Add Mobile Message Targeting Rules

After you create a Mobile In-App Message or Mobile Data campaign, you can add message rules and promote content in Message Rules. Message rules control when a mobile in-app message shows for a visitor. For example, show the message when a visitor takes a specific action. Or only show the message a certain number of times per visit, during a specific time period, or all of the time. Use Promoted Content to promote a specific item or multiple items either by selecting the item or by using Einstein Recipes algorithms or Einstein Decisions AI.
