Creating Campaigns in Amazon Pinpoint

You can use campaigns to help increase engagement between your app and your users. You can create a campaign to reach out to a particular segment of your users with tailored messages or special promotions. This example demonstrates how to create a new standard campaign that sends a custom push notification to a specified segment.

Create a Campaign

Before creating a new campaign, you must define a Schedule and a Message and set these values in a WriteCampaignRequest object.

Imports

import com.amazonaws.services.pinpoint.AmazonPinpoint;
import com.amazonaws.services.pinpoint.AmazonPinpointClientBuilder;
import com.amazonaws.services.pinpoint.model.CreateCampaignRequest;
import com.amazonaws.services.pinpoint.model.CreateCampaignResult;
import com.amazonaws.services.pinpoint.model.Action;
import com.amazonaws.services.pinpoint.model.CampaignResponse;
import com.amazonaws.services.pinpoint.model.Message;
import com.amazonaws.services.pinpoint.model.MessageConfiguration;
import com.amazonaws.services.pinpoint.model.Schedule;
import com.amazonaws.services.pinpoint.model.WriteCampaignRequest;

Code

Schedule schedule = new Schedule()
        .withStartTime("IMMEDIATE");

Message defaultMessage = new Message()
        .withAction(Action.OPEN_APP)
        .withBody("My message body.")
        .withTitle("My message title.");

MessageConfiguration messageConfiguration = new MessageConfiguration()
        .withDefaultMessage(defaultMessage);

WriteCampaignRequest request = new WriteCampaignRequest()
        .withDescription("My description.")
        .withSchedule(schedule)
        .withSegmentId(segmentId)
        .withName("MyCampaign")
        .withMessageConfiguration(messageConfiguration);

Then create a new campaign in Amazon Pinpoint by providing the WriteCampaignRequest with the campaign configuration to a CreateCampaignRequest object. Finally, pass the CreateCampaignRequest object to the AmazonPinpointClient’s createCampaign method.

Code

CreateCampaignRequest createCampaignRequest = new CreateCampaignRequest()
        .withApplicationId(appId).withWriteCampaignRequest(request);

CreateCampaignResult result = client.createCampaign(createCampaignRequest);
