Notifications

Allows sending push notifications to specific users or groups of users who use your subscription. Notifications help you communicate with your audience—announce maintenance, promotions, or service news. Spam and advertising are prohibited. Delivery is handled via Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) and Apple Push Notification service (APNs). Typical delivery time is 1–15 minutes.

Notifications look like Instagram Stories and behave similarly: support for swipes, viewing, and read status.

Two notification types:

• Optional — the user can dismiss it immediately or ignore it.

• Force — cannot be closed right away; a 10-second timer runs first, after which the user can dismiss it.

Targeting options:

• Choose a platform (iOS or Android). Each platform card shows how many devices will receive the notification.

• Or specify device HWIDs to send to specific devices (up to 5 HWIDs per send).

You can schedule delivery: enable Send on schedule and pick a date and time.

You can set a validity period—the time window during which the notification remains available for viewing.

Content supports simple formatting: bold, italic, underline, and strikethrough. You can include a URL in the text, but it won’t be clickable. For a clickable link, use the separate Link to open field.

Text is vertically centered on the device screen and expands in height based on the number of lines.

You can add a background image; it will be automatically scaled to the device screen.

Language can be specified per notification. If no language is set, all users see the default version. If a language is set, only users whose app language matches will see it.

Push notifications are available on the Enterprice plan only.
