Mobile Platform as a Service:User tag management

Last Updated:May 25, 2023

With Message Push Service (MPS), you can set tags to customize user groups to whom messages are pushed to facilitate user management. If you set a user tag when you push a message, you can push the message to all the users marked with such tag.

A tag is one attribute that describes the basic attribute, hobbies, and behavior characteristics of a user. After you set one tag for users, you can use such tag to select the user group with the same characteristic. In this way, messages are accurately pushed to targeted users. For example, you can set one tag called "Female" for female users. Then, you can select the user group marked with such tag and push messages to the group on International Women's Day.

Users have a many-to-many relationship with tags. That is, one user can correspond to multiple tags, and one tag can also correspond to multiple users.

Create a user tag

To create a user tag is to tag a group of users with the same characteristic.

The procedure is as follows:

  1. Log in to the mPaaS console, and select a target app. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Message Push Service >

    Settings > User tag management.

  2. Click Create user tag. In the displayed Create user tag page, enter a tag name and add a group. Two ways of adding a group are as follows:

    • Tag name: presents the group characteristic directly to facilitate user management. Any character is supported. A maximum of 30 characters are allowed. The tag name should be unique in an app.

    • Add a group: supports adding users directly and importing a file including user IDs.

      • Add directly: enter one or more user IDs in a text box. User IDs are separated with ",". Each record cannot exceed 60 characters in length; otherwise, the excess content will not be added. A maximum of 10,000 characters are allowed.

      • Import file: upload a .txt file that contains the user ID. The file size cannot exceed 100 MB. User IDs are separated with a line break in a file. Each record cannot exceed 60 characters in length; otherwise, the excess content will not be added. A maximum of 500,000 user IDs can be uploaded. When you import user IDs, the system automatically deduplicates the IDs.

  3. After you complete the configuration, click Submit. A new user tag is created. The new user tag will be displayed in the list.

All user tags in the list are displayed by creation time in descending order. The tag name, tag ID, users, creation time, and update time are displayed in the user tag list. Where:
