5. Now you need to select a Targeting condition under Settings for your broadcast.
   
   
   

Targeting

In Targeting, you can add filters and conditions for your targeted customers to send your broadcast.

In this section, you will find options to choose between Filters.

Here, you need to add conditional filters to your broadcast for your targeted customers.

You can add multiple conditions and set requirements on whether to send a broadcast that falls under all the following conditions or just any of the added conditions, i.e. ‘all following conditions’ or ‘any of the following conditions’.



Important Note: When you select ‘any of the following conditions’ for the broadcast it also applies to the selected channel, e.g. if you add a condition for the particular timeline and select any of the following conditions options for broadcast, the condition will be applied to all channels falling under the timeline regardless of the selected channel (i.e. both conditions are true for this case “channel == Telegram OR time == selected_time”). To broadcast only for selected channels select the option all the following conditions.

The condition for Interaction time is pre-added on this step, here you can specify a specific date and time for the interaction after which the customers have interacted, so the broadcast will be sent only to those customers.

Conditions

Here, you will find 4 types of conditions which can be applied to your broadcast message, i.e. Tags, Last Interaction, Personal details & Custom fields.



Know more about how to add and manage conditions here.

Tags: In this filter, you will find a list of dropdowns of your added tags to the customer who has any past interactions through Telegram (not other channels), select any one of the tags. To add more tags simply add a new condition.



Last Interaction: In this filter, all customers who had past interactions with any of the selected sub-filters, will be receiving your broadcast message.
Here you will find a list of the following sub-filters to select from -

Interaction Date, Interaction Time, Interaction Channel, Talked with Agent, Engaged with product flow, Engaged with collection flow, Engaged with bot flow & Has Item in Cart and not paid.

Personal details: In this filter, you can add conditions which will be based on personal information of the customer, such as Name, Email, Number & Gender.
