Marketing
Marketing add-on unlocks the two powerful features: in-app click tracking and in-app messaging.
The add-on is available to Business plan subscribers only. Contact your launch engineer to unlock and set up.
The feature gives you better understanding of how customers are using your products and the app. Blynk apps are tracking click/tap events and send results to Firebase.
Typical use case: track how often customers use a certain feature or track most common user journeys.
All collected data is anonymized. There is no way to track actions of a particular user.
In Firebase you can build custom reports, or ask Blynk team to set them up for you.
To enable in-app tracking and set up the add-on contact your launch engineer.
There are two types of events: events tracked by default and events related to your device dashboard (widgets).

This feature allows you to reach users with a promotion / informational message when they are inside of your app, or drive them back into your app using a push notification.
This is helpful when you are trying to promote new products or features, convert users to additional paid services or simply educate them on how to best use your product.
Using Blynk.Console you will be able to:
- set up one-time or recurring campaigns
- start them immediately or schedule for a specific start time
- track the results - impressions, open rate, clicks and actions
Blynk in-app messaging allows sending push notifications, in-app messages or combine them in one campaign.
