    • Name: Enter a name of the event. The event name can be a maximum of 50 characters.
    • Owner: The field displays the name of an event creator. You cannot change the owner details.
    • Description: Enter the event description. You can enter only alphanumeric characters. If the description exceeds the existing message box area, a scroll bar appears.

  4. In the Select Message Channels section, do the following:

    Based on your requirement, select a channel to compose an event message. You need to select at least one channel: push, email, SMS, or pass to send event notifications.

    Note: When an email, push, or SMS channel is selected, you can define name-value pairs in the message. The name-value pairs are replaced with the actual data when the event message is sent, such as county-zipcode (Los Angeles-91001).
    For pass messages, you can choose an existing pass template or create a new pass to send as the event message.

    You can set channel priority to send messages to users through the Settings button available on the Events > Define Message page. For more details, see Events: Setting Message Priority
