In-app messages are the guide to drive the conversions – Firebase

Firebase is aimed to make the developer engage with their app active users within the app and manage the users in the right direction with insights collection for taking valuable actions. Here in the use cases for In-App messaging include purchase the in-app item, prompting users to share the app, and more.

The fact is, Firebase doesn’t require huge developer skills. It can be enabled by anyone with minimum skills who has hands-on basic development background to send customized in-app messages to a particular group at a scheduled time period and also provides acumens on the campaign performance.

What is In-App Messaging?

The major objective of messages sent with In-App messaging is to “PUSH” active users towards essential In-App actions like subscribing, watching a video, completing a level or buying an item. In-app messages are the guide within the app designed to drive the conversions, increase session time and encourage app exploration.  

Let us see some example, you could send an in-app messaging to get the users to subscribe, watch a video, complete a level, or even to buy an item. In this, we need to create a simple campaign message asking the users to rate the app. Once you click on the rate button, the user will be directed to the play store where there will be the list of apps and asked to submit the review for the app.
