Notifications

In MCI Backoffice you are able to configure a series of notification types and their templates.

Notification Types

First Time

This is a message sent the first time the user plays. A bit after leaving the game, the player will receive this notification.

Scheduled

Use this notifications to remind your players to return to the game. They are automatically scheduled everytime the player leaves the game and reset once they come back.

For example if you have this configuration:

Two messages will be scheduled after the user leaves the game.

1. The first will be delivered 1 day after he left, at 8AM.
2. The second is scheduled for 2 day’s after he left, at 8PM.

If at any point in time, the user comes back the game, any scheduled message will be reset and rescheduled again.
