Mobile Push

PreviousCross-Channel MessagesNextWeb Push

Last updated 7 months ago

Mobile push notifications are messages that appear on a mobile device's screen in real-time, even when users are not actively using the app. To receive push notifications on Android or iOS devices, users must first subscribe or opt-in to push notifications.

How Is FlareLane's Mobile Push Different?

  • With just one line of code, you can build a high-quality push marketing delivery, operation, and analysis environment, saving time and costs.

  • We manage your push tokens and notification histories, so there's no need to spend money on building an extensive database.

  • If notification permissions are denied, we optimize the process by sending users directly to the app settings to boost re-authorization.

  • You can analyze every message in detail, tracking metrics like click-through rates, purchases, conversion rates, and revenue generated.

  • Clicking a push notification triggers automatic, optimized handling based on the URL, whether it's a deep link or a website.

  • We provide integrated tools for managing and analyzing API dispatch cases, including API templates.

  • We provide tools to manage user fatigue, such as controlling how often notifications are sent.

How Push Notifications Work

1. App or Website Subscription

To receive push messages, customers first need to subscribe to push notifications. Upon subscription, the customer's device generates a unique anonymous identifier known as a push token, which is sent to FlareLane. This push token allows FlareLane to identify the recipient's device and send notifications accordingly.

2. Delivery of Push Notification

After a push notification is sent, FlareLane uses the push token to identify the device that matches each token and then delivers the notification to the corresponding device.

3. Receipt of Push Notification

Once the delivered push notification reaches the device that initially subscribed to your app or website, it is displayed on the device for the recipient to see.


Automatic URL Processing

FlareLane automatically handles push notification clicks for URLs starting with the following schemes:

  • http/https: Opens a web view to load the webpage. If the device supports app links or universal links, the corresponding app will be launched.

  • Deep links: If an app with a matching scheme is installed, the app will be launched automatically, and the deep link will be executed.
