Context Push

This page explains how to use ContextSDK to increase the open-rate of your mobile push notifications.

Overview

  • Step 1: Add ContextSDK to your app
  • Step 2: Ship app into production in Calibration Mode
  • Step 3: Once the model is ready, you'll get a message and can choose the Over-The-Air rollout

How does it work?

  • Your existing push notification provider / engagement platform sends a background push notification
  • Your app briefly wakes up for a few seconds to detect the user's real-world context
  • During calibration phase, your notifications will always be delivered the moment it's received
  • Once your custom model is ready, we deploy a CoreML machine learning model to your app
  • From that moment on, your notifications will be shown at the optimal time for the highest open-rate
  • You have control over the time span in which the notification is shown (e.g. best moment within 12 hours)
  • Use Context Push for non-time-sensitive notifications, such as news, promotions, or reminders
