Alerts are the best way to get the users attentions to a particular task, event or it can even be a reminder. We can classify alerts into two broad categories, “In-app alerts“ and “Push notifications“. In this section we will look into in-app alerts. For push notifications check out our push notifications section.
In-app alerts appear to user when they are active on the app, typically in the form of a popup or a full screen UI. In-app alerts are highly contextual and best suited to deliver alerts based on user activity.
Mobiconnect platform provides easy apis to achieve this with following features.
-
