Managing Your Messages

On the main Web push screen, you can see the Web push campaigns you previously created. Clicking on the 3 dots next to your Web push message allows you to send or schedule the campaign, edit, preview, copy, organize in folders (“move to category”) or send a test Web push to see how it looks before sending.

Let’s get this ball rolling, first step after clicking “create new webpush” button is to provide the Web push title and to select the list/segment of people to would like to send the Web push to. You can always change this later, if you’d like.

Tip: If you’re just getting started with Web push, it is best to create a new segment to keep these contacts separate. Creating a fresh segment will enable you to quickly see how many people are utilizing your Web push option.

• Web push title is for you to easily understand what the Web push is about.
• List/segment is where you set to whom this Web push campaign will be sent. You can easily target a subset of contacts within your larger list if you’d like to send a particular message pertinent to their interests.

Once set, click next to proceed to step 2.
