Choosing a message channel
When determining what message channel is best for your campaigns and Canvases, always think about the content and urgency of your message:
- Content is how visually engaging your message is. You can add multimedia and other assets to your copy to make your content more rich.
- Urgency is a measure of how quickly a message is able to notify your user and attract their attention. Notifications the user can immediately view have a high urgency, whereas messages that need the user to log in to your app have a low urgency.
The following matrix illustrates the strengths and weaknesses of key messaging channels in terms of content and urgency. Always think about how urgent and content rich your message should be, then choose the right channel for your campaign.
