Overview - Inform

MoEngage Inform facilitates a unified messaging infrastructure across multiple channels using a single API to build and manage transactional alerts.

Transactional Alerts

Any time-sensitive transactional content that a brand sends to its customers is a Transactional Alert. The following are examples of transactional alerts:

    • Order/Booking/Purchase confirmations and pertinent updates
    • Shipping/Delivery confirmations and applicable updates
    • Security and account alerts for fraud prevention
    • Password resets 
    • OTP (one-time password)/ Verification Code
    • User invitations and shares
    • User inaction related to previous transactions

Legacy Transactional Messaging Structure

A notification is sent across multiple channels simultaneously, employing a multi-channel transactional messaging structure. To implement such a structure, you would need to:

    1. Build APIs for multiple channels
    2. Maintain these APIs across all channels and vendors
    3. Maintain vendor contracts

Legacy Structure - Drawbacks

The current Transactional Messaging infrastructure has the following drawbacks:

  • Lack of requisite developer bandwidth - Heavy reliance on engineering bandwidth to make even the slightest changes
  • Lack of visibility on alert (message) performance - Absence of a centralized dashboard to manage alerts, content templates, and delivery partners
  • Lack of control over the content - Product, content, and marketing teams have limited control over the content and alert logic because of the wait for engineering bandwidth.
