Personalized Deep Links

A deep link sends a user to a specific location in your app. If you’ve configured deep link templates — deep links with merge fields that you can personalize for your audience – you can fill templated fields in the path of your deep link with personalizable properties.

For example, if your deep link template is:

https://example.com/products/{{category}}/{{product_id}}

You would see the category and product_id fields when adding a deep link action. You could personalize the deep link with values from the event or data that you use to personalize your message.

Personalize Message Center Actions

Message center actions support the same personalization sources as a message itself. For example, if you set up an automation based on a custom event trigger — like an abandoned cart — to send a push notification with a message center action, you can personalize both the push notification and the message center message from the same information in your custom event.

When you select a message center action, you can select a template or create a new page in our Interactive Editor.
