Create an In-App Message Campaign

To create an In-App message campaign, follow these steps:

Target users: Define the audience for your campaign.
Content: Design the message content.
Schedule and goals: Set the delivery schedule and track campaign performance.

Step 1: Target Users

Campaign Details

The Campaign Details section includes:

Campaign name: Enter a name to easily identify and manage your campaign. The campaign name must be between 5 and 256 characters.
Campaign tags: Select up to five tags from the drop-down list. Tags help you organize and filter campaigns. For more information, refer to Campaign Tags.

Select Platform

In the Target platforms section, select the required platforms where your In-App message should display.

If Portfolio is enabled, you can select target projects from the Select Project dropdown to specify the website where your campaign will be delivered. For more info, refer to Portfolio for In-App Campaigns.

Trigger Criteria

This section defines when the In-App message triggers for users.

On session start
On screen load
On custom event

Select On session start to display the In-App message as soon as a user’s app session begins. An app session starts when the user first interacts with the app. The session ends if the user logs out, enters from another traffic source, or is inactive for longer than the defined inactivity period (default is 30 minutes).

Under Select trigger time, select Immediately to send the message as soon as the campaign is published, or select After Delay to send the message after a specified time.

Make sure to add a delay so the In-App message does not appear on the splash screen.
With the After Delay option, you can set a maximum delay of one day (86400 seconds) and a minimum delay of one second.
The After Delay option is available in the following SDKs:
- Android SDK version 6.9.0 or later
- iOS SDK 4.11.1 or later
- React Native SDK 8.6.0 or later
- Cordova SDK 8.4.0 or later
- Capacitor SDK 3.1.0 or later
This trigger condition is available in the following SDKs:
- Android SDK version 9.0.0 or later
- iOS SDK version 6.06.0 or later
This trigger condition is presently available only for native Android and iOS. It is not supported for hybrid.

Select On screen load to display the In-App message on a specific screen or app context.

Under Select screen/In app context, you have the following options:

Any screen (Earlier on app open): The message appears as soon as the app opens on any screen where showInApp() or showNudge() is explicitly called. If these methods are not present on the initially opened screen, the message does not display until the user navigates to a screen where these methods are called. For instance, if your app has ten screens and you have added the methods to five screens, the message displays on every screen where these methods are added. Add relevant delivery controls to your campaign to prevent the message from appearing on all screens where the methods are present. For more information on delivery controls, refer here.
Specific screens: After selecting Specific screens, configure the screens or app context based on the platforms you selected. For your In-App message, you can configure either the screen, the app context, or both.
- Screen: An application can contain multiple screens, such as login, home, product, and checkout screens. Under the Android and iOS tabs, choose where the In-App campaign should display. Select screens from the Screen is any of list. You can select a maximum of five screens. This is an OR condition, so the message displays on any one of the selected screens.
- App context: A context is a section or part of a screen where you can display messages. For example, a podcast screen can have two contexts: For you and All episodes. To display the In-App campaign on the desired app context, add the context name in the App context is any of field. This is an OR condition, so the message displays on any one of the app contexts. For more information on context, refer to Android and iOS.

Under Select trigger time, select Immediately to send the message as soon as the campaign is published, or select After Delay to send the message after a specified delay.

You must add the showInApp() or showNudge() method to your screens for the In-App message to appear. For more information, refer to Display In-App.
You can set a maximum delay of 1 day (86400 seconds) and a minimum delay of 1 second with the After Delay option.
The After Delay option is available only for In-App Android SDK version 6.9.0 or higher and In-App iOS 4.11.1 or later.
Existing campaigns with the old trigger criteria On app open are migrated under On specific screen trigger and under Any screen.
Screen fetch behavior:
- For Android: MoEngage automatically fetches the selected screen from your app through the MoEngage SDK.
- For iOS: You must enter the screen name where the In-App message should display.
This trigger condition is available with the following SDKs:
- Android SDK version 9.0.0 or later
- iOS SDK version 6.06.0 or later
This trigger condition is currently available only for native Android and iOS. It does not support hybrid platforms.

Select On custom event to display In-App messages when a user performs a specific custom event.

IF user

In this section, select the event condition for your In-App campaign. MoEngage sends the In-App campaign if a user performs this event. You can add multiple events and attributes.

From the Select an event list, select the event.
Beginning with In-App Android SDK version 8.1.0 and In-App iOS SDK version 5.0.1.1, you can add multiple OR conditions within events by clicking + Trigger. For example, display the In-App message to users who have clicked in-app on mobile at least one time.

You can also refine the custom event:

Click + Attributes to add attributes to the filter.
From the Select attribute drop-down list, select the attributes and the logical drop-downs for the selected attribute.
To add more attributes:
Click + Attribute.
Click AND or OR.
From the Select attribute list, select the attributes and the logical drop-downs for the selected attribute.

For instance, if you select the event User installs the app, you can add the attribute App Version to filter for users who installed a specific version of the app.

AND then

You can add more customization with the AND then feature. In addition to the + Trigger option, the + Filter button enables you to string multiple events together.For instance, you can select the In-App Clicked Android event and then use the AND then option to add the Added to Cart event.By doing this, the In-App campaign displays to users who have clicked an In-App campaign on their mobile device at least once AND then proceeded to add an item to their cart at least once.

You can also define the time to wait before the event in the Filter condition evaluates. Setting this limit to 15 minutes implies that the user must perform the Filter event within 15 minutes of performing the first trigger event. In this example, the first event is In-App Clicked Android. You can set a maximum delay of 24 hours and a minimum delay of 1 minute here.

If you click + Filter again, you can add another event to the trigger criteria. You get the option to choose AND or *OR.*Combine the two filter conditions by choosing AND, or use the _OR_to filter users if they perform any of the events within the time limit.

THEN

In the THEN section, under Trigger the message, select an option to define when to display the message. The available options are:

Immediately: The message displays immediately after the trigger criteria are met.
After Delay: The message displays after the defined delay.

Trigger criteria summary: This section summarizes the trigger based on the events and attributes you select, making it easier to understand the trigger criteria.

You must not select the same event with the Filterand use the Thenoption. This will show an error message and your campaign will not run.
The AND then option is available only for In-App Android SDK version 8.1.0 or higher and In-App iOS 5.01.1 or higher.
When After Delay is selected, a maximum delay of 1 day (86400 seconds) and a minimum of 1 second delay can be set.
The After Delay option is available only for In-App Android SDK version 6.9.0 or higher and In-App iOS 4.11.1 or higher.
Events received from Data API or any other server-side source are not supported as a trigger action in the custom event.

Select Target Audience

This section includes segmentation filters to help you select the target audience for your campaign.

All Users
Filter by User Property
Filter by User Behavior
Filter by User Affinity
Filter by Custom Segment

Select this filter option to send the campaign to all app users. When you use this option, you cannot add multiple filters.

After selecting the filter criteria, you can also perform the following actions:

Create Multiple Filters: Create and combine multiple user property, user activity, and custom segment rules to build complex user segments.
1. Click + Filter.
2. Click AND or OR.
3. Select the attribute or event and define the filter conditions.
Exclude Users: Select this check box to define filter criteria for users to exclude from the campaign.
Re-evaluate campaign eligibility before displaying: Turn this toggle on to verify a user’s segment eligibility at the exact moment a campaign is triggered. This prevents users from seeing irrelevant content if their attributes change during an active session. For more information, refer here.
Reset filters: Click this option to clear all segmentation filters.
Show count: Click this button to display the total number of users currently in the configured segment.

If you have the Portfolio feature enabled, you can create user segments by combining user data and behavior from different apps and websites (Projects) within your workspace. For more information, refer to Segmentation in a Multi-Project Portfolio.

Re-evaluate Campaign Eligibility

By default, segment membership is evaluated during the initial campaign call when a user opens the app. Any attribute changes occurring mid-session are not reflected until the next app launch. When you enable the Re-evaluate campaign eligibility before displaying toggle, the SDK intercepts the campaign trigger to perform a live check with the backend. If user attributes have changed (for example, transitioning from a Free to Paid status), the SDK discards the outdated campaign and fetches content relevant to the user’s updated state.

InformationAvailability and Scope

SDK Version: Support for segment re-evaluation is available starting with In-app Android SDK version 9.7.0 and In-app IOS SDK version 7.04.0.
Supported segments: This feature is available only for User Attribute-based segments and Real-Time Segment Evaluation (RTSE) segments.
Excluded segments: This option is hidden for segment types where real-time changes do not apply (for example, static segments).
Limit: This option is available for up to five campaigns.

Execution Logic Once enabled, the execution logic is as follows:

Trigger detection: The user performs an action that matches the trigger criteria.
Backend verification: The SDK initiates a backend request for a new evaluation.
Eligibility check: The backend evaluates the user’s current attributes. If the user is eligible, the campaign appears; if not, it is dropped, and a failure is logged.
Campaign refresh: If the campaign is dropped, the SDK performs a new campaign call to fetch campaigns relevant to the updated segment.
Campaign display: The new, eligible campaign displays to the user within the same session on the next trigger.

Example User Journey

Step	Action	Logic	Result
1	User opens the app.	The SDK performs a campaign call. The user is identified as “Free”.	Campaign A (targeting Free users) is cached.
2	User upgrades their plan.	Attribute changes from Plan: Free to Plan: Paid.	SDK detects the attribute change.
3	User performs a trigger action.	Re-evaluate campaign eligibility before displaying toggle is turned ON. The SDK calls the backend.	Campaign display is paused for verification.
4	Evaluation occurs.	The backend identifies the user as “Paid”.	Campaign A is dropped,and a failure is logged.
5	Display.	The SDK fetches campaigns for “Paid” status.	Campaign B (Paid) appears on the next trigger point.

Note: If you disable this feature, the SDK continues to show Campaign A (Free) even after a user upgrades, until the app is restarted. Additionally, if re-evaluation is not enabled for subsequent campaigns, the SDK will not perform real-time checks for those specific campaigns.

Campaign Audience Limit

This feature helps you control campaign reach and expenditure by limiting the number of users who receive it based on engagement metrics like sends, impressions, and conversions. You can set total, daily, or instance-level limits for campaigns. For more information, refer to Campaign Audience Limit.

In-session Attributes

In-session attributes enable you to group and target users based on their actions within the current app session. For example, use in-session attributes to display onboarding flows exclusively to new users visiting your app for the first time. This method ensures that these users receive a customized experience immediately during their initial session. To add an in-session attribute:

Click the + In-session attributes button and select the required attribute from the list.
Use And/Or to combine multiple in-session attributes.
Select the Exclude Users check box to exclude users based on their in-session activity.

You can use the following in-session attributes with your In-App campaign:

Query Parameter: This attribute segments users based on query parameters in the Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Typically, users land on your personalized URL by clicking an advertisement on any social media platform.
- You can use UTM parameters to segment users based on their source or the campaign that led them to the URL.
- UTM parameters like utm_source identify campaigns driving users to websites. You can use UTM and custom parameters to segment users and personalize their experience.
User Type: This attribute segments users based on whether they are new or returning. The SDK stores user details (unique_id) for each user in the app storage. A user is considered a Returning User if the associated user details exist in the SDK data storage. Otherwise, the user is considered New. If the user clears the app cache, they are considered new.
- Note: If two users (User 1 and User 2) use the same device and User 2 logs in after User 1, User 2 is considered a returning user.
Day of the Week: This attribute segments users based on the day of the week they visit your app.
Time of the Day: This attribute segments users based on the hour of the day they visit your app. You can choose from any of the one-hour slots available in the list.
GeoLocation: This attribute segments users based on their geolocation when they visit your app. You can choose the country, state/region, and city where the user is located or exclude a specific country.

Control Group

This section provides information about control groups for the campaign. Control Groups are enabled only for promotional campaigns. They are not applicable for transactional campaigns. Enable control groups to which you want to send the promotional campaign.


In the Control group section: • Turn the Global control group toggle on to not send the campaign to all users in the control group. • Turn the Campaign control group toggle on to not send the particular campaign to the control group. For more information, refer to Control Group.

Select this option to send the campaign periodically on a specified date and time. The following fields are available in this section:

Campaign time zone: The timezone in which the campaign should send.
Start date: The date on which the campaign should send.

Periodic: The periodicity of the campaign. You can choose from the following options on the left of the screen:

Periodicity	Description
Daily	Repeat every: This option enables you to specify the number of days after which the campaign should repeat.
Weekly	Repeat every: This option enables you to specify the number of weeks for which the campaign should repeat. Repeat on: This option enables you to specify the day(s) of the week on which the campaign should send (For example, select Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to send the campaign every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday).
Monthly	Repeat every: This option enables you to specify the number of months for which the campaign should repeat. Repeat on: This option enables you to do the following: • Days of month: Choose this option for repeating date-specific campaigns. Select the date(s) of the month the campaign should send (For example, to send the campaign on the 5th and the 25th of a month, select the 5th and 25th in the calendar widget.). Note: If the selected date(s) do not exist in the specified month (if it is a shorter month), a campaign sends on the last day of the month (For example, if the 30th and 31st are selected and the month is February, one campaign sends on the 28th). • Days of week: Choose this option to specify the day(s) of the week on which the campaign should send (For example, if you want to send the campaign every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, select these days in this option). Note: If a day of the week does not exist in a month (for example, the fifth Saturday), the campaign is skipped for that instance. If overlap occurs (for example, 4th Monday and last Monday), only one instance is sent.

Ends: The date on which the campaign should end. The following options are available:
- Never: The campaign runs daily.
- On: The campaign ends on the end date and end time you specify.
Campaign active window: The time duration for which the campaign will be active for the set periodicity. For example, if the campaign displays to the user daily, the campaign active window setting determines the time interval during the day the campaign will be active. If this interval is set between 6 PM and 8 PM for a campaign with daily periodicity, the campaign will display every day to users from 6 PM to 8 PM. If the campaign is active twice a week, the campaign active window setting determines the time duration when the campaign will display to the user during the days on which the campaign would be active. The following fields are available to set the campaign active window:
- Start time: The time at which the campaign triggers for the user.
- End time: The time after which the campaign no longer displays to the user, regardless of whether the campaign is set to be active on the specified day.

Conversion Goals

You can add conversion goals to track business metrics for your campaigns, with a maximum of five goals. Choose any app event as a conversion goal activity. The first goal is treated as a primary goal. For example, if you want to track the number of customers who purchased an iPhone after your campaign was sent (Event: Purchase event, Product: iPhone), your conversion goal setup might resemble the following image:

With multiple conversion goals, you can track more than one business metric or visualize a funnel for your user actions. For example, use multiple conversion goals to check:

How many users viewed the product page?
How many added that product to the cart?
How many made a successful order?

Tracking Revenue Performance (Optional)


With MoEngage, you can track the revenue generated by your campaigns. For example, track the revenue generated by your product after sending a communication. To track revenue performance, enable the Revenue performance toggle for the conversion goal for which you want to track the revenue. In the example here, to track revenue for orderSuccessful events, enable the Revenue performance toggle.

Set Attribution window: Set an attribution window (a time period or window calculated from when the user receives/clicks the campaign, for which you want to attribute conversion goals to a specific campaign). By default, it is set for 36 hours, while the maximum attribution window can be set up to 10 days. In the example below, the attribution window is set to 5 hours.

Campaign Priority

Set a priority for your In-App campaign as Critical, High, Medium, Normal, or Low.

Delivery Controls

You can select the following options for your In-App Campaign:

Limit the maximum number of times a user can see messages from this campaign to: Control campaign frequency by entering how many times to display the message. Note: Frequency capping works at the device level, not the user level. This means if your user logs on to two devices at once, they receive the campaign on both devices even if the frequency setting is set to 1.
Add a minimum delay between two messages of this campaign: Add a minimum delay between two messages to control the frequency and timing of displaying In-App messages to the user. This setting is disabled for Nudge Templates.
Ignore frequency capping: Enable this toggle to ignore the frequency capping limit for this In-App campaign. For more information, refer to Frequency Capping. Note: Support for frequency capping is available from In-App Android SDK version 9.8.0 and In-App iOS SDK version 7.04.0.
Count for frequency capping: Enable this toggle if you want the In-App message to be included in the overall frequency capping, allowing you to monitor the total number of messages delivered to the user.
Ignore global minimum delay: Enable or disable global minimum delay settings for this particular campaign.
Auto Dismiss message after: This option dismisses the In-App message after a specified duration (in seconds). After the specified time, the In-App message is dismissed even if the user does not perform any action on it.

Delay Between Two Campaigns

If you have multiple In-App campaigns, you can stagger them by setting a minimum delay between messages from different campaigns. Go to Settings > Channels > Delivery controls.Note: This minimum delay applies to messages from different campaigns and the same campaign.Here you can set the minimum delay (in minutes) between two In-App messages from different campaigns. With this setting, if your user sees a message from Campaign 1 at time T and another message is sent before T+15, it does not display.
