Customer ID Fields From A User Perspective

What's The Point?

Customer ID Fields help users to control the amount of push notifications they receive from your facility. When properly edited and utilized by you (the app's manager), users will only receive information pertaining to subjects they'd like to hear about as you can filter the Push Notifications sent out by audience.

What Are Customer ID Fields?

Customer ID Fields are either/or questions that you can place in the user profile section of your app. They are most commonly used for categories that most (if not all) users fall into, with subcategories within to narrow them down further. They can then be used when sending a Push Notification to send a message to a targeted audience.

Examples

Here are some ideas for Customer ID Fields:
  1. User Type
    1. Mug Club Member
    2. Regular
