Button Text (mandatory): Add text to the button.

Consider a scenario where you want to send a personalized notification about term life insurance to users. This notification redirects them to a unique URL on your website representing their user ID. It also shows them their personalized message, such as their premium amount, when it will expire, etc. So, you can send hyper-personalized app push notifications to users, tailored to them.
Step 5: Schedule Settings - Schedule: An engagement can be scheduled to be sent at a later time or triggered immediately upon the achievement of the engagement goal. To know more about Engagement Scheduling, click here.
