Hi brainCloud team, We're evaluating the LiveOps Campaign feature for a time-limited in-game event system, and based on the public documentation and our local SDK/CloudCode type definitions, we've drawn some conclusions we'd like to confirm before committing to a design around them. Could you help verify the following? No write/update operation for Campaign definitions Per docs.braincloudservers.com/api/capi/campaign/ and .../api/s2s/campaign/, the only operations exposed are GetMyCampaigns, SysTriggerCampaignForUser, SysRemoveCampaignForUser, and SysRemoveAllCampaignsForUser — all of which manage a specific player's enrollment/participation, not the campaign definition itself. We see that GetMyCampaigns returns free-form campaignJson and scenarioJson fields, but we can't find any operation (Client API or S2S) that writes to campaignJson/scenarioJson/startAt/endAt/scenarios/overrides after the campaign is created. Is this correct — is Campaign definition data (including campaignJson) only editable through the Design Portal UI, with no API path (including any Server-to-Server or "Sys"-prefixed operation) to create or update it programmatically? Is there a separate Builder/Design API (e.g. using a personal team-member API key rather than app credentials) that does support programmatic campaign creation/updates? If so, could you point us to its documentation? Trigger evaluation timing The docs state Trigger is "evaluated on LOGIN or REGISTRATION." For a player who is already in an active session when a campaign's startAt passes, will they be evaluated/enrolled into that campaign before their next login (e.g. on their next authenticated API call), or strictly only on an actual login/registration event? If the latter, is there any other mechanism (e.g. session refresh, heartbeat) that also triggers re-evaluation? Feature maturity / plan tier LiveOps Campaigns is marked beta as of SDK 6.0 documentation. Is this feature considered stable enough for production use in a live game (i.e. tied to real reward grants), or is it still recommended for experimentation only? Our production app is on a Bulk+ 100M plan add-on over a Business Plus baseline. Does this tier fully support Campaign, or does it require a separate Enterprise-tier confirmation? Cross-environment campaign management We maintain separate brainCloud apps for dev/staging/production and use our own internal tooling to diff and promote Custom Entity–based content between them via S2S. Since Campaign isn't a Custom Entity, is there any supported way (API-driven or otherwise) to keep a Campaign definition consistent across multiple apps, other than manually re-creating it in each app's Design Portal? Thanks in advance — confirming these will directly decide whether we build our event schedule/targeting on Campaign or on an alternative (Custom Entity–based) mechanism. Best regards

Hi @noah , brainCloud 6.0.1, which will be released next week, adds new data stream events for virtual item purchases. We'll keep #2 and #3 in mind as we continue to evolve things going forward. Thanks for pointing out MongoDB CDC - I wasn't familiar with that capability before. We'll take a harder look at it. Cheers! Paul.

Thanks for letting us know and your own solutions! We'll see if we can patch this into the JsonFx library we're using for future versions of brainCloud to avoid these edge cases.

Q1: The removed player is completely excluded from reward calculation, so if the deletion happens before the job runs, that player is never iterated over and receives no rank or rewards. Q2: Yes, the modified score will be used. The job always reads live state. Note that whether the score actually gets modified depends on the leaderboard type (e.g., for the LOW_VALUE type, only updates if the new score is less than the existing) Q3: No backfilling, the next joiner goes to the latest instance, not the freed spot in ^2. No loop over earlier instances (^1, ^2) ever happens. The next joiner goes to ^3 (or ^4 if ^3 is full). The freed spot in ^2 stays empty permanently.
