Overview :

• This document explains how to use the Notification Campaign feature for sending notifications to end-users based on the event group, event, site, or the type of contigent ticket they hold.

• This feature allows organizer to schedule a campaign to run on a defined date-time, provides the number of impacted users, and allows staff to set up the content and title of notifications per supported languages.

• Only an account with administrative privileges is able to access and create a campaign on this screen. 

• The system only checks if the spectator has the NotificationTokenID connected with AppID to send the notification. Therefore, the user who hasn't downloaded or registered an account won't be able to receive any notifications. 

• Organizers can search any campaign by its name and content language.
  

• The list of campaigns is ordered by Scheduled-Date and displayed with all related information including campaign ID, name, created date, scheduled date, status (scheduled, canceled,inprogress or sent), the number of impacted spectators, successfully sent and failed notifications (all those numbers are updated after the campaign is sent as they come from reporting).

2. Navigate to the Campaigns page.
3. Click on the "New Campaign" button.

   1. Campaign name
   2. Redirection on click
   3. Filters: Event Group Name, Event Site, Event Name, Contingent (if any), Ticket status, No. of transferable tickets per spectator
   4. If you already have a list of spectator email to send, choose file to upload instead
   5. Time for sending notification campaign (date, time & timezone)

How filter works:

• If you want to upload CSV file (e.g. input every emails in an Excel sheet under one column and export it to CSV) template_campaign.csv :
  • Only emails from this file are taken into account for push notification.
  • All event filters will be cleared and disabled until CSV is removed.
• If you want to use filters instead:
  • It's mandatory to have at least one chosen event filter of Event Group, Event Site or Event Name.
  • And these are some other optional filters: Contingent, Ticket status, No. of transferable tickets per spectator.
  • List of impacted users includes all emails that meet all selected criteria.

Note: The transferable tickets are counted based on the transfer rule that applies to the tickets combined with the main applicant rule (the main applicant tickets are non-transferable tickets)

Input general info:

2 options to provide the list of target spectators:

• upload a list of spectator emails

Editing unsent campaign :

• As an admin user, you have the ability to edit schedules as long as they have not yet been sent. This allows you to make changes and adjustments to the schedule before it is finalized and sent to users. Follow the steps below to edit an unsent schedule:

1. 1. If the campaign is under SCHEDULED status, click on the "Edit" button located next to the campaign.

   2. Once in edit mode, you can make changes to any aspect of the content & scheduling options

   3. After making your desired changes, be sure to submit the schedule before exiting. This will ensure that all edits are recorded and that the schedule is up-to-date.

   4. If you need to make further changes, you can repeat these steps as needed prior to the schedule is sent.

• Note: Once a schedule has been sent or cancelled or inprogress, you will no longer be able to make edits to it. Therefore, it is important to review and double-check all schedules before sending them to ensure accuracy and completeness.

Campaign's statuses :

Split notification campaign's batches :

• In order to avoid performance issue, we recommend organizers to split whole campaign into smaller batch size.

How to use: 

• • Going to Organizer Settings => Set the values for 2 keys push.notification.campaign.delay and push.notification.campaign.batch_size
  • Use case: Organizer want to send notification to all spectators of Match A (which already has 40000 spectators). It's recommended organizer to set up a batch size of maximum 20000 and delay time of 10 minutes.
