The "Campaign" custom feature is an advanced tool designed for implementing mass marketing strategies and customer engagement across diverse communication channels. It enables companies to create and optimize advertising campaigns, delivering messages in a customer-friendly manner. During campaign creation, users can choose from various message types, such as SMS, emails, and push notifications. You can manually select clients, choose all clients at once, or send campaign messages to clients under specific tags using the Tags feature. This flexibility allows you to tailor communication strategies to the specific needs and preferences of your target audience.



With this feature, you can:

  • Send exclusive offers via Email to selected clients;
  • Share promotions with clients through SMS;
  • Keep clients informed about crucial updates via Push notifications;
