Integration flow to use omnichannel functionality

The steps for sending app push notifications and SMS messages are described below.

1. The initial stage of integration

Sending app push

Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for Android and APNs (Apple Push Notifications Service) for iOS are used to send app push notifications. For each application, you need to have a unique FCM or APNs token, respectively.

Setting up the FCM / APNs identifier: to get started, you need to contact the Customer Success Manager to set up the FCM / APNs identifier.

You can find information on FCM / APNs tokens configuration in the relevant documentation:

For each Project, it is required to specify FCM and / or APNs token. Both identifiers can be added to the Project: when sending app push notifications, the required type of token is determined automatically, and based on this, the appropriate sending method is selected.

Sending SMS

Creating an SMS sender.

💬

The SMS Sender is the number from which SMS messages will be sent to users. To send an SMS, you must have at least one sender.

To create a new sender, contact the Customer Success Manager. In the future, this number can be used in transactional sendings and marketing campaigns.
