Please follow these simple steps to create your first Content:

  1. Go to "Contents" tab and click Add Content button.

This step is not mandatory - if you select a trigger at this point, the system will create proximity campaign automatically with your content and selected trigger method. If you do not select a trigger at this point, you will have to create a campaign on your own after successfully adding your content.

    • Push - this method creates a campaign that has to be triggered manually with Push button next a campaign (learn more about Push Campaigns).
    • Loyalty Reward - this method creates a campaign that is dedicated as a reward in Loyalty Campaign (learn more how to create a Loyalty with Reward).
    • Other Loyalty

    Content Layout Each Content can have up to 3 different layouts displayed on different devices:

    1. Mobile (default layout)

  8. Below selected template you can pick a Color Scheme for your content. Color Scheme allows you to match the look & feel of the campaign to your brand.

  9. Each content you create supports Multiple Languages. For example, if your customer has a German language as native in their mobile phone and you add a German language to your content, the customer will see a content in German. How to add multiple languages to a content:

    1. Click on Add Language dropdown and pick a language you want to add.
      Content
    2. Choose the language you added from the left dropdown.
    3. Fill in all text fields for this language.
      Content
    4. If you want to edit translations for other languages simply change a language from the left dropdown.

    Texts will always be displayed in the Default Phone Language provided the text has been entered in the language needed. In the following scenarios, User A has their phone set to English and User B has their phone set to Spanish. If content has been entered in both English and Spanish, each will receive the text to match their phone settings but if User C has their phone set to German they will receive the Default language of the app, usually English. To accommodate that user, text would also need to be included in German.
  10. Enter Notification message if you want to notify your customer about your campaign. This message is displayed on user's phone when he is in proximity of a spot or receives a Push campaign.

    Notification Message
    You can use #name tag inside Notification Message field to personalize the meesage. For example if your customer name is John, by entering "Hi #name! Welcome to our shop" he will be greeted with "Hi John! Welcome to our shop" message.

    Repeat Notification allows you to specify how often user should receive the Notification Message again. Notification Delay limits the number of notifications of the same campaign that are received by a phone from the same spot. Notification Delay is described in seconds. Default Notification Delay time is set to 900 seconds (15 minutes) and can be adjusted anytime in the Settings (please note: this feature is only available for customers that have their own API key).

    You can add an Image to your Notification to create highly engaging Rich Push Notification.

    Personalised Notification
