Handling no-fill

Subscribe to ad.no-fill to know when no ad was returned (geo-restriction, frequency cap, server-side skip). The skipCode payload tells you why.
onEvent: ({ name, payload }) => {
  if (name === 'ad.no-fill') {
    console.log('No ad available:', payload.skipCode)
  }
}
Every preload produces exactly one of ad.filled / ad.no-fill / ad.error per response, so you can rely on hearing back on every user message.

Pass every message, suppress ads with trackOnly

Always feed every message into the session, even when you don’t want an ad to appear (e.g. user is on a free trial, in a no-ads region, or you’ve decided to show ads only every Nth message). Skipping addMessage calls breaks the conversation context the server relies on for targeting. See Pacing for the full pattern. Use { trackOnly: true } to send the preload for analytics without generating an ad:
const shouldShowAd = userMessageCount % 5 === 0

session.addMessage(
  { id: msg.id, role: 'user', content: msg.content, createdAt: new Date() },
  { trackOnly: !shouldShowAd }
)
When trackOnly: true, the preload still fires (server keeps full analytics) but no ad.filled event will arrive for that message and session.createAd(...) won’t resolve to an ad. When the user updates their consent in your CMP, pass the new TCF string to updateOptions:
session.updateOptions({
  regulatory: { gdpr: 1, gdprConsent: '<new-TCF-string>' },
})
The next preload picks up the new value — no session recreation needed.

Switching character

The active character cannot be live-updated — the accumulated message history belongs to the original persona, so swapping mid-session would leave messages targeted at the wrong character. To switch character, destroy the current session and create a new one:
session.destroy()

session = createSession({
  publisherToken: '<your-publisher-token>',
  userId: 'user-1234',
  conversationId: 'conv-new',
  character: newCharacter,
})
The same applies to publisherToken, userId, conversationId, and enabledPlacementCodes — recreate the session whenever any of those change.

Loading older messages (conversation restore)

When restoring a conversation from your backend, call addMessage(...) once per historical message in order. Preloads are debounced (~10 ms), so rapid sequential calls coalesce into a single preload for the most recent user message — you won’t fire one preload per restored message.
for (const m of loadedFromBackend) {
  session.addMessage({
    id: m.id,
    role: m.role,
    content: m.content,
    createdAt: m.timestamp,
  })
}
