Our Smart Notification Delivery system allows timing the delivery of your notification based on realtime device conditions.
Here are some examples of how Smart Delivery can improve your notification click through rate:
Wait until the the device is being held (not flat on a table), before showing a notification, to increase visibility
Hold off on notifications if the user's battery is low or they are on low data mode
Wait until the evening and the user is connected to WiFi for sending an re-engagment notification for a game
This object would be added to a notification object, to create a smart notification.
Start by setting up up a notification in your config, as described in the notification. Once the standard notification is setup, add a idealDeliveryConditions json object to the notification config. It contains the following properties:
idealDeliveryConditions.condition
: an ideal delivery condition in the form of a , defining the ideal conditions you'd like the notification delivered under. For example device_orientation != 'face_up' && device_orientation != 'face_down'
idealDeliveryConditions.maxWaitTimeSeconds
: defines how long you're willing to wait for ideal conditions, before giving up and delivering anyways. An integer number of seconds, or -1 for forever.
The notification will still wait until at least the appropriate deliveryTime as defined in your notification. However, it will also check the ideal delivery condition. If the condition isn't met, it will keep checking until it's met or maxWaitTimeSeconds has elapsed to delivery the notification.
