  • Publication number: 20220060552
    Abstract: A communication server supports automatic content receipt and distribution. The communication server receives a set of content objects, where a content object of the set is associated with a set of target group identifiers. A content object of the set may include different versions of content for ABn and/or multivariate testing. The communication server generates target segment identifier combinations and distributes versions of messages proportionally to each user identifier associated with the target segment combinations. The server generates engagement metrics corresponding to interaction by the user identifiers with the messages. The metrics may be generated for each message version, each group of users, and each group combination.

  • Patent number: 10861032
    Abstract: A server may be utilized as a content management server for receiving, validating, and formatting an object for use by a second server. The server may receive a selection of a digital communication message type, receive a set of content data corresponding to the selected message type and an indication of one or more target segments. Based on the selected communication message type, the server may validate the data. If the data is validated, then the server generates a communication message content payload object. The communication message content payload object is formatted based on the requirements of the second server, such that the second server may efficiently process the objects for distribution of communication messages using the data of the object. The second server may generate and transmit previews of messages to the first server, for review and approval by an authorized user.
