Settings

The following fields can be configured for each broadcast in the general settings section.

Enabled

Enabled broadcasts are active and will be sent to the selected audience according to the configured schedule. A disabled broadcast will not be sent. You can use this setting to stop a recurring broadcast without deleting it.

Broadcast Name

The name of the broadcast. It can be anything you like. Nobody but you will see this text.

Content Category

This setting specifies the type of content that the broadcast will push. If you are unsure on the content type you can leave the default "Autodetect" and Xenioo will try to guess the type of content from the flow. If instead you know already the type of information your broadcast contain we invite you to correctly set it as it will help Xenioo improve your messages delivery optimization.

Message Type

This field specifies the broadcast message content type and can be used to define the message content for the target channel. Message Type is ignored for every channel but Facebook Messenger. While not mandatory, you are strongly invited to use a suitable message type for any Facebook Messenger broadcast as sending unsolicited or promotional content outside of the selected message type window may result in temporary or permanent ban of your page.

Notification Mode

This is the way the user will be notified when receiving your broadcast message. Select the notification mode that best suits your message importance. Message Type is ignored for every channel but Facebook Messenger.

Ignore Chat Control State

This flag, disabled by default, will ignore the chat control state when sending your broadcast. If enabled your broadcast message will reach also users that are currently under operator control otherwise only to users that are currently engaged in a standard chatbot conversation.

Targeting

This field specifies the type of Audience filter your Broadcast is going to use. By default your broadcast Audience Type will be set to "All Users" meaning that any user will receive it. By selecting the "Select an audience" option, you enable a specific Audience selection.

Audience

This field is used to specify the audience that will be used by this broadcast. You can use the plus button to create a brand new audience or the edit button to interactively change the selected audience. Changes you make to the audience here are reflected on every broadcast using it.
