Create Campaign API

Suggest Edits

Overview

The Create Campaign API lets you send messages to your users. You can specify the audience for your message in two ways. The first option is to target people based on user events and properties. The second option is to target people based on their user ids.

For example, you can use this API to send a price drop alert as a push notification to users who have viewed a certain product in the past week. If you have thousands of products and hundreds of thousands of users, this API lets you create a scalable and targeted way to notify your users of price drop alerts.

Create Campaign API - Target User Events & Properties

To create a campaign, you have to specify the message, channel, and people to target by their user events and properties. For example, a user event could be a purchase event and the user property could be their location.
