Best Channel

WebEngage system intelligently decides the best channel (Push / Email / SMS / WhatsApp / Web Push) to send a campaign to the user depending on their past activity. Best Channel becomes an intelligent user attribute that can then be used for segmentation, analysis, and also in Journeys/Relays. Its value would be automatically updated on a periodic basis by the system.

Here's an example of the Otherwise branch would work: if you have configured 3 branches - Email, SMS and Otherwise: in this case, all users whose best channel is NOT Email or SMS would proceed from the Otherwise branch. This would also include users whose best channel is not set by the system.

Check value for a specific user

There's a section called Intelligent Attributes in the Attributes tab of the user profile. It will show what is the best channel for that user. We'll add more intelligent attributes in this section in the future, stay tuned!
