Quickstart

Launch your first geo campaign from scratch in about ten minutes.

You'll create a location, a notification and a geo campaign that sends the notification when a phone enters the location. On the Free plan you can build all of this and see it in Bubbl's Showcase demo app: connect it to your workspace in about a minute. To use your own app, you need a paid plan first: see Free plan and going live and Developers and the SDK API key.

1. 1
   Draw the location

   Go to Locations › Create Location. Search for the place on the map, choose Polygon or Circle under Geofence shape and draw it: for a polygon, click to add points and click the last point again to close it; for a circle, click to place the centre and drag the slider to set the radius. Enter a Location name and click Create location.
2. 2
   Write the notification

   Go to Notifications › Create Notification and leave the type on Message. Enter a Notification name (only your team sees it), a Headline and a Body, and watch the Live preview. Optionally add media or a call to action under Notification add-ons. Click Save and exit.
3. 3
   Start the campaign

   Go to Campaigns › Create Campaign and enter a Campaign name. Under Target scope, stay on Locations and click the location you drew. Under Schedule, set when it Runs; leave the end open to keep it running.
4. 4
   Attach the notification

   Under Notifications, click Attach existing, find your notification and click Attach. In Activation, choose On enter and click Confirm and save, then Done.
5. 5
   Create it

   Click Create campaign. It shows as Scheduled until its start time, then Active, and Bubbl starts watching the geofence for your app's users.
