States Catalog

You can use predefined Brand Mobiliser states to build interactive and event applications.

Each state definition includes:

Input variables – constant values, or values copied from a variable in the current user session.
Output variables – allow states to return values.
Follow-up state OK – the condition that constitutes success.
Follow-up state OK – the condition that constitutes failure, and possible reasons for the failure.
Follow-up state dynamic – dynamic conditions that transition to follow-up states.
State editor – example of the state configuration.
Notes – additional information about the state.
Usage – Application Composer screen shot that contains the state.

Add Subscriber State
Adds a subscriber and attributes to the selected subscriber list. You can retrieve a subscriber's MSISDN from a session variable, and set as many as 20 attributes.
Application Call State
Calls another application as a subroutine. The called application has access to session variables, and returns control to the current (calling) application.
Application Call Return State
The final state of applications that are called by other applications. This state returns a value to the calling application.
Compare Typed Variables State
Compares two variables of the same type: text, integer, double, or date.
Compare Variables State
Compares the values of two variables, for string equality.
Copy Variables State
Copies a constant or the value of a source variable to a session variable.
Counter State
Creates a variable that is incremented by one each time the state is called.
Get Subscriber State
Gets subscriber information from a selected subscriber list. The subscriber's MSISDN is retrieved from the session variable MSISDN. Up to 20 subscriber attributes can be retrieved and assigned to session variables.
Goto Application State
The final state of an application that transfers control to another application. Session variables are available to the next application.
Process Subscriber State
In event applications, the Process Subscriber state typically retrieves a subscriber from a subscriber set, passes the subscriber information to the Send SMS state, then either returns to get the next subscriber, or ends the application.
Send SMS State
Sends short message service (SMS) messages to mobile subscribers. If there is at least one follow-up state, the application waits for a subscriber response; otherwise, the application terminates.
Send USSD Input State
Sends a prompt for input to subscribers using Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD).
Send USSD Menu State
Sends a menu to subscribers via Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD), and expects menu-option responses. This is an abstract state type, which you can extend to develop dynamic menus.
Send USSD Text State
Sends a text notification to subscribers via Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD). When subscribers send confirmations, the channel manager passes the messages to the processing engine.
Set Variable State
Sets a session variable with a specified string value. If you specify a numeric value, it is saved as a string.
Start Application State
The Start Application state is the initial state in applications. It is created automatically, and cannot be deleted.
Update Subscriber State
Updates subscriber attributes in the selected subscriber set. Gets the subscriber's MSISDN from a session variable, and updates as many as 20 attributes.
