Edit text
The notification has four different sections of text that can be configured per offer:

Footer: displayed at the bottom (the text of the first offer that applies is used)
Text when minimized: the text displayed on the notification when it is minimized (the text of the first offer that applies is used)
When multiple offers apply to the same cart, the app will use the style of the first offer that is applied and will show the header, footer, and "text when minimized" of that offer.
The body will consist of one line for each offer that applies to the cart.
When configuring the text of the body you can configure text to be displayed:
Immediately: this can be used to "announce" an offer. For example "Add $10 to get a free gift". This displays the notification, even if the cart does not yet contain $10.
When goal achieved: only displays the notification when the offer is unlocked. For example: "You have unlocked a gift!"
