In ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign, mobile profile attributes data sent from mobile device are stored in Subscriptions to an application (appSubscriptionRcp) resource which allows you to define the data that you want to collect from your applications’ subscribers.
This resource needs to be extended to collect data you intend to send from the mobile device to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign. To do so, refer to this page for the detailed steps.
To enable personalization of your In-App messages more securely, mobile profile fields from this resource need to be configured accordingly. In your Subscriptions to an application (appSubscriptionRcp), when creating your new mobile profiles fields, check Personal and Sensitive to make them unavailable during In-App messages personalization.
Once your Subscriptions to an application custom resource is configured and published, you can start preparing your In-App delivery using the Target users based on their Mobile profile (inApp) template. Only non-personal and non-sensitive fields will be available from Subscriptions to an application (appSubscriptionRcp) resource for personalization.
If you require personalization with Personal and Sensitive fields, we recommend using the Target users based on their Campaign profile (inAppProfile) template which has additional security mechanism to ensure that your users’ PII data remains secure.
