Template Types

Use different types of templates based on your requirements:

Customizing Native In-App Templates

While using our InApp Native campaigns, there are a few guidelines that need to be followed to ensure that your in-app templates look the best on all devices.

Customizing Images

We recommend our In-App Nativ users upload images of high definition but not exceeding 1 or 2 MB in size. This is because before an In-App message is shown on the device, the image within the message is downloaded from a CDN before being shown to the user. If a user is on a slower internet connection, it might take longer for the image to be downloaded and hence there will be a delay to show the in-app message to this user.

Aspect Ratio of Images

The following are MoEngage recommended aspect ratios of images for each template type -

Accepted image types

For In-App Nativ, you can upload .png, .jpeg, and .gif as images in any of the In-App native templates. Note that for using GIFs in Android In-App Native, you need to ensure that the integration steps mentioned here are done. GIFs are supported by default on the iOS platform.

Image Quality and Size

For In-App Nativ templates, try to use high-resolution images so that they do not distort even on large screens. The higher the image size, the higher the chances of the image failing to download on a device with a flaky internet connection. Use images of less than 2MB in size so as to keep a good balance between image quality and time for download.

Scaling Images as per device dimensions

The In-App messages you create are rendered on devices with different form factors and dpi. As a result, the image that you upload on the dashboard is scaled down or scaled up when it is rendered on devices of different dimensions. For example, you upload an image of dimensions 600*1000 pixels (width * height) on a device for the template - Popup - Image. Now when this message is displayed on a device with width = 320 pixels where the in-app message occupies about 400 pixels width. In this case, we will scale down the image width to 300 pixels and calculate the height basis the aspect ratio of the image (3:5) which is 500 pixels. So the 600*1000 pixels image will be scaled down to 300*500 pixels. This way the image will never break. When images are scaled up or down, it is important to know that we only scale the width and calculate the height basis the aspect ratio of the image so that the image is not distorted when it is displayed.

Background Images

Configure background images for the In-App messages.

1. On the Content tab of step 2 of campaign creation, click Template Settings
2. In the Template background image, use one of the following:
   • Click Image URL and type or paste the URL of the image.
   • Click Upload Image and drag and drop the image or click the upload from the computer the stored image.

Background Color

Background color allows you to add a background to your in-app messages. It can also be removed to make your messages transparent.

1. On the Content tab of step 2 of campaign creation, click Template Settings.
2. In the Background color, select the color.
3. In the Phone Background color, select the color.

Nudge Templates

Nudge templates help you display non-intrusive in-app notifications that facilitate a seamless in-app experience for your users. Nudges help you engage your users by offering impactful personalization, thus improving your ROI. MoEngage offers the following nudge templates to choose from.

To create an In-app campaign with Nudge Templates, do the following:

1. In the second step of In-app campaign creation,  type Nudges in the Search templates search bar or choose Nudges in the Filter By Type filters on the left-hand filter menu. All the Nudge templates are displayed in the template selector.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What happens if an in-app message goes beyond the device height?
   A: If an in-app message when rendered has a height more than the device height then, in this case, the in-app message will not be rendered.
