Inbox

Open in a new tab

Overview

Have an operator announcement and a gift with coins attached delivered to your own inbox, then open them. Delivered messages appear unread under Your inbox and turn read once opened. Opening the gift pays its 100 coins into the wallet under Where the coins land.

How to try it

  1. Press Deliver under An announcement you can have delivered; an unread message reading “Welcome to the GS2 inbox demo!” arrives in Your inbox. Each press delivers one more message.
  2. Press Open on a message in Your inbox; it turns read and shows Opened. in place of the button.
  3. Press Deliver under A gift with coins attached (Carries 100 coins.); a message reading “A gift from the operator: 100 coins.” arrives.
  4. Press Open on the gift message; Free balance under Where the coins land goes up by 100.

Deliver here does not receive the announcement the way a client normally would; it sends a fresh copy through an exchange, so every press delivers another message.

GS2 services used

  • GS2-Inbox: GS2-Inbox holds the player’s inbox and whether each message is read. The gift message carries a GS2-Money2 deposit as its reward for opening, which runs when the message is opened.
  • GS2-Exchange: Two free GS2-Exchange rates define the transactions behind the Deliver buttons, which send the announcement and the gift message to GS2-Inbox. Delivered messages expire after 7 days.
  • GS2-Money2: The GS2-Money2 wallet (slot 0) receives the gift’s 100 free coins when the gift message is opened.
