You will then need to set an expiration date for the message, after which the message is removed from the app. We recommend a period of no longer than 7 days if the in app messaging system is used frequently i.e. daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will then need to provide the details of when you want to send the message you have created. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can choose to send the message immediately by choosing the now<\/strong> option or you can choose to send the message on a specific date<\/strong>. If you choose the specific date option you’ll be presented with a date and time picker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can then click the OK<\/strong> option in the top right corner and your message will be sent immediately if you choose to, or on a specified date if you selected that option instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your message will look like this for an app user when they receive the message.<\/p>\n\n\n
