Creating Push Notification requires only 5 mins of your time. You can either broadcast the message to all of your app users or you can send the push notification to a particular segment. The segmented push notifications can be used to send meaningful messaged to users without hindering them. For example, send a 10% discount coupon on shoes to the people who already have done “Add to Cart” event with category as shoes and did not perform “Buy” event. Connecto can help you to serve 100’s of use cases around segments.
