Remote Config

Overview

Remote Configuration allows you to make dynamic changes in your app's behavior and appearance without releasing an update.

You configure in-app default values that control the appearance and behavior of your app. Toggling app features, changing button colors, updating the label text, changing promo banners, etc. are a few examples of app experiences that you can dynamically change using Remote Config.
 

  • Navigate to Growth > Remote Configuration.

Parameters

Parameters are the key-value pairs that are used to control the appearance and behavior of your app.

Add parameters in Remote Config

  • Click on Add New Parameter and a pop-up will appear on the screen. 
  • Add the details like the parameter key, default value, and description (optional). 
  • Click Create and the parameter will be created and will appear in the parameters list in the dashboard.

  • Hover on the individual Parameters and click the overflow icon to see the advanced menu like edit, duplicate, delete, and history.

Note: The parameter key should start with an underscore or an alphabet (A-Z, a-z), and can also include numbers.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT STORE ANY SENSITIVE INFORMATION OR PII (PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION) IN THE PARAMETERS.

Conditions

A condition is used to assign different values to a given parameter. Conditions are made up of one or more filters that must all be true for the condition.

You can add conditions in Remote Config either while adding new parameters, or from the Conditions tab.
