--- title: Create a No Action Handler slug: sdks/no-action-handler description: How to create an action that discards collected data and does nothing for the React Native, iOS, and Android versions of the Monetate SDK image: https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ceIfEvQHzQk1IVxoRWUh7/K9eTL4jKm7UQINb6zNziJ-20250912-181225.png docTags: createdAt: 2024-07-22T18:41:18.398Z --- :::BlockQuote **Note :**This legacy flow remains supported for backward compatibility.New integrations are recommended to use the Context Layer–based getActions() approach.[ check below](https://developer.monetate.com/sdks/no-action-handler#hSB5a) ::: In some cases when you trigger an action, you might want to discard the collected data and do nothing. In these cases, you can direct the [getActions](docId\:F5SIeJXaS3hi38DaXdVPy) or [getActionsData](docId\:F5SIeJXaS3hi38DaXdVPy) method to perform no action. No data is returned in this case. Use this option to improve performance when you don't want to alter your site or the collected data. ## getActions Reports an event and immediately requests a decision from Monetate. :::::Tabs ::::Tab{title="React Native"} :::CodeblockTabs getActions Method ```javascript getActions(actionType, context?, eventData?, includeReporting?) : Promise ``` ::: The parameters are as follows: - `actionType` is the type of action you want to request. You can specify one action or multiple actions in an array to handle. - `context` is name of the event. - `eventData` is the data associated with the event. - `includeReporting` indicates whether the response will have impression reporting data. Use `NoAction` as the action type for this method. :::: ::::Tab{title="React Web"} :::CodeblockTabs getActions Method ```javascript getActions(actionType, context?, eventData?, includeReporting?) : Promise ``` ::: The parameters are as follows: - `actionType` is the type of action you want to request. You can specify one action or multiple actions in an array to handle. - `context` is name of the event. - `eventData` is the data associated with the event. - `includeReporting` indicates whether the response will have impression reporting data. Use `NoAction` as the action type for this method. :::: ::::Tab{title="iOS"} :::CodeblockTabs getActions Method ```swift objPersonalization.getActions(context: , requestId: , includeReporting: , arrActionTypes: <[String]>, event: ) ``` ::: Parameters: - `context` is name of the event. - `requestID` is the request ID for the API. - `includeReporting` indicates whether the response will have impression reporting data. - `arrActionTypes` is the type of actions you want to request. You can specify multiple actions in an array to handle. - `event` is the data associated with the event. Use `NoAction` as the action type for this method. :::: ::::Tab{title="Android"} :::CodeblockTabs getActions Method ```java public String getActions(String context, Object event, String[] actionTypes, boolean includeReports) {returns response;} ``` ::: The parameters are as follows: - `actionTypes` is the type of action you want to request. You can specify one action or multiple actions in an array to handle. - `context` is name of the event. - `eventData` is the data associated with the event. - `includeReporting` indicates whether the response will have impression reporting data. Use `NoAction` as the action type for this method. :::: ::::: ### Code Example :::::Tabs ::::Tab{title="React Native"} :::CodeblockTabs getActions Example ```javascript let recData; personalizationInstance .getActions("monetate:action:NoAction") .then(res => { recsData = res[0].actions; }) .catch(error => { console.warn('Error!', error); }); ``` ::: :::: ::::Tab{title="React Web"} :::CodeblockTabs getActions Example ```javascript let recData; personalizationInstance .getActions("monetate:action:NoAction") .then(res => { recsData = res[0].actions; }) .catch(error => { console.warn('Error!', error); }); ``` ::: :::: ::::Tab{title="iOS"} :::CodeblockTabs getActions Example ```swift import MarqueeLabel import UIKit import monetate_ios_sdk class CategoryViewController: UIViewController { final var objPersonalization = Personalization( account: Account( instance: "p", domain: "localhost.org", name: "a-701b337c", shortname: "localhost"), user: User(deviceId: "62bd2e2d-213d-463f-83bb-12c0b2530a14")) override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() } override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) { super.viewWillAppear(animated) noActionEvent() } func noActionEvent() { objPersonalization.getActions( context: .PageView, requestId: "test_request_id", includeReporting: true, arrActionTypes: ["monetate:action:NoAction"], event: PageView( pageType: "Homepage", path: "n/a", url: "n/a", categories: [], breadcrumbs: []) ).on { (res) in if res.status == 200 { let data = JSON(res.data) print(data) self.handleAction(res: res) } else { } } } } ``` ::: :::: ::::Tab{title="Android"} :::CodeblockTabs getActions Example ```java String data = personalization.getActions(EventTypes.ContextIpAddress, new IpAddress("1.0.0.0"), new String[] { "monetate:action:NoAction" }, true); ``` ::: :::: ::::: ## getActionsData Requests an experience decision from Monetate based off the action type. :::::Tabs ::::Tab{title="React Native"} :::CodeblockTabs getActionsData Method ```javascript getActionsData(actionType: Array, includeReporting?: boolean) : Promise ``` ::: The parameters are as follows: - `actionTypes` is the type of action you want to request.

Below is the sample code snippet demonstrating this usage. For detailed information on the enhanced getActions() flow, please refer to the **[Context](https://developer.monetate.com/sdks/objects#mDSKQ)** and **[getActions](https://developer.monetate.com/sdks/getactions)** sections. ## Code Eample :::::Tabs ::::Tab{title="iOS"} :::CodeblockTabs getActions method ```swift public func getActions(context:ContextObj,arrActionTypes:[String],includeReporting: Bool) ``` ::: :::: ::::Tab{title="Android"} :::CodeblockTabs getActions method ```java public void getActions(Context context, String[] actionTypes, boolean includeReports, ActionsCallback actionsCallback) { ``` ::: ## Full Code Exmaple :::: ::::Tab{title="React-Native"} :::CodeblockTabs{indent="2"} getAction Method New ```typescript async getActions( actionType: string | string[], context?: any, includeReporting: boolean = true, errorCallback?: (result: { status: "success" | "failed"; error?: unknown }) => void ): Promise<{ data: unknown; errors?: unknown }> {} ``` ::: :::: ::::Tab{title="Web"} :::CodeblockTabs{indent="2"} getAction Method New ```typescript async getActions( actionType: string | string[], context?: any, includeReporting: boolean = true, errorCallback?: (result: { status: "success" | "failed"; error?: unknown }) => void ): Promise<{ data: unknown; errors?: unknown }> {} ``` ::: :::: ::::: :::::Tabs ::::Tab{title="IOS"} :::CodeblockTabs Targeting NoAction using getActions ```swift let contextObj = ContextObj() // setting up context data contextObj.addIpAddress("1.0.0.0") //Request No Action data objPersonalization.getActions(context: contextObj, arrActionTypennelRecommendation"], includeReporting: false) .on(success: { (actions) in self.handleRecommendations(actions: actions) }) } ``` ::: :::: ::::Tab{title="Android"} :::CodeblockTabs getActions Example ```java // setting up context data Context context = new Context(); context.addIpAddress("1.0.0.0"); //Request Banner Action data personalization.getActions(context, new String[] {"monetate:action:NoAction"}, false,new ActionsCallback() { @Override public void onSuccess(String actions) { // print data received System.out.println("Action data :"+actions); } @Override public void onError(Exception e) { // prints if any error or exception occur System.out.println("Ex :"+e); } }); ``` ::: :::: ::::Tab{title="React-Native"} :::CodeblockTabs{indent="2"} getAction Example ```typescript const context = new Context(); context.addIpAddress("1.0.0.0"); Personalization.getActions( ["monetate:action:NoAction"], monetateContext) .then((res: any) => console.log("Action === 1 res", res)); ``` ::: :::: ::::Tab{title="Web"} :::CodeblockTabs{indent="2"} getAction Example ```typescript const context = new Context(); context.addIpAddress("1.0.0.0"); Personalization.getActions( ["monetate:action:NoAction"], monetateContext) .then((res: any) => console.log("Action === res", res)); ``` ::: :::: :::::
