## Overview

The In-App Inbox channel renders a personalized image for the in-app inbox or message center. This is used to populate personalized content in a notification-style inbox within your mobile app.

| Property          | Value                                               |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Channel type**  | Mobile                                              |
| **Output format** | In-app inbox image                                  |
| **Use case**      | Personalized inbox cards, notification center items |

## How It Works

When your app loads the inbox/message center, the workflow executes and returns personalized images for each inbox item. Each item can be independently personalized based on the user's context.

## Configuration

1. Add an In-App Inbox channel node to your workflow canvas.
2. Connect it downstream to your personalization logic.
3. After publishing, use the [Integration modal](/product-guide/workflows/integration) to get the integration URL for your mobile SDK.

## Measurement

Reelevant estimates how many people were exposed to an inbox visual, and counts the clicks on it. That exposure figure is an estimate, above 95% of the real number, not an exact count. See [Messaging and mobile measurement](/advanced-guide/analytics/messaging-and-mobile-measurement).

## Best Practices

* Inbox items persist longer than popups, so design content that remains relevant over time.
* Use different [data nodes](/product-guide/workflows/data-nodes) and logic branches to create variety in inbox content.
* Consider time-based [conditions](/product-guide/workflows/logic-nodes/conditions) to refresh inbox content periodically.
