less than 1 second or of creating multiple session events in rapid succession if scripted in parallel across many open tabs.
2.0.7
Added
- Added support for Voluntary Application Server Identification (VAPID) for Web Push:
- Will be required for Microsoft Edge’s upcoming Web Push support, and possibly other browsers in the future.
- Allows importing of VAPID-enabled push tokens generated by other push providers, given the corresponding keypair ([email protected]).
- Happens transparently in the background and does not require an integration update.
- Once the browser landscape has sufficiently matured, this will eventually obviate the need to supply a
gcm_sender_id
in your site’smanifest.json
.
Changed
appboy.unregisterAppboyPushMessages
now accepts optionalsuccessCallback
anderrorCallback
arguments to signal completion, as it functions asynchronously.
2.0.6
Fixed
- Fixed a javascript error introduced in 2.0.5 when logging in the service worker.
2.0.5
Added
- Added Location Tracking - See
appboy.trackLocation()
for more information. appboy.user.setGender
now supports more gender options. See theGenders
enum documentation for more information.- Added
appboy.stopWebTracking()
andappboy.resumeWebTracking()
to allow user opt-outs. - Improved accessibility for in-app messages and news feed by focusing on elements where appropriate, allowing users to tab through various buttons, and adding labels where appropriate.
Fixed
- Fixed a bug that caused
appboy.display.automaticallyShowNewInAppMessages()
not to function correctly when called after callingappboy.destroy()
and then callingappboy.initialize()
a second time. - The
openSession
andchangeUser
methods now take amessagingReadyCallback
that executes when the Braze Web SDK is ready to show messaging data to this user. This fixes a race condition where custom events could be logged before in-app messages had been fetched from the Braze backend and users would not see intended messaging.
Changed
- Deprecated the
submitFeedback
method. The feedback feature is disabled for new accounts, and will be removed in a future SDK release.
2.0.4
Changed
- Renamed documentation references from Appboy to Braze. This is not a breaking change.
2.0.3
Fixed
- Fixed a null reference error when replaying calls made using the new integration snippet on IE 11.
2.0.2
Fixed
- Fixed an issue with our minification that would cause the Braze Web SDK to leak polyfill functions into the global namespace.
2.0.1
Fixed
- Fixed automatic css loading when used in combination with the doNotLoadFontAwesome initialization option.
2.0.0
Breaking
- Braze now automatically loads required CSS styles. You must remove all references to appboy.min.css from your site.
- The
getUserId
method now takes a callback which it invokes with the userId, instead of returning a value directly. This is necessary to ensure the proper replaying of calls made toappboy
before the SDK has fully loaded. Where before, you would dovar userId = appboy.getUser().getUserId();
, now doappboy.getUser().getUserId(function(userId) { console.log(userId); })
See thegetUserId method documentation
for more information. - The
getDeviceId
method now takes a callback which it invokes with the deviceId, instead of returning a value directly. This is necessary to ensure the proper replaying of calls made toappboy
before the SDK has fully loaded. See thegetDeviceId method documentation
for more information.
Changed
- The default Braze integration snippet has been updated for best-practices compliance, resilience, and performance. Using this new snippet, calls may be made to
appboy
before the SDK has fully loaded, and will be replayed automatically when the SDK loads. We recommend that you update your site’s integration to the new snippet for optimal behavior, but this is not a breaking change, and is not required.
Added
- If you are using a front-end packager such as Browserify or Webpack, the NPM integration instructions have been updated to meet your use-case.
1.6.14
Added
- Added the user agent for the https://prerender.io/ crawler to the list of known web crawlers.
- Added
ab.User.setLanguage
method to allow explicit control over the language you use in the Braze dashboard to localize your messaging content.
Fixed
- Fixed array validation on pages where the Array type has been modified by other scripts.
Changed
- Marked the ‘touchstart’ listener in in-app messages as ‘passive’ for performance and PWA compliance.
1.6.13
Added
- Contains service-worker support for Web Push notifications that require user interaction to be dismissed.
Fixed
- Improved time zone recognition on modern browsers to prevent possible ambiguity between different zones with similar UTC offsets.
- Broadened detection of the Android OS to better recognize newer hardware and as-of-yet unreleased hardware on an ongoing basis.
- Fixed data-formation error when pending additions or removals to a custom attribute array were re-enqueued following a Braze backend outage or otherwise failed data flush.
Changed
- We now allow a value of 0 for the
minimumIntervalBetweenTriggerActionsInSeconds
option forappboy.initialize
1.6.12
Added
- Introduced
noCookies
option. By default, the Braze SDK will store small amounts of data (user ids, session ids), in cookies. This is done to allow Braze to recognize users and sessions across different subdomains of your site. If this presents a problem for you, passtrue
for this option to disable cookie storage and rely entirely on HTML 5 localStorage to identify users and sessions. The downside of this configuration is that you will be unable to recognize users across subdomains of your site. - Added user aliasing capability. Aliases can be used in the API and dashboard to identify users in addition to their ID. See the
addAlias method documentation
for more information.
Fixed
- Fixed issue in which the local cache of seen in-app messages and news feed cards was being cleared when the anonymous user was identified, allowing certain items to be retriggered or appear unread.
1.6.11
Added
- When you call
appboy.openSession
, if the user has previously granted the site permission to send push, Braze will now automatically send the user’s push token to Braze backend. This will allow users to continue to receive push messages if they manually remove push permission and then subsequently manually reenable it - and will also cause user push tokens to automatically migrate to Braze over time when moving to Braze from a previously-integrated third-party push provider.
Fixed
- IMPORTANT: Due to a behavioral change in Chrome 59, to reliably receive notifications, you must update the service worker from https://js.appboycdn.com/web-sdk/1.6/service-worker.js.
appboy.display.automaticallyShowNewInAppMessages()
may now be safely called multiple times on the sameappboy
instance.
1.6.10
Fixed
- A bug in our documentation for soft push prompts could cause Control Group stats to fail. If you previously implemented soft push prompts, please refer to the latest version of our documentation: https://www.braze.com/documentation/Web/#soft-push-prompts
1.6.9
Added
- Added support for
appboyBridge.web.registerAppboyPushMessages
to allow HTML in-app messages to request push permission from the user.
1.6.8
Fixed
- Fixed “Notification is not defined” error when calling
appboy.isPushPermissionGranted
/appboy.isPushBlocked
on Chrome versions prior to 46.
1.6.7
Added
- The Braze Web SDK now supports HTML content in-app messages. For your security, these must be enabled by supplying the
enableHtmlInAppMessages
configuration option when callingappboy.initialize
.
Fixed
- The News Feed css is now defensive against any global box-sizing css rules that may exist on your site, and handles classic card image styling more gracefully.
- On mobile devices, Fullscreen in-app messages’ close buttons are sized relative to the entire device - this ensures touchable targets on high-resolution phones.
- Improved positioning of Modal in-app messages to ensure visibility and attractive positioning across all browsers.
1.6.6
Fixed
- Fixed a data-storage issue where a small number of users impacted by the issue fixed in 1.6.5 may record a new session on page load after upgrading to 1.6.5.
1.6.5
Fixed
- Cookies are now stored with path=/ for sitewide accessibility, ensuring that identification persists sitewide in all situations. This fixes an issue introduced in 1.6.0.
1.6.4
Added
- The Braze Web SDK now ignores web crawler activity by default - this saves datapoints, makes analytics more accurate, and may improve page rank (this change can be reversed with the
allowCrawlerActivity
initialization option).
Fixed
- Fixed an issue where in-app messages triggered off of push clicks wouldn’t fire because the push click happened before the in-app message configuration was synced to the device.
- Increased defensiveness against corrupted localStorage or cookie data.
Changed
- Increased the size of in-app message close buttons on mobile browsers slightly to make an easier touch target.
- Updated
appboy.registerAppboyPushMessages
to flush subscriptions to the server immediately.
1.6.3
Changed
- Further improved the layout of Fullscreen in-app messages on short desktop screens.
1.6.2
Changed
- Deprecated the
appboy.isPushGranted
method in favor of the newappboy.isPushPermissionGranted
. The old method was inappropriately testing whether the browser has an active push subscription, and not doing the intended test of whether the user has granted push permission. The old method will be removed in an upcoming release.
1.6.1
Fixed
- Improved Modal in-app message layout to prevent text-view scrolling until necessary.
Changed
- Deprecated the
safariWebsitePushId
parameter toappboy.registerAppboyPushMessages
andappboy.isPushGranted
in favor of the newsafariWebsitePushId
option toappboy.initialize
. If you implement Safari push, you should convert your integration to use the new initialization option - support for the parameters will be removed in a future release. This is not yet a breaking change. - Polished Fullscreen in-app message display on desktop browsers to reduce unused whitespace when the content is small enough not to scroll.
1.6.0
Fixed
- Fixed an edge-case that could cause SlideUp in-app messages to appear offscreen if many were triggered in rapid succession.
Changed
- Improved ability to consistently identify users, devices, and sessions across subdomains by preferring domain-wide cookies for ID storage (over the previously-preferred localStorage).
1.5.1
Fixed
- Fixed a rendering issue that could cause FullScreen in-app messages to appear partially off-screen on very short browser windows.
1.5.0
Added
- Added support for upgraded in-app messages including image-only messages, improved image sizing/cropping, text scrolling, text alignment, configurable orientation, and configurable frame color.
- Added support for in-app messages triggered on custom event properties, purchase properties, and in-app message clicks.
- Improved support for templated in-app messages.
- Added appboy.isPushGranted() method, useful for migrating existing push subscriptions from another third-party provider to Braze.
- Added language localization - language is detected automatically from the browser or can be specified explicitly via the
language
initialization option.
1.4.2
Added
- Added additional logging information for Safari push.
1.4.1
Added
- Added a more explicit error when attempting to call registerAppboyPushMessages on Safari without supplying a safariWebsitePushID.
1.4.0
Added
- Added support for Safari push messages.
- If you version your website, you may now optionally pass the version to Braze via the new
appVersion
initialization option. - The News Feed now displays a timed-out message to users if the refresh fails (due to network or back end outages).
- Browser version will now be reported as part of the user’s device information along with browser.
- Added ability to specify on a message-by-message basis whether in-app message clicks should open in a new tab or same tab.
Fixed
- Fixed an issue which caused emoji in web push messages to be broken on Firefox.
Changed
- Overhauled the browser detection code for improved reliability.
1.3.3
Added
- Added a new
serviceWorkerLocation
initialization option. See JSDocs for more information.
1.3.2
Added
- Added support for Braze Feedback through the new appboy.submitFeedback method.
Fixed
- In-App Messages now track click analytics even when the click action is “None.”
- Prevent Mobile Safari in Private Browsing mode from throwing an exception. This issue was introduced in 1.3.0.
1.3.1
Fixed
- Prevent Firefox from throwing an exception when in Private Browsing mode. This issue was introduced in 1.3.0.
1.3.0
Breaking
- The
inAppMessages
parameter toappboy.subscribeToNewInAppMessages
subscribers may now containab.ControlMessage
objects.
Added
- Adds support for triggered in-app messages.
Fixed
- Fixed a bug where news feed cards weren’t always immediately being marked as read during scrolling.
Changed
- All iOS devices will now report their OS as “iOS” instead of “iPhone/iPod” or “iPad”.
1.2.2
Fixed
- Fixed a javascript error that could occur when attempting to showFeed before the body has loaded.
- Made in-app message buttons explicitly display:inline-block so that they still display correctly if the site is styling buttons as display:block.
1.2.1
Fixed
- The service worker now reads Braze’s backend URL from IndexedDB, which allows web push to function for clients with custom Braze endpoints.
- isPushBlocked now returns false when isPushSupported is false instead of erroring.
1.2.0
Breaking
- Restyled the news feed for improved legibility with a wider variety of card content. If you have existing news feed css customization this may be a breaking change.
Added
- Supports web push (on browsers implementing the w3c spec, with or without payloads - i.e. Chrome, Firefox).
- Introduced appboy.toggleFeed as a convenience method - it simply calls appboy.showFeed or appboy.destroyFeed based on whether there’s currently a feed showing.
Fixed
- Buttonless FullScreen and Modal messages now respect body click actions from the dashboard.
Changed
- To reduce the datapoint impact of the high number of anonymous users on the web, in-app messages are no longer. automatically refreshed for new, anonymous users on their first openSession call. You can override this behavior and force an in-app message refresh by manually calling appboy.requestInAppMessageRefresh.
- In-App Messages may now be dismissed with a click on the greyed-out background of the page. This behavior may be prevented by passing requireExplicitInAppMessageDismissal:true to
appboy.initialize
.
1.1.1
Added
- Expanded browser detection to recognize more niche browsers.
Fixed
- Fixed an issue which would cause some Android devices to be detected as Linux.
1.1.0
Added
- Introduced
appboy.logFeedDisplayed
, which is called automatically when usingappboy.display.showFeed
.
Fixed
- Fixed a race condition which could cause events to be double-counted if the user had the site open in very many tabs at once.
Changed
- News feed and in-app message links now open in the same tab.
1.0.1
Fixed
- The SDK now logs correctly to the console when enableLogging is true (or toggleAppboyLogging has been called) and no custom logger has been specified.
1.0.0
Added
- Respect blacklisted custom events, attributes, and purchases.
Removed
- Removed the setBio method on ab.User in accordance with the deprecation of that user property across the Braze platform.
0.2.4
Fixed
- Fixed an issue which was causing the in-app message refresh throttle not to persist beyond a single page load.
0.2.3
Added
- Introduce
appboy.display.destroyFeed
method to allow integrators to implement a toggle feed button or otherwise hide the feed from code.
Fixed
- Prevent potential race condition which could cause news feed cards to not be marked as read for a short amount of time.
Removed
- Remove the news feed z-index. If necessary, the z-index can be set manually via CSS:
.ab-feed { z-index: }
.
0.2.2
Fixed
- Fix issue where already-cached news feed cards were not properly having impressions logged when the news feed was first shown.
Changed
- Minor improvements to In-App Message styling.
0.2.1
Added
- Give the news feed a z-index just below bootstrap modal backdrops.
Fixed
- Support legacy Internet Explorer (complete IE9 support, generally functional IE8 support).
Changed
- Ignore in-app messages with an unknown type (prevents future message types from be inappropriately displayed on versions of the sdk which don’t yet support them).

Fixed
- Correctly identify IE11.
0.1.4
Fixed
