There are two steps for using RMC Geofencing:

  1. Setup Geofence - Draw a virtual perimeter around a real-world physical location that you would like to target.
  2. Create Geofencing Notification - Target your app users with relevant and engaging push notifications and in-app messages as they enter, exit or dwell within a set geofence.

Warning

In order for RMC to trigger notifications based on geofence data, your app must receive permission to collect background location from the user and must be configured to work with the RMC platform. For more details, see the RMC Developer's Guide (iOS and Android). Geofences is available for RMC iOS and Android SDK's latest versions.

GeofencesChoose from the previously created Geofences to determine the physical location you would like to target. 
Trigger Event

Geofencing notifications are only displayed when an app user triggers a specific geofence. If users don't trigger a particular geofence while the campaign runs, they will not receive the message. The different trigger option are:

  • Trigger on Enter: The notification will be sent immediately when a user goes within the geofence's radius.

  • Trigger on Exit: The notification will be sent immediately when a user leaves the geofence's radius.

  • Dwell: This option allows you to send the notification when a user has been in the geofence for a specified amount of time. For dwelling notifications an amount of time must be specified that a user must remain in the geofence before receiving the notification.
