• Media: Send highly-segmented news updates.
• Travel and Hospitality: Send boarding passes, day of travel updates, and reservation reminders.

Templates

Email notifications should be based on a template. Templates are created in your project dashboard. First define merge fields so that the message is personalized for each user, then choose a layout and customize its appearance and settings.

How To Send an Email Notification

1. Create an email template.
2. Send a test email to yourself right from the dashboard, before saving the template for use.
3. Send the message using the template, via our API. See: Send Email.

Setup

Since setup requires configuration by Airship, you must request that email notification be added to your project. After that, add your customers' email addresses to your project so you can send to them. This is done via the API, so it is generally handled by a developer. Follow the steps in: Email: User Registration.
