Suppression List functionality

Avatar
Tyler Singer-Clark
I was wondering if there were a way to achieve "suppression list" functionality, by which I mean, I maintain a list of users (call it L) and I want to be able to send pushes to arbitrary other lists normally EXCEPT that these pushes do NOT get sent to users in L (for example, if I were marketing to the users in L through a different channel and I didn't want to hit them with extra marketing).

I didn't see any Urban Airship objects or API calls to do this, so I was wondering if I missed anything or if anyone has any suggestions on how to get this functionality.

Thanks!

Didn't find what you were looking for?

    Hi Tyler,

    You can do this by creating tag-based segments with NOT logic. You would add a tag to all devices that you do not want to message and then send to all devices which do NOT include this tag.

    Please see more here:
    http://docs.urbanairship.com/api/ua.html#create-segment
    http://docs.urbanairship.com/user-guide/audience.html#segments

    If there is anything else I can do, or if this didn't address your concerns please do not hesitate to write back.

    My Best,

    Hmm, I thought I already got that comment and marked this resolved. Oh, well. Either way, now it can be marked resolved.
