Designed for mobile apps, this plugin enables you to reach out to your app users through one of the best notifications experiences out there - the Firebase Cloud Messaging. Using this plugin you will be able to configure an array of advanced notification features and send notifications of different types to your mobile app end-users

How to use this plugin

Start by setting up a notification backend service

To create, manage, and distribute notifications to your app users, you need to first configure a notification backend service. For that, you can use our Cloud Messaging Configurator, a Reactive Web app with a group of REST API methods that lets you compose and send notifications to users and/or topics. You’ll be able to send out notifications that include elements such as title, body, image, deeplink, and extra data with lists of key-value pairs. 

Create notification functionalities on your app

Use the Firebase Cloud Messaging actions to establish the basic notifications functionalities on your app. You can register/unregister devices, get the device token, subscribe to topics, set the badge number, manage pending notifications and clear existing ones.
