Session Variables in Zoho Guided Conversations – Set and Update Easily with Code

Session Variables for iOS


Session variables are dynamic key-value pairs maintained throughout a conversation in Zoho guided conversations (GC). They are organization-specific and accessible across multiple flows.


Actions you can perform with Session Variables     

Set Session Variables 

Swift  
 let variables: [[String: Any]] = [
    ["name": "exampleName", "value": "exampleValue"]
]
ZohoGC.setSessionVariables(botId: "YOUR_BOT_ID", sessionVariables: variables) 
 
Objective-C  
NSArray *variables = @[
    @{@"name": @"exampleName", @"value": @"exampleValue"}
];
[ZohoGC setSessionVariablesWithBotId:@"YOUR_BOT_ID" sessionVariables:variables]; 

Update Session Variables     

Swift  
let variables: [[String: Any]] = [
    ["name": "exampleName", "value": "newValue"]
]
ZohoGC.updateSessionVariables(botId: "YOUR_BOT_ID", sessionVariables: variables) 
 
Objective-C   
NSArray *variables = @[
    @{@"name": @"exampleName", @"value": @"newValue"}
];
[ZohoGC updateSessionVariablesWithBotId:@"YOUR_BOT_ID" sessionVariables:variables]; 

Note


The "name" and "value" keys in the session variable must not be changed or renamed.
These keys are required by the Zoho server API to correctly identify:
  1. the name of the session variable to be set or updated, and
  2. the value to assign to that variable.
 If the keys are modified, the server will not recognize the data, and the session variable operation will fail. Always use "name" and "value" exactly as shown to ensure reliable integration with the backend.
