Urban Airship

The Deliverator bot is useful for any mobile team. Some features we're considering ... what are we missing? Messaging: Build in a bunch of options to the push command, supporting In-App Messaging and Message Center Wallet: Send a welcome offer wallet item via push notification to new users of your app. Tail: Log last N events (most recent, by type, by channel, by named user) and a -f option to unleash the entire Urban Airship Connect stream for the app on the Slack channel. (This is a joke for my friends at Slack; I promise we won’t do this.) List: Get a link to the latest Lifecycle Lists. Log a list to the channel. Alias: Associate a channel or a named user with a shorthand for use in bot commands. Top: Show top named users/channels by event type, by total events or most active users. Alert: Set certain events to post to the channel immediately when they occur (e.g., first app open, app delete, inactivity, push bodies). Whois: Based on a channel or named user, log the user profile to the channel and include a link to the profile page in the Urban Airship UI. Errors: Log any errors Urban Airship encounters to the channel. Search: Index Connect events and make them searchable from Slack. App Usage Hourly/Daily Summary: Update stats on your app every hour in channel (new users, opens, app deletes, custom events, profile changes, most active users, conversion rates, etc.). This could also include graphs! Watch User Behavior: Watch a user that has reported a bug in hopes of finding the problem. Watch a random active user in the app for a day so everyone in the channel can learn about user behavior and hopefully improve the app. Predict: Generate alerts on users who are showing signs of churn. Anomalies: Draw attention to outlier behavior in the app (could be your best users, fraud, whatever). Message Send Approval: Anyone can send a message, but it must get +1 from an approver bot. Slack messages the configured approver for +1; if approved, the notification is sent. Links: Make everything linked (channels, named users, reports, etc.) so that Slack users can easily click through into the Urban Airship UI to see more details. Location Heat Map: A heat map of location events from past hour.
