Mobile Push campaign creation: step-by-step

The Channels/ Mobile Push tab allows sending personalized push notification messages to a segmented audience originating from Firebase-enabled mobile applications.

Creating a Mobile Push campaign

Clicking on the 'Create Mobile Push' button on the top of the Mobile Push tab will bring you to push notification settings. It is possible to insert content for Mobile Push, select a segment created beforehand, send a notification immediately to the customers, or set a schedule.

A new window with the content form of a mobile push campaign will be opened:

Name

(required)

Name of mobile push notification that will be visible in the list on the Channel / Mobile Push tab.

Remember: If performance reporting is set up for Mobile Push, frequently changing the campaign name may render the report difficult to understand. After the Mobile Push campaign is live and activated, we suggest changing the name as little as possible.

Title template

(required)

Title of Mobile Push that will be sent to the user's device. It is delivered in bold type to grab customers’ attention.

Body template

(required)

A message that the user wants to render as a notification to the customers’ mobile phones.

TTL

(required)

TTL, or Time-to-Live, guarantees the delivery of notifications, even when a user's device is offline or out of network coverage.

The default and maximum TTL period is set to 4 weeks. This means notifications will be stored and delivered within this timeframe, ensuring users receive relevant information.

However, you can shorten the TTL if the push notification's content becomes outdated sooner than the default period. Possible to choose from 1 min, 2 mins, 3 mins, 5 mins, 10 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks.

Warning: the notification might be truncated on iOS devices if the title and body combined exceed 178 characters in length. The notification might be truncated on Android devices if the title exceeds 65 characters in length and the body 240 characters.

Personalize Mobile Pushes

To personalize a Mobile Push, you can use attributes in the title and body of the Mobile Push template. You may use the attribute picker to refer to a needed attribute. It is allowed to use single-value attributes only, both scalar and compound.

The syntax for referencing attributes is as follows:

Scalar: {{customer_db_name}}, {{mx_geo_city}}, etc.
Compound: {{bank_cs_cases.date}}, {{bank_web_exit_page.product_viewed}}, etc.

If an attribute value is undefined, it is rendered as an empty string.

Preview

Users can see dynamic text appearing on the preview on the right. It is possible to switch previews between iOS and Android. If a user does not have the right to see the PII attribute set in “Attribute visibility protection”, then the PII attribute used in the Mobile Push will be displayed to the user on the preview as *protected information*.

Click on the Save button to apply your changes in the Mobile Push campaign and enable the activation tab.
