• Set a goal: You can track your campaign conversion by setting up a goal. Setting a goal allows you to measure your campaign effectively against what you want to achieve with the campaign. You can define your conversion goal further by filtering an event by event properties. This selection is optional.

  The campaign goal can be as generic or as specific as you want. It can answer questions from How many users were influenced for purchasing an X amount? to *How many first-time visitors purchased red shoes worth a minimum of X amount and blue jackets worth a minimum of Y amount? ".

Define the Audience

You must indicate the target audience for your Audiences campaign. You can specify your target audience from the Target segment section. Here, you can create a new segment or use a previously saved user segment from the segment list.

For Past Behavior segments, you also calculate the Estimated reach.

Segment

If you want to create an ad-hoc segment, you can select a type of segment on which to base your Audiences campaign. You can create the target based on past user behavior and user properties.

On this basis, you would then set up the Who by choosing to send this campaign to all users who qualify or just a portion of the users who qualify under Estimated reach.

Deliver Audiences Notifications based on Past Behavior (PBS)

You can also target users basis their past behavior. For past behavior campaigns, you also have an option to calculate Estimated reach. The estimated reach shows the number of users that qualify for the campaign criteria and the number of reachable users.

Filter by User Properties

Using the With user properties filter in the Who section, you can segment your campaign to only reach users who meet specific criteria.

For example, you can send an Audiences notification to English-speaking female users who live in the United States.

The following table explains the various property types:

Define the Message Content

Now, you can set up the What section, that is, you can select the adset to which you want to export the user details.

Audiences Editor

Choose the adset to export for this campaign. This ensures you can get the stats for this adset back into CleverTap for you to view in the CleverTap dashboard.

Additionally, you have the option to choose from the following user details that you may want to upload to create an audience: email or phone. Customers can select either email, phone, or both. If both options are selected, CleverTap ensures that if any of these details are present in the user's profile, they are sent to Facebook.

Define the Campaign Schedule

You can set up the When to schedule the campaign start and end using the options below:

The delivery preferences for Past behavior campaigns can be set as follows:

• Send Now: Select this option to send the campaign right away.
• Schedule for later: Select this option to send the campaign on a specific date and time.
• Set as Recurring: Select this option to send the campaign at specific intervals.

Delivery preferences

Global campaign limits are limits you can apply to determine how many Audiences notifications each app user receives per day. If you want to override these settings for an important campaign, you can select the Don’t apply global campaign limits to this campaign checkbox.

You can also click the Advanced checkbox to specify Do Not Disturb (DND) hours during which notifications from this push campaign are prevented from going out, either by discarding them or delaying delivery after DND hours, such as 9 PM to 9 AM.

Since past behavior campaigns can have scheduled times, you have the option to stop a campaign delivery after a certain cut-off time, or even deliver at the specified time in the user’s timezone. For more information, refer to Delivery in User’s Timezone.

Recurring Day

If you specify a recurring day for a campaign such as the 7th of each month, then the campaign will start for the specified day and ignore the creation date. This is a precaution to avoid sending a campaign unintentionally on a prior date.

Publish Campaign

After testing and previewing the appearance of your campaign, finalize your campaign by clicking Publish Campaign.
