In-app Messaging
In-app messaging refers to direct and targeted communication to users within an event app. This type of messaging can play a vital role in improving event experiences.
In-app messaging are notifications sent to attendees within an event application. Unlike push notifications, these messages don't require users to opt-in and they can be interacted with at any time within the app. In-app messages can range from reminders about session times, updates on event schedules, to responses to attendee feedback.
Benefits
Typically, in-app messages see higher engagement rates than other forms of communication. They're effective ways of driving user behaviour, from showcasing event features, promoting sessions to enhancing attendee networking. Beyond this, in-app messages provide event organizers with invaluable realtime feedback about the user experience.
