Campaigns
A campaign pertains to specific activities designed to promote a service. For example, let us assume, Amazon wants to run a campaign to send festive offers to their customers.
A campaign comprises segments. The segments include users who are subscribed to a particular application. For example, Amazon campaign includes a segment named as Amazon Segment. The Amazon Segment includes users who are subscribed to the Amazon app.
Based on your requirement, you can add one or more segments to a campaign. You can also define the start date and the end date, and specify messages. The Amazon campaign sends push notifications, email, SMS or passes to all users when the campaign starts. A campaign also periodically checks for new users and sends them messages.
