IntelliNODE Use Cases

Understand how to make the most of your IntelliNODE experiment.

Overview

IntelliNODE is a clever system designed to provide your business with the benefit of optimum engagement and retention. IntelliNODE has a wide variety of industry applications. You can experiment with the messaging order, content, channel, timing, and frequency.

Following are the cases where leading different industries are solving their most interesting problems. Use the below sample use cases to exceed customer expectations and increase ROI.

FinTech

The Fintech industry has its own unique set of challenges with customer engagement and retention. While you focus on innovation and service for your customers, we can help you automate and fulfill your engagement needs.

Following are the use cases where you can test your approach:

High drop off during the know your customer (KYC) process.

High drop off during the know your customer (KYC) process

KYC is a mandatory step before the user can make any worthwhile transactions on the application. A high drop-off at this stage means a wasted acquisition.

Purpose

Find out the time of the day when the users are most likely to complete KYC.

Assumptions

Users are more likely to complete KYC registration if they are engaged at a specific time.

Experiment

Use IntelliNODE to set up different experiments to engage users at different times. If this is a weekday journey, create multiple paths to engage users based on before, during, and after office hours. Given that office hours are from 10.00 AM to 6:00 PM, create four different paths to send a push message at 8.30 AM, 2.30 PM, 6.30 PM, and 8.30 PM.

Best channel for sending coupon codes to incentivize users

Coupon Codes for Users

You can have higher app launches and more engagement and purchases if the users are incentivized with discounts.

Purpose

Make an informed decision to select two of the following channels: SMS, Email, or WhatsApp.

Assumption

Users are more likely to use coupon codes from WhatsApp. A reminder from Email or SMS can be beneficial.

Experiment

Use IntelliNODE to experiment with a combination of two channels. Use the experiments for a cost-benefit analysis of the channels. For example, create three IntelliNODE paths:

  • Path A: SMS + Email
  • Path B: WhatsApp + Email
  • Path C: SMS + WhatsApp
Select the order of messaging to inform a user about an account transaction

Select the order of the messaging channel

Which is the best messaging order to inform users about a debit in their account?

Purpose

Find out an order of messaging that balances speed and reach.

Assumption

The combination of messaging channels must have the highest reach.

  • Path A: Push > Email > SMS
  • Path B: Push > SMS > Email
  • Path C: Email > Push > SMS
  • Path D: Email > SMS > Push
  • Path E: SMS > Push > Email
  • Path F: SMS > Email > Push
Send the right market news at the right time

Schedule stock market news based on views

The following are the assumptions:

  • Articles about the long-term view of the market are most read after market hours.
  • News about global indices is read before market hours.

Experiment

Create different journeys for different times of the day. You can also experiment with different days of the week. For example, compare weekdays and weekends. You can run these two experiments simultaneously with two IntelliNODEs.

Create the following push paths:

Using IntelliNODE create a path for each, that is, Email and WhatsApp, to test your assumption. You can also add more channels to this mix.

E-commerce

While E-commerce is a buzzword today, it is also a challenging business to be in. The cost of customer acquisition and logistics, added to the high drop-off rates, is an interesting problem to solve. Customers today are more likely to buy from businesses that deliver a personalized experience.

CleverTap has collated various use cases from players in this industry with similar challenges and how IntelliNODE is helping them win.
