Manage Connectors: SDK (Auto-create)
Some data doesn't come from a file you upload or a form someone fills out — it's generated the moment a customer clicks, scrolls, or opens your app. The SDK Connector captures that behavioral data automatically, with nothing for you to set up.
1. Overview
- Definition: Collects customer engagements (clicks, page views, and more) from your mobile app (SDK App) or website (SDK Web).
- Core difference: Unlike Database or API Connectors, you cannot manually create an SDK Connector. Mobio automatically generates it the moment you successfully integrate a new platform.
- Users: IT (system setup), CDP Admin.
2. Terminology & Configuration Parameters
- SDK Web — A code snippet embedded in your website to capture engagements.
- SDK App — A toolkit embedded in your mobile app’s source code (iOS/Android).
3. Prerequisites
To have Mobio auto-generate an SDK Connector, complete one of the following first:
- New website integration: Declare a website
- Landing Page: Publish a Landing Page
- Mobile app: Integrate a mobile app on the CDP
4. Step-by-step instructions
This process is fully automatic — you don’t need to do anything. Once you meet the prerequisite, Mobio runs the following steps in the background:
Step 1: Create the source and assign a name
- When you finish integrating a website or mobile app through Mobio’s SDK, Data Flow automatically creates a matching connector (classified as SDK Web or SDK App) in the list — no manual setup required.
- The connector name defaults to the website or app name you declared earlier.
Step 2: Auto-fill the Sync Rules
- Target entity: Every SDK Connector defaults to syncing data into Profile – Event tracking.
- Connection status: Automatically turned ON, with the sync mechanism set to Streaming.
- Identify Profile & Consent: Mobio automatically sets Tracking, Analytics, and Marketing Consent to YES and applies default identity rules (see Identity Resolution for details).
Step 3: View Connector details
- Even though you can’t create it manually, you can still view and manage it. Go to Settings → Data Integration → Data Flow.
- On the Data Flow screen, SDK App and SDK Web appear as two separate data source groups, collapsed by default. Click a group to expand the list of connectors inside it.
- From that expanded list, you can turn each connector’s connection ON/OFF or view its sync rules.
5. Operational Rules

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: Why can’t I click the SDK Web or SDK App source type in the Add New menu?
- A: Those options are disabled because Mobio only generates SDK Connectors automatically — you can’t create one manually and attach a Web/App to it afterward.
