Custom in-app templates

All of Leanplum’s in-app message templates are open-source and fully customizable, allowing you to create a message that matches the look and feel of your app. See more on how to create Custom in-app message templates.

Open source template designs

Open source templates are useful if you want to add additional message data fields such as "coupon percent to apply" or other custom elements.

Once you create a custom template, sync the template to your app in Leanplum by running a debug build on a registered developer device. You may also need to click the sync button in the Message Composer dashboard.

Your custom template will now appear in the template list when you select In-App as your message type.
