Pre-requisites For Creating Highly Personalized SMS Campaigns

At WebEngage, we have made it easy for you to personalize all your campaigns by leveraging real-time data points related to your user's preferences and behavior. These data points are referred to as User Attributes and Events, respectively, and make it possible for you to deliver tailored experiences at scale.

Thus, the first step is to get all these User Attributes and Events flowing into your WebEngage account from your app and website. Here's how you can go about it:

  • Pre-requisite 1: Integrate your app and website with your WebEngage account

  • Pre-requisite 2: Define and pass the Custom User Attributes and Custom Events you'd like to track for all the users that interact with your app and website

Then, simply leverage all this data to create high performing campaigns.
