An In-App Notification Centre is a centralised hub within the dashboard, allowing you to stay updated on important events, actions, and announcements without leaving the app.

Configuring the Inbox API

This API allows you to retrieve and display a list of messages for a user.

To set up the Inbox API, enable the Inbox API by setting the enable_inbox_api parameter to YES in your hydra-config.plist file.

Notes

• To use the Inbox API in iOS, you must have added the notification service extension by following the instructions under Configuring rich notifications for iOS.
• The inbox API is always enabled for Android.

Configuring the Inbox UI

This allows you to use the native notification center UI included in Hydra SDK.

To enable the Inbox UI, follow these steps:

1. Enable the Inbox API by following the instructions under Configuring the Inbox API.
2. For iOS:
   1. Configure the Inbox API.
   2. Enable the Inbox UI by setting the ENABLE_INBOX_UI parameter to YES in your hydra-config.plist file.
   3. Configure Inbox UI for iOS by adding an image asset named inboxUIPlaceholder in your project's images.xcassets.
   4. To use the default UI configuration for the built-in notification centre, set USE_DEFAULT_INBOX_UI_CONFIG to YES in HydraConfig.plist.
   5. To apply a custom UI configuration, set USE_DEFAULT_INBOX_UI_CONFIG to NO, and define the configuration in the INBOX_UI_CONFIG key in HydraConfig.plist. The HydraConfig.plist. includes all the configuration options.
3. For Android:
   1. Enable the Inbox UI by setting the enable_inbox_ui parameter to true in your hydra-config.json file.
   2. Configure Inbox UI for Android by adding an image file named hydra_inbox_ui_placeholder to the android/app/src/main/res/drawable folder. Inbox UI on Android uses the default configuration.
