We’ve redesigned our campaign workflow to be more consistent and streamlined across all channels. As we move each channel to the new flow, you might wonder what’s changed between the old and new flow. This article covers one main change to the push notification workflow—how to configure your target audience for daily recurring push campaigns.

Our new campaign workflow and builder gives you the flexibility to build your campaigns in whatever order you choose. Use the building blocks to select campaign goals, add your campaign content, create your target audience, or schedule your campaign delivery. For an overview of the campaign builder and how to set up a new campaign, see Campaign overview and channels.

Scheduling a daily recurring campaign

In the old campaign flow, creating a daily recurring campaign based on event recency was part of the campaign Overview step:

In the streamlined campaign workflow, the functionality is split between the Schedule and Audience blocks.

First, schedule your campaign to be a recurring, daily notification. On the Schedule block, select edit , and then complete the following steps:

1. On the Schedule your campaign screen, select Recurring.
