How to Implement Firebase In-App-Messaging in Android

 Hello everyone , hope you are doing well ! In this blog we will learn how to implement Firebase In-App-Messaging. Before starting let me clarify about what is In-App-Messaging.

Firebase In-App Messaging helps you engage your app's active users by sending them targeted, contextual messages that encourage them to use key app features. For example, you could send an in-app message to get users to subscribe, watch a video, complete a level, or buy an item. You can customize messages as cards, banners, modals, or images, and set up triggers so that they appear exactly when they'd benefit your users most.

   implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.9'  
   // Add the In-App Messaging dependency:  
   implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-inappmessaging-display:17.1.1'  
 }  

That's it from you application end and come to firebase console.

In the Firebase console, open In-App Messaging. and click on New Campaign.
