Geofence Messaging

Contacts can receive a message when their mobile device enters or exits the geofence. A geofence location is a circular boundary that surrounds a geographical point. Contacts can receive a message when their mobile device enters or exits the geofence. In MobilePush, specify the geofence location by address or by dragging a pin onto the map. Also specify the size of the geofence, which is the radius of the circular boundary.

You can use geofence messaging to message users arriving at an event or traveling to a new city.

Note Use geofence locations with Location Entry and Location Exit message templates.
