Live Events #
Live events enable you to deliver established features on a schedule.
Similar to experiments, live events have a fixed duration and should track your defined goal metrics, such as engagement or return on ad spend (RoAS). Your live events may call for further experimentation if goal metrics start to fall or novel experiences are identified.
Battle passes, leagues, tournaments, seasonal events, special offers and even recurring messages or push notifications are all examples of live events players interact with on a daily basis.
Creating your live event calendar requires planning and should take into account event diversity, player availability and fatigue, and clashes with other internal and even external events.
The Live Events page in the Satori dashboard enables you to create, edit, and delete live events. You can review your existing events using a calendar view or a list view.
