  4. Activate the event.
  5. Call API Payload to enable events for notifications.

To add an event, follow these steps:

  2. In the Details section, enter details for the following fields:

    • Event ID: The field displays the system-generated event identification number. You cannot modify an event ID.
    • Name: Enter a name of the event. The event name can be a maximum of 50 characters.
    • Owner: The field displays the name of an event creator. You cannot change the owner details.
    • Description: Enter the event description. You can enter only alphanumeric characters. If the description exceeds the existing message box area, a scroll bar appears.

    • Event Type: Select the event type from the Event Type drop-down list.

      Note: The Name and Description fields are mandatory. If you do not enter the details, the system displays an error message that information is required.

  4. In the Select Message Channels section, do the following:

    Based on your requirement, select a channel to compose an event message. You need to select at least one channel: push, email, SMS, or pass to send event notifications.

    Note: When an email, push, or SMS channel is selected, you can define name-value pairs in the message. The name-value pairs are replaced with the actual data when the event message is sent, such as county-zipcode (Los Angeles-91001).
    For pass messages, you can choose an existing pass template or create a new pass to send as the event message.

    You can set channel priority to send messages to users through the Settings button available on the Events > Define Message page. For more details, see Events: Setting Message Priority
