Push

The Push delivery channel is available for Geofence campaigns.

One of the major advantages of using Geofences is that there is no need to preload a Subscription List relevant to the Campaign, as it provides a contextual interaction with mobile users based on their physical location.

Only subscribers that have Opted-in to LBS services of the app, registered by the SDK, will be eligible to receive the push notification and this information will appear here.

This is shown in two Subscriber’s status boxes: the green box includes the number of eligible subscribers to participate in the campaign, while the gray box reflects those who are not. That is, you can verify the reach of your notification through the number of users that are eligible to receive the Push Notification once they enter the GeoFence area.

For Push Notifications, the list of Subscribers that are eligible to receive the Push must be registered by the SDK integration.

The SDK integration is configured as detailed in the SDK Documentation.
