Mobile push

Mobile Push is for delivering instant, personalized messages on mobile devices. Use it to engage users with announcements, highlight promotions, send transactional alerts, and trigger behavior-based nudges that drive retention, conversions, and in-app activity. Campaigns can be targeted, timed, and measured with rich notification formats including text, image/video, carousel/slider, and product recommendations.
