Messages

Use our Messages Module to send push notifications, rich media and engage your app’s user base.

Use notifications to create a call to action; send alarms & reminders; and deliver alerts, updates, scores, news and other information. Inform your customers about events, promotions and sales opportunities.

Our Messages module deals with technology like APPN servers and certificates — all you need to do is just plug and play. Send messages to your user base even when your app is closed / inactive.
