User Messages

Let someone know when their username is mentioned in a thread or if someone directs a message to them through your app.

Build loyalty by setting up push notifications triggered by events. For example, let a user know when a package ships, car arrives, flight is delayed, or bill is due.

Maybe your user hasn’t completed their profile yet or they left an item in their shopping cart. Send a friendly, personalized message to get them back.
