   Important

  Message Center also requires enabling Message Center, Landing Page, Deep Link, URL, and Add Tags — Airship Actions Framework.

• Delivery by Time Zone — Schedule a message to go out at the same time in different time zones.

• Message Center, Landing Page, Deep Link, URL, and Add Tags — Airship Actions Framework.

• In-App Messages — Send a message that appears inside your app.

• Custom Keys — Pass key/value pairs of custom data through the push to your app.

• Broadcast Push — Send to all devices.

• SMS Link Shortening — Enable SMS Link ShorteningConverts HTTP/HTTPS URLs in your SMS messages to unique, shortened URLs for your recipients. The shortened URLs reduce the total number of characters that links consume and produce ‘click’ tracking metrics for your SMS messages. for all SMS messages sent through the Airship dashboard. You can override this setting for individual messages.

• Message Purpose — Require designating each message (sent to any channel) as commercial or transactional. When enabled, Purpose selection appears in the Delivery step in the Message, A/B Test, Automation, and Sequence composers and in the Settings step in the Scene and In-App Automation composers.

  Select a default value of Commercial, Transactional, or Unset. When creating messages in the dashboard, the purpose will be preset or unset according to the selected value. You can override the default per message.

  If you have any scheduled or ongoing (Automation, Sequence, In-App Automation, Scene, Survey, or recurring) messages at the time of enabling Message Purpose, edit each message and select a purpose. Until you do so, Airship will send the messages as if they were set to Transactional.

  

  • Email — The commercial vs transactional designation is required for all email messages. Even when this setting is disabled, you will still set the purpose in Sender Information when creating email messages in the dashboard.

    When Message Purpose is enabled and email and at least one other channel are selected for a message, the commercial/transactional designation set in the email Sender Information will apply to all channels.

    For non-email messages, the message purpose informs Airship about your usage, which helps us develop better reporting.

  • Holdout Experiments — Message Purpose is required when using Holdout ExperimentsA comparison of the performance of audience members who receive messaging (the treatment group) with those who do not (the holdout group) for the duration of the experiment. . Message Purpose is automatically enabled when you create your first holdout experiment. You cannot disable Message Purpose after creating a holdout experiment.
