Today we’re please to announce support for adding Timezone information for Kik Users.

Kik Messenger does not populate timezone information for users. However, According to Google research “69% of online consumers agree that timing (and) relevance of a company’s message influences their perception of a brand.”

Brands and chatbot makers should consider how the user’s attention varies over the course of the day and tune their chat notification delivery to maximize engagement. For example it’s very easy to understand that a funny joke at 3pm might be a welcome distraction but the same joke at 3am would lead to the bot being banned.

With Botmetrics, botmakers can now easily add custom timezone information to their Kik Messenger users. When combined with Botmetrics custom notifications this is a very powerful way to create a highly relevant messaging campaigns to re-engage users that are delivered at the best time for a given user.

To get started simply add the following line to your Botmetrics — Kik Messenger integration.

You can learn more about the User enrichment API on github. Now you will be able to send time zone aware notification to re-engage Kik Messenger users!
