  • The Launcher text can have up to 50 characters.

  1. In the Launcher Actions section, use the dropdown and select the content you want to trigger through a Launcher.
Note:

To attach content to a Launcher, if you do not find it in the dropdown menu, it means that there is no draft or ready version of the content. Content that is in Production will not display. Create a version of the content and then attach it to the Launcher. When you push the Launcher to the Production stage, the content linked to the Launcher is also pushed to the Production stage.
