Mobile channel overview
Journey Optimizer supports both inbound and outbound mobile channels:
Outbound channels
Outbound channels let you proactively deliver messages to customers without requiring a prior interaction. These interactions are ideal for campaigns, promotions, or transactional events.
All outbound channels in Adobe Journey Optimizer enforce Custom Consent Policies at message send time. If consent is not granted for a specific marketing action, the message is automatically suppressed to ensure compliant delivery.
Inbound channels
Inbound channels support customer-initiated interactions, allowing you to deliver personalized experiences the moment users engage with your brand. They enable real-time personalization and data capture—such as landing page forms or on-site behaviors—that feed directly into Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) for segmentation, targeting, and activation across journeys.
How can mobile channels work together?
By combining these channels, you can create a seamless and effective customer experience:
-
Use push notifications to quickly grab attention and bring users back to your app (e.g., “Sale starts now!”).
-
Once inside, deliver in-app messages with personalized promotions (e.g., “Here’s your 15% discount for today’s sale”).
-
Offer content cards so users can revisit the promotion anytime before it expires (e.g., “Your 15% discount ends Friday”).
-
Use SMS/MMS/RCS to send timely reminders or rich media offers directly to users who may not be in the app.
-
Engage customers in meaningful conversations through WhatsApp, ideal for customer support or interactive campaigns.
-
Leverage code-based experiences to tailor every message based on user behavior and preferences, creating a truly personalized journey across channels.
