Setting Up Push Notifications

To send push notifications to mobile devices, use the Push Notifications subsection:

Set up push notifications by selecting the checkbox next to the used type of OS:

• Firebase Cloud Messaging for Android.

• Apple Push Notification service for iOS.

• Windows Push Notification Services for Windows.

After the checkboxes are selected fill appropriate boxes and click the Save button.

Push notifications sending algorithm:

1. User authentication with specifying device DeviceID. The response contains api_sessionid used in further requests.

2. Device token request from corresponding push notification service (iOS - APNS, Android - Firebase, Windows - wns) on a mobile device.

3. Token sending to mobile platform server with a link to device and specifying platform, service, and token itself.

NOTE. If the sent token is already in the project, but is linked to other user, the server returns error. To relink the token, authenticate as the user, to who the token is linked, and send a request to delete token from server.

4. Send a request:

• With specifying template and user on sending push notifications to a specific user.

• With specifying template and topic on sending push notifications to a group of users.

Methods and requests to send push notifications are given in the Methods for Working with Push Notifications section.

To check state of push notification sending, see the Checking State of Push Notification Sending section.
