  • Campaign Key: It is a unique value that distinguishes the campaign and can be used to extract users exposed to a specific campaign.
  • Campaign Title / Description: You can modify the title and description of the campaign.
  • Campaign Status: When you first create a campaign, its status is "Draft." After setting up the campaign content, you can start the campaign. If you want to modify an ongoing campaign, you need to change its status to "Paused". You can also end a campaign if you no longer want to continue it.

Step 3-3. Campaign Experiment > Setting

You can choose the best one through A/B Test with various messages.

  1. Create A/B Test
  • By clicking the [+A/B Test] button to create the various messages for A/B Test.

  • You can add more Group and remove the group as below image.

  • About Measure

    • Traffic distribution is called MAB.
      The experiment measures the performance of each message based on the 'click rate', maintains traffic distribution every 1/24/48 hours after the message is exposed, and adjusts traffic distribution based on the performance of each message
    • CTR(Click-through rate) only calculates the click-through rate of links entered in the in-app message settings. (Close button is not included in the click-through rate.)

Step 4. Trigger

You can configure when the message will be displayed based on specific events. If you're wondering how to add events, you can refer to Create a New Event for more information.

Trigger event

Trigger event

  • Start Event
    • You can configure when the message will be displayed based on specific events. If you're wondering how to add events, you can refer to Create a New Event for more information.
  • Filters (Optional)
    • You can set more detailed conditions through event properties. In the example image, the view_productDetail event's category_id property is used to set the condition of displaying the message when visiting a specific category's product page.
  • Exposure Frequency
    • You can set the frequency of displaying the message to prevent customer fatigue. If multiple conditions are set, they will be applied with an AND condition.
      • How many times to display within one session of the same user.
      • How many times to display to the same user's device (regardless of the period).
      • How many times to display to the same user daily/hourly.

Step 5. Period

You can configure whether to keep the message displayed continuously or for a specific duration.

Scheduling

Scheduling

  • If you select "Display permanently", the message will be immediately displayed when you click "Start", and it will continue to be displayed unless explicitly "End" is triggered.
  • If you set a customized schedule, the message will only be displayed during the configured period.

Step 6. Run the campaign

You can also target specific users instead of stead of all users. Utilize various properties to define your desired customer segments!

Targeting

Targeting

If you want to test the message on internal user devices before exposing it to actual customers, you can input the desired user identifier into the test devices.

Step 7. Run the campaign
