Getting started with in-apps

In-app messages appear directly within your app’s interface while a user is actively using it. This makes them a less disruptive way to communicate compared to push notifications, emails, or SMS messages.

These messages always feature Rich Media elements like images and videos, along with formatted text, interactive links, and CTA buttons. This allows you to deliver visually engaging, action-driven messages that enhance user experience and boost engagement.
