   • Email for versatile communication.
   • SMS for real-time notifications.
   • Push notifications for engaging app users.
   • In-app messaging for direct engagement within the app.
   • Onsite interactions for engaging website visitors.

By leveraging multiple channels in recurring campaigns, you can deliver consistent, engaging, and personalised experiences tailored to your audience's preferences and behaviours, driving retention, conversion, and overall satisfaction.

• Email: Sends email content to contacts only.
• SMS: Sends SMS content to contacts only.
• Push: Sends push content to both anonymous users and contacts.
• Export: Exports the target audience to a predefined destination under "Settings > Remote Target". Can be used for both anonymous users and contacts.

Action Nodes:

• Engagement Split: Splits the audience based on reactions (e.g., delivery, open, click) from a previous "send" node.
• Random Split: Randomly splits the audience according to a given ratio.
• Decision Split: Splits the audience based on defined criteria, with recipients fulfilling criteria continuing through the green path and others through the red path.
• Wait: Delays recipients for a specified time before moving to the next node.
• Join: Merges multiple branches of the target audience.
• Finish: Ends the workflow path; each path must conclude with a Finish node.

What is the difference between splits in a campaign flow?

Random Split:

• Customised Audience Segmentation: Allows dividing the audience into multiple segments based on adjustable ratios, facilitating tailored communication distribution.
• Multi-Channel Distribution: Enables segmenting the audience for different communication channels, offering flexibility in message delivery.
• Control Over Timing: Provides control over the timing and sequencing of messages by allowing immediate communication and introducing waiting periods.

Decision Split:

• Decision-Based Segmentation: Segments the audience based on specific event-driven activities, such as purchases or checkouts, ensuring targeted messaging.

Engagement Split:

• Engagement-Based Segmentation: Assesses channel interactions like opens, deliveries, or clicks to tailor strategies and target specific audience segments based on engagement behavior.

A/B Split:

• A/B Split Testing: Compares two variations (A and B) of a marketing element to determine which performs better, helping optimize campaigns and improve marketing effectiveness based on real audience feedback.
