Goal​

To add contacts automatically to a group that you use to send mobile push notifications. Using the below configurations, the contact is added automatically as soon as they launch your app for the first time. For more advanced configuration options such as the ability to add contacts to a group after they opt-in for push notification, see Select Mobile App Contacts (Selection Beta).

Background Information​

In Mapp Engage, you send mobile push notifications to a group.

In this procedure, you create an event-based automation when a contact launches your app for the first time. The event-based automation adds them to the sendout group.

After you set up this automation, you do not need to take any further steps to update the contacts in the group. Only use this group for messages that you send in the ​Mobile Push​ channel. You need to create automation for each app.

Prerequisites​

Create the group that you use to send mobile push notifications. For instructions, see Create a New Group.
