Geo based feature flags

[farzinnasiri]

Hi,
we recently discovered unleashed and deployed an instance on our servers to explore the product.
one important item for our company is the ability to activate features based on the user's location, for instance, different countries.
I see that Unleash does not have this option out of the box, but is there any way to implement it?

Thank you

I suggest you have a look at custom activation strategies if you have access to the location data.
https://docs.getunleash.io/reference/custom-activation-strategies

It then varies what SDK you use.

Update: Have also a look at strategy constraints. https://docs.getunleash.io/reference/strategy-constraints
They do have an example with regions in there as well.

Aren't custom activation strategies deprecated?

furthermore I don't see the option to filter users based on the region in my deployment, but the option is said to be available in the docs:

You can create your own context field. See https://docs.getunleash.io/reference/unleash-context#custom-context-fields
