A wallet campaign is a short notification sent to contacts who have installed one of your wallet passes on their Apple or Google Wallet app. Use wallet campaigns to share brief, timely information, such as a promotion or event reminder, directly on your contacts' lock screens.
This article covers one-time promotional wallet notification campaigns. You can also send wallet notifications automatically:
- When a specific event happens to a contact, such as a loyalty points update or a new loyalty tier level, using automations.
- When a contact is located near one of your stores, using geofencing.
Before you start
- Add your Apple and Google certificates to Brevo.
