Composer Favorites

Composer Favorites are reusable messages with preset settings and/or content. You can use Composer Favorites instead of recreating commonly used messages.

  • Quickly send time-sensitive messages.
  • Reduce campaign setup time.
  • Maintain quality control — Protect message content or settings that should not be altered — you can choose which step to start the new message from, and steps prior to that will not be accessible.

Composer Favorites are set per project, not for individual Airship users.

Creating Composer Favorites

You can create up to 100 Composer Favorites.

From your project dashboard:

  1. Select the plus icon () and select Message.

  4. Enter a name and description.
