Adding a new action to the calendar

Modified on: Tue, 22 Oct, 2024 at 12:22 PM

The calendar lets you add 2 types of actions:

My actions
These actions are personal and not related to the Dialog Insight. They can be public, therefore visible to all users who have access to the same project, or private, in which case only you can see them.
Dialog Insight actions
In addition to actions that have already been created in Dialog Insight, you can also add new emails, SMS, mobile push, web push and landing page right from the calendar. For example, you might already know that you want to send a promotion message on January 15, but do not know yet what the message will be. So you can already block this date for an email, and create the email message later.
*Other Dialog Insight actions will be added in future releases.
