Exclude specific Activities from In-App messages display 🚫📲
Avoids displaying an In-App at the wrong time of the experience, especially on the Splashscreen of your App. If launching your app results in a splash screen, we advise not to allow Mobile Landings and In-App messages to be displayed on this activity. The Activity Exclusion feature lets you to declare this activity, and let Batch enqueue and display the Mobile Landing or In-App message over the next activity. → See Documentation

Attributes associated to this events, and especially URL ones, will allow you to easily personalize your messages, so that their content is as relevant as their timing!
