Hello, Intercom Community.I would like to create a Series that would use the combination of posts and pushes.The desired outcome1) user is entering the series2) we are waiting for some time and sending the POSTIF the post IS delivered (user was online), we will wait for another period of time and will send another post (of course, if the exit rules were not triggered)IF the post IS NOT delivered, we will send a push notification3) we will wait for another period of time and repeat post->push with the other messages On the screenshot you can see the draft. I would like to clarify a couple of things.If the post IS NOT delivered (user was not online), we are sending the push. Ideally user is clicking on it and opens the APP. WILL the previously send post be delivered since the user visited the platform? Or since we moved from the post to the push, Series will not send previously planned Post?If the post is not delivered and user did not enable Push Notifications or don't use the mobile app at all, what will happen? Will we move to the next step of "waiting", or we will just "stuck" on the Push step, since it cannot be sent?Unlike Post, Push have the only one outcome "When delivered", so I'm not sure, what will happen if push cannot be delivered to the user. I'm adding a screenshot of the draft to this post. I will appreciate any advices and answer that the community can provide. Thank you in advance

Hey @denis t👋 We've spoken about this but I wanted to share the answer here in case others have the same question!Q - If the post IS NOT delivered (user was not online), we are sending the push. Ideally user is clicking on it and opens the APP. WILL the previously send post be delivered since the user visited the platform? Or since we moved from the post to the push, Series will not send previously planned Post?A - @roy s11is correct. As the user did not qualify for the post message, they've moved on in the path and cannot move back so they won't receive it when they do log in. If you're using a push message to remind users to log in so they get a message, it's a good idea to add another block after the push message with the content you're hoping to share with them.Q - If the post is not delivered and user did not enable Push Notifications or don't use the mobile app at all, what will happen? Will we move to the next step of "waiting", or we will just "stuck" on the Push step, since it cannot be sent?A - If a user does not have push notifications enabled, they won't be able to match any of the rules and as there isn't a 'If not delivered' option for push messages they'll become disengaged and leave the whole path. This article looks at when a user will exit a Series in more detail. What I would do here is use a rule block to check whether a user has enabled push notifications (like in the image below). If they have, they get a push notification. If they don't, they get an email. Then, they continue through the path as normal. You could also look at how long a message will try to match for in case they do come online.

Hello @denis t, >WILL the previously send post be delivered since the user visited the platform? Or since we moved from the post to the push, Series will not send previously planned Post?If the user moved from Post to Push, only push message will be delivered. >If the post is not delivered and user did not enable Push Notifications or don't use the mobile app at all, what will happen? Will we move to the next step of "waiting", or we will just "stuck" on the Push step, since it cannot be sent?That's an interesting question, never had such a case before. In my opinion, you will just move to the next step.To avoid such cases, you can split desktop and mobile app users and send them an e-mail instead of a Push notification.Hopes this helps.
