Push Messaging Services

post /v2/messages/send Send Push Message

Send a push notification message to a given user. The call to this API is asynchronous and the push notifications are sent in the background.

The maximum payload size push service can sent to the APNS, FCM, or HMS is limited. Make sure to keep the message brief, and the additional content minimal.

Request

To send a push message, use the following data payload:

{
  "userId": "$USER_ID",
  "registrationId": "$REGISTRATION_ID",
  "silent": false,
  "title": "$PUSH_TITLE",
  "message": "$PUSH_MESSAGE",
  "sound": "$SOUND",
  "extras": {
    "_comment": "arbitrary keys"
  }
}
Attribute Type Description
userId* String User ID to receive the push message
registrationId UUID Optional ID of the registration to which to send the push message. The registration must be associated with the user ID value.
silent Boolean Indicates if the message is silent or not. Default value is false (audible notification displayed in the notification center).
title String Title of the push notification. Required for non-silent push notifications.
message String Message body of the push notification. Required for non-silent push notifications.
sound String Sound used for the notification. The default value is default.
extras Map<String, Object> Arbitrary data payload sent alongside the notification.

Response

}

{
  "status": "ERROR",
  "responseObject": {
    "code": "ERROR_PUSH_MESSAGE",
    "message": "Unable to send push message. Title must not be blank."
  }

    "message": "Invalid method parameter value",
    "violations": [
      {

        "invalidValue": "",
        "hint": "size must be between 1 and 255"
      }
    ]
  }
}

{
  "status": "ERROR",
  "responseObject": {
    "code": "HTTP_401",
    "message": "Unauthorized"
  }
}

  "status": "ERROR",
  "responseObject": {
    "code": "ERROR_INTERNAL_API",
    "message": "Unable to call upstream service"
  }
}

Inbox Services

Inbox services allows delivery of simple text messages to mobile apps.
