As the name suggests campaigns are sent to the users at the best possible time for maximum engagement and conversion. This best time is derived based on the user's interaction with previous communication sent using WebEngage's platform.
Frequency Capping, Queueing and Do Not Disturb settings will apply as usual, assuming that the campaign is set to follow these configurations.

Insights

If any communication has to be sent on a particular date then it is recommended to activate the campaign at least 24 hours in advance. Because the Send Intelligently or Send Time Optimisation analysis starts running from 12 A.M. on the date set under ‘Delivery Schedule’.

For Journeys and Relays

If you're creating a Journeys with any one of the channels i.e. Email, WhatsApp, SMS ,Push, or Web Push campaign; once you've dragged one of the channel actions, you can proceed by using the following steps to set up the 'Send Intelligently' or 'Send Time Optimisations' feature.

• Step 1: Drag the desired channel to the Journey canvas.

• Step 2: Now click on the 'send' channel link from the Journey action you've chosen
• Step 3: This then takes you to the 'Basic Info' page where you can proceed by filling in the other fields and when you get to the 'Delivery Time' option that gives you an option to click in the check box that enables the 'Send Intelligently' or STO, where the messages are not instantly delivered upon user input; rather, than being sent at the most advantageous time for optimal impact.

FAQ's

1. STO refresh to check each user's best time happens at what time interval?

Answer: Currently, the refresh cycle for the Send Intelligently or STO feature is 1 month.

2. Let's say client has been sending Email and SMS client and now he has integrated push and sending his first push campaign with STO enable at what time users will receive push?

Answer: Push notifications will be sent immediately, persisting until the subsequent refresh cycle. Once certain push interactions are recorded for specific users, STO will initiate push actions during the upcoming cycle.

3. In case of a completely new onboarded client who decided to sends his very first push campaign with STO enabled, then at what time will his users receive the Push notification?

Answer: This is a similar situation as the use case mentioned above, and will react in the same way i.e. Push notifications will be sent right away and will continue until the next refresh cycle. If users engage with the push notifications, the system (STO) will start sending more push notifications in the next cycle.
