3.3. You can configure CTA buttons without requiring any development effort to:
- Seamlessly switch push notification types to include actionable buttons.
- Define multiple button actions within a single notification, expanding redirection options.
- Customize button texts and deep links to align with your campaign goals.
- Manage all configurations directly within the panel, eliminating the need for developer involvement or app updates.
- Segment CTA buttons based on user attributes, behaviors, or other targeting criteria, ensuring more personalized and relevant interactions.
- Create richer and more interactive app push experiences that drive engagement and conversion.
You can add the Message Action Buttons to campaigns that use Icon and Single Image message layouts. By default, Message Action Buttons are disabled.
The action buttons will be visible depending on your SDK version. To ensure clarity, the minimum required SDK versions are:
Once the action buttons are enabled, you can click the + (plus) sign to add up to three buttons. You can define a Button Text that determines how the button appears on end users' devices.
The maximum Button Text length varies depending on the number of buttons added:
- 1 button: Up to 48 characters
- 2 buttons: Up to 20 characters each
- 3 buttons: Up to 11 characters each
After adding the button text, you can assign a deep link to redirect those clicking the specific button. You can either add a new deep link of any type or select from the existing deep links you previously created.
Once you add the maximum number of buttons (three), the "+" icon will disappear. You can drag the buttons to rearrange them.
Additionally, previews will update dynamically based on the number of buttons and their content. This allows you to see a realistic preview of your campaign for both iOS and Android platforms.
Below you can see some example previews:
