Configure Push Notification Settings

To enable push notifications, you need to set up the necessary configurations. This allows notifications to be sent seamlessly to users.

Prerequisites

Before implementing push notifications, ensure the following prerequisites are met for both Android and iOS platforms.

Obtaining Push Permissions

Both Android and iOS require explicit opt-in permissions from users through an OS-level prompt. Users have the final decision to opt in or out of push notifications. Utilizing a Push Primer in-app message can boost opt-in rates effectively.

To Configure Push permissions, refer to Configuring FCM for Push Notification.
