How to create and send a corporate campaign
Overview
Corporate campaigns is a feature designed for chains with Corporate apps to create, segment, and launch promotional campaigns via push notifications. This features empowers you to deliver targeted promotions and seasonal offers, such as Black Friday deals or loyalty discounts, directly to your guests' smartphones.
A key advantage of this feature is that it does not require CRM integration, allowing you to establish a direct, permanent communication channel with anyone who has downloaded the app. This transforms a one-time visit into a long-term relationship, driving future bookings and guest engagement.
Before getting started
Before creating a campaign, please ensure the following:
- You are logged in as a Hotel Corporate user with App 360 permissions.
- The chain is currently managing a Corporate app.
- You have all images, links (with UTM parameters), and translations ready for all languages supported by the app.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1: Access Campaigns section
- Log in to the CMS.
- Navigate to the Settings icon (top right corner) and select Corporate from the dropdown menu.
- In the top menu, go to the Campaigns section. You will see a table displaying all existing campaigns.
Step 2: Create a new campaign
-
Click the Add button. A pop-up window will appear.
-
Set up the general settings:
- Name: Enter an internal name for easy identification.
- Target app: Select the app where the campaign will be launched.
- Device region: Select the geographic regions to target to ensure content relevance.

Note on the link: It’s important to include the UTM parameters to track the campaign’s performance outside of STAY.
Note on image: There are no specific dimension requirements, as the image will automatically adjust to the device where the notification is displayed. Please ensure the file is in JPG or PNG format and the size is under 1 MB.
Step 3: Manage and send the campaign
