Enabling mobile app messages (push notifications)
Several one-time setup tasks must be completed to enable IBM Engage to send Mobile App Messages (push notifications).
About this task
This task outlines the main steps.
Procedure
- IBM Provisioning enables Mobile App Messages for the Engage organization.
- The Engage Org Admin grants Mobile App Messages permissions for the Engage user.
- The Engage user creates one or multiple app keys in the Engage UI. To do this, the Engage user needs the Apple certificate for IOS and/or Google API key for Android from the mobile app developer.
- The mobile app developer downloads the SDK and uses the SDK and the Engage app key to build the apps.
-
The Engage Org Admin or Engage user enables a flexible database for the Mobile App Message. It
can be a new or existing database.
Note: Each Engage organization can have only one mobile app-enabled database. If you are using Email, SMS, and Push channels in the integration, use a separate database for each channel.
