Key	String	Yes	Rule identifier. Use snake_case format. Example: high_value_customer
Description	String	No	Description helps to understand the rule's purpose
Tags	Dropdown	No	Tags to categorize rules. You can manage tags in the company profile section
Expression	String	Yes	Rule expression. For example- if the number of orders in the last 24 hours is > 10, consider it as high-value customer. The rule expression would be: no_of_orders_24h >10 See Logical Expression for syntax details.

Evaluating Rules

To determine whether a rule evaluates to true or false for a specific user, you can evaluate the rule using either the Datablit SDK or direct API calls.

Method 1: Using Datablit SDK

The recommended approach is to use the Datablit SDK for your platform. Check out the Datablit SDK documentation and navigate to your platform's specific implementation.

Method 2: Direct API Call

curl --location 'https://api.datablit.com/api/1.0/rule/eval' \
--header 'apiKey: 01JSWDEZYM0E19ZF3RMHS75PB1' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "key": "high_value_customer",
    "user_id": "1",
    "params": {
        "os_name": "android"
    }
}'

Parameters

key: The rule key identifier
user_id: The user ID to evaluate the rule for
params: Optional parameters that can be referenced in the rule expression

Using Parameters in Rules

You can pass optional parameters in JSON format and reference them inside the rule:

json

{
  "os_name": "android",
  "user_plan": "premium"
}

Inside the rule expression, you can reference these parameters:

no_of_orders_24h > 10 && os_name == 'android'

Method 3: Console Evaluation

You can also test rules directly in the Datablit Console:

Navigate to the Rules section in your project
Click on the three dots next to your rule and select "Evaluate"
Enter the user_id and any optional parameters
Click submit to see the evaluation result (true or false)
