Use Exclusion Lists and Data Extensions Lists in MobilePush

To exclude certain subscribers from receiving push notifications from MobilePush, use an exclusion list.

Note Suppression lists aren’t supported for MobilePush. Subscribers on a suppression list still receive notifications.

Use an existing list as an exclusion list when you send your push notification.

1. Create a data extension called PushSendLogDE.
   To turn on the PushSendLog template in your account, contact your marketing admin.
2. Create a Platform field and a ContactKey or SubscriberKey field.
3. Create an exclusion data extension for subscribers that you want to exclude.
4. Link both of the data extensions by using Data Designer in Contact Builder.
   1. Create an attribute group.
   2. Click Link Data Extensions and select the PushSendLogDE.
   3. To complete the linking process, select ContactKey from Customer Data and SubscriberKey from PushSendLogDE and click Save.
   4. Repeat this process for the ExclusionDE.
   5. Insert this AMPscript into the PushSendLogDE or ExclusionDE at send time. InsertData("ExclusionDE", "SubscriberID",SubscriberID, "trackingId", @guid, "messageId", internalMessageId, "deviceId", deviceId, "sendDate", NOW());
   6. Create an exclusion list from this ExclusionDE, and drag it to the Exclusion List bucket. To apply exclusions at send time, refresh this list before every send. If you’re using automation, include the Refresh Activity before the Send Activity.
