Engage With Customers Using Geotargeting

Use geo-contextual targeting to notify app users near your stores of current promotions and limited-time offers, using push notifications to prompt a visit.

Moments, the Infobip customer engagement platform, helps you easily trigger promotional push notifications at the exact moment your mobile app audience enters defined geolocation near your store.

This tutorial explains how to create simple geotargeting flow on the web interface and send promo notification right on time.

NOTE

For better user experience and meeting the clients’ expectations, the minimum radius of geofence should be set between 100 - 150 meters.

  1. To set Active Time Window (the monitored time for the area) uncheck All daycheck box and set up time frame, for ex. 08:00-20:00 from Monday to Friday. This way you are sure that notifications are sent only during your working hours.
