Bottom-Sheet Nudge

Create a bottom-sheet Nudge in Digia Engage and trigger it from a WebEngage campaign.

This guide walks you through creating a bottom-sheet Nudge in Digia Engage, connecting it to WebEngage, and testing it on a device. By the end, you should have a designed Nudge in Digia, a WebEngage campaign that points to it, and a test device where you can verify the experience.

Use a bottom sheet when you want a contextual overlay, such as an offer, announcement, setup reminder, or rating prompt. Dialog Nudges follow the same flow; choose a dialog layout in the builder instead of a bottom sheet.

Before You Start

Make sure you have:

• Access to the correct Digia Engage project created with WebEngage as the CEP integration.

• Access to the matching WebEngage project.

• Your app must already be integrated with Digia Engage and WebEngage. Share the WebEngage developer integration guide with your app team if this setup is not complete yet.

• The audience and trigger event decided in WebEngage.

• If you plan to target specific app screens, review usable pages in Component Registry.

• A test profile or test segment in WebEngage so you can verify the campaign before launch.

• Any content ready: headline, body copy, image URL, CTA text, deep link, coupon code, or offer details.

This guide is written for product managers and marketers. Developer-only setup is linked above so you know what must already be complete before campaign testing.

If you plan to personalize the Nudge, decide the variables before you build.

Variable	Example value	Used for
coupon	SAVE20	Button copy or offer copy
first_name	Aarav	Personalized greeting
expiry_time	4 PM	Urgency text

---

1. Create a New Campaign

Go to Campaigns and choose New Campaign. Use a name your team can recognize later, such as:

Cart Offer Bottom Sheet - July

On the Basics step, enter the campaign name, select Nudge, and continue. Digia creates a campaign key from the name. You will use this key in WebEngage later.

Select Nudge as the campaign type before continuing.

---

2. Add Variables, If Needed

The Setup step shows the campaign key and lets you declare variables that the UI will use. If your Nudge uses dynamic values, add them before you design the UI.

In the Nudge copy	Variable name
Use {{coupon}} at checkout	coupon
Offer ends at {{expiry_time}}	expiry_time
Hi {{first_name}}, this is for you	first_name

Variables are optional. If every piece of text is fixed, you can skip this part.

Add only the variables your Nudge UI will use.

---

3. Design the Nudge

Use the visual builder to add and edit the content. The left panel lists layers, the middle panel shows the mobile preview, and the right panel shows attributes for the selected layer.

A simple campaign might include an image, headline, short body copy, one primary button, and a close action. Keep the message focused on one outcome, preview it on the smallest device size you support, and make sure text does not clip.

For the primary CTA, choose the tap behavior, such as opening a deep link, opening a URL, copying a code, or closing the sheet.

Select a layer, check the preview, adjust its properties, and continue when the Nudge is ready.

Once the Nudge UI is saved, use Live Testing Campaigns to send it to a connected debug device and check the experience before moving into delivery, review, and WebEngage setup.

4. Set Delivery Rules in Digia

On the Delivery step, choose how often Digia is allowed to show this Nudge to the same user. WebEngage controls who qualifies and when the trigger happens. Digia controls whether the Nudge should still render after WebEngage fires.

Frequency cap	When to use it
Once ever	One-time announcements or onboarding messages
Once per session	Cart, checkout, or browsing prompts
Once per day	Daily offers or reminders
N times then stop	Reminders that should eventually stop

Choose the frequency cap that matches how often the Nudge should render for the same user.

---

5. Review and Copy WebEngage Config

On the Review step, check the name, campaign type, surface, content, CTA, and frequency cap. You can save as draft while WebEngage setup is pending, or activate when the Nudge is ready. Nothing shows to users until the WebEngage campaign is configured and live.

Review the Digia setup before saving the draft or activating the campaign.

Copy the Digia campaign key from the WebEngage setup section in Digia. If the campaign uses variables, copy the variables config too.

---

6. Create the WebEngage In-App Custom HTML Campaign

Create a WebEngage In-App campaign and use Custom HTML for the content step. WebEngage decides the audience, trigger event, schedule, and priority. Digia decides what renders after the campaign fires.

Name the WebEngage campaign, choose the target audience, and continue through the campaign setup.

Choose Classic Modal as the In-App layout. Then use Custom HTML for the message content.

Select Classic Modal before opening the Custom HTML editor.

---

7. Link WebEngage to the Digia Campaign

In the Custom HTML editor, add a digia-config block. The digia_campaign_key meta tag is required. Add more meta tags only for variables used by your Digia UI.

WebEngage Custom HTML digia-config block

<template id="digia-config">
  <meta name="digia_campaign_key" content="cart_offer_bottom_sheet_july">
  <meta name="coupon" content="SAVE20">
  <meta name="first_name" content="Aarav">
  <meta name="expiry_time" content="4 PM">
</template>

Use the exact campaign key copied from your own Digia campaign. Keep the Nudge layout, copy, actions, and frequency cap in Digia; WebEngage should only carry the campaign key and optional runtime variables.

Add the Digia campaign key and variable meta tags inside the Custom HTML editor.

---

8. Test the Campaign End to End

1. Use a test audience in WebEngage.

2. Activate or preview the WebEngage campaign for that test audience.

3. Trigger the event from a test device.

4. Confirm the bottom sheet appears in the app.

5. Tap the primary CTA and confirm it performs the expected action.

6. Dismiss the Nudge and confirm the frequency cap behaves as expected.

Use WebEngage's Test Campaign step to send the Nudge to a test segment before launch.

If the campaign does not appear, check:

What to check	Why it matters
The Digia campaign is active	Draft campaigns will not render for users
digia_campaign_key matches exactly	The key is case-sensitive
The WebEngage campaign uses In-App Custom HTML	The Digia plugin only receives the expected payload format
The user qualifies in WebEngage	WebEngage owns audience and trigger rules
The trigger event fired	WebEngage only sends the campaign after its trigger
Frequency cap has not already been reached	Digia may suppress repeat renders

WebEngage can sometimes take time to start delivering a newly activated campaign. If the campaign still does not appear after your usual campaign propagation window, reach out to Digia support.
